The algal pyrenoid fixes ~1/3 of global carbon, relying on a unique membrane-within-condensate architecture. How is this architecture built? We discovered that the protein MITH1 draws membranes into the pyrenoid condensate by promoting wetting! 🌿💧

Did you know that stem cells have unusually large transcription clusters, which disappear upon differentiation? Yes? You paid attention in 2018!
In 2026, we show you that this process proceeds via massive, global shifts in transcriptional control.

definitely my favorite social media quiz since "what dinosaur/weapon combo would you ride into battle" of some 18 years back. I got "mathematical mystic," which seems right.
We are very happy for our colleague Dr. Jonas Pöhls! After defending his Ph.D. in an interlaboratory project between Lab Shevchenko and @tothpetroczylab.bsky.social, Jonas will continue his scientific career as a postdoctoral fellow at the Vienna BioCenter. Stay in touch with @mpi-cbg.de friends!

📢 We are looking for a Junior Group Leader to join us at @institutcurie.bsky.social!
Having joined the department just over a year ago, I can honestly say that it is an exceptionally stimulating and supportive scientific environment, filled with outstanding colleagues — all in the heart of Paris.
