A tiny bit of joy: France serves up mitotic spindle fireworks on Bastille Day.
Mammalian cells form hibernating disomes akin to those in bacterial cells - but connected via ribosomal RNA

Had a great day at Human Technopole - lots of stimulating discussions with students and faculty and also, this should be a new standard, Aperol spritz after the seminar! @humantechnopole.bsky.social
explorers at the farthest reaches of our knowledge 🤩 neuronal ribosomes, and their mysterious rRNA expansion segments
immense story from the dream team @andschwarz.bsky.social & @muellermara.bsky.social in the @erin-schuman.bsky.social lab at @mpibrain.bsky.social
ribosome structure♥️neurons
A festive finish to the Max Planck Junior Scholars Program 2025! 🎓 After 3 weeks of hands-on science, twelve outstanding students presented their research & experiences at today’s certificate ceremony at the MPI 🧠. Driven, talented minds, and full of potential! @maxplanck.de 🔗 bit.ly/3H33m3S
A molecular atlas of the hippocampus: Scientist at the MPIs for Brain Research and Biophysics map RNAs and proteins at synaptic resolution 🔬 🔗 brain.mpg.de/molecular-at... @evakaulich.bsky.social @erin-schuman.bsky.social
Ribosomes in pairs: A survival strategy inside stressed cells.
When nutrients drop or temperatures shift, cells switch to survival mode. New work by @erin-schuman.bsky.social & colleagues shows that inactive ribosomes pair up via a ribosomal RNA link @andschwarz.bsky.social @muellermara.bsky.social
Here’s a group photo from the 2nd block of the Cajal Course "Advanced Techniques for #Synapse Biology", with our top speakers @erin-schuman.bsky.social & @verstrekenlab.bsky.social, plus our brilliant directors @cecilecharrier.bsky.social & Julien Dupuis.
Great time connecting in #neuroscience!
On #InternationalWomensDay, we remember Cécile Vogt, co-founder of our original institute, and her daughters Marthe and Marguerite Vogt - all pioneering scientists in their fields.
Their impact continues to shape modern science today.
