I'm thrilled to see our recent paper out in @dev-journal.bsky.social 🎉
Here we look into the transition from cell division to differentiation in the late stomatal lineage and identify regulators of guard cell morphology and function

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.

Happy to share our newest preprint. We developed guidelines and analysis workflows for FLIM Imaging in plants. Multiplexing with spectrally overlapping fluorophores in plants is now possible. Have a look. Any feedback is more than welcome.

Mitochondria interact directly with the nuclear pore complex via VDAC1–RANBP2 binding to sustain nuclear ATP levels.
Abstract. Vascular cambium produces cells to form xylem, or wood, in tree stems. Here, we explored transregulatory pathways in this cell lineage developmen
