With deep sadness, we share that Prof. Jochen Guck, Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light passed away on October 3. His visionary work bridged physics and medicine. We have lost a brilliant scientist and dear friend.

Researchers from #MPZPM and @mpiib-berlin.mpg.de have now compared the ratio of nuclear and cytoplasmic density in different organisms and come to a surprising conclusion: the cell nucleus in eukaryotes is less dense than the rest of the cell.

📃 New paper alert!
The Zychlinsky Lab and @raunser-lab.bsky.social identified the first protein that converts chromatin into an immune effector: Myeloperoxidase transforms chromatin into neutrophil extracellular traps. Now published in @nature.com:

Myeloperoxidase transforms chromatin into neutrophil extracellular traps - Nature
Myeloperoxidase, a highly expressed neutrophil protein, disassembles nucleosomes, facilitating neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, and binds stably to NETs extracellularly.

It's here! It's out! AND It's become better 🐸

Our fundamental work on intracellular density distributions, how it influences cellular organisation & how deviations occur during pathophysiological states like senescence is out in @natcomms.nature.com

Congratulations & thank you to the entire team!

🚨 New paper alert: cytoplasm density controls spindle architecture and size. This shows for the first time that a physical property of the cytoplasm regulates the spindle. Congrats to @simonereber.bsky.social, @tobiaskletter.bsky.social and everyone who contributed.
