O'zapft is!
Great times at our Octoberfest @yalembb.bsky.social yesterday with perfect weather and amazing home-brew!

FOMO no more: NOMO and Calmin extend #mechanobiology to the ER. Julie Heffler and Jan Lammerding @LammerdingLab.bsky.social discuss recent studies from the @schliekerlab.bsky.social (doi.org/10.1083/jcb....) & @hennelab.bsky.social (doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...), in Spotlight: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Thank you indeed-great read and excellent discussion on our recent papers identifying molecular mechanisms that (I) connect cellular forces to organelles and (II) enable elaborate membrane systems to respond to mechanical challenge

Congrats Kim et al!

New study showing the development of pan-Expansion Microscopy by Morgan et al. @luskinglab.bsky.social to reveal the molecular composition and structural plasticity of individual nuclear pore complexes including LINC complex-dependent dilation. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

our genome-wide CRISPR screen revealed strong ties between microcephaly-related genes and aberrant condensates revealing unexpected cellular pathology! Our chemical-genetic platform could accelerate the hunt for treatments for neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders!

🔬 Key findings:
-RNF26 and ZNF335 protect against harmful protein buildup.
-identification of compounds that have potential to counteract toxic condensates.
-Links to zinc biology, autophagy, and oxidative stress offer new therapeutic angles.

We’ve pioneered a disease-agnostic screening platform for aberrant biomolecular condensates—cellular structures linked to incurable neurological diseases. We screened genes and FDA-approved drugs that modulate disease-relevant nuclear condensates: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

In a great collaboration with @hummerlab.bsky.social and the Kräusslich lab: HIV capsid doesn't break at the NPC; instead, it cracks open the NPC itself! Details in Cell: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @mpibp.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social A thread below:
