We recently celebrated the 7th anniversary of @theustunlab.bsky.social with a barbecue! Our journey began in Tübingen in September 2018 and has continued in Bochum since 2022. Excited to see what the coming years will bring!

7 years ago,I sat outside @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social,gathering the courage to begin a new chapter as a group leader. Now in Bochum, I still need that courage to face challenges—both inside & outside the lab—but after all I’m grateful that I still find joy in what I do. #happybirthday #theustunlab

Tired of what‘s happening in the world and surrounding - I guess I‘ll just stay here for awhile and disappear #offline

We (@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @margotraffeiner.bsky.social @shanshuo.bsky.social) had a fantastic #2025ISMPMI in Cologne with lots of amazing science and great networking meeting old friends and new ones. Hope to see you all next time in Jeju/South Korea #2027ISMPMI

Last day of #2025ISMPMI, last poster session: dont miss @shanshuo.bsky.social fantastic poster about how we used a combination of scRNAseq and cell-type specific approaches to reveal the role of autophagy in stomatal & mesophyll immunity during Pseudomonas infection - more info ➡️ P-432 #proteostasis

Happy to meet you at poster no. P-405 and to talk about my project at #2025ISMPMI this afternoon! 🌿

If you wanna dive into the world of #proteostasis and its role in plant immunity, visit @margotraffeiner.bsky.social poster (P-405) today. She discovered a novel proteotoxicity regulator (a protease with ubiquitin binding capacities) that plays a role in biotic and abiotic stresses! #2025ISMPMI

Now @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social is on stage presenting his exciting project on p-bodies, and how bacteria utilize them to attenuate host translation #proteostasis #2025ISMPMI

@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social explains that eukaryote P bodies contain translationally inactive RNAs.

Do pathogens induce the formation of these? Yes!

How? Effectors!… that repress ER stress response.

Why? Make plants susceptible by reducing translation of immunity genes.
