#stuffthatmatters Congratulations!
✨ A study in nature.com from our Faculty at @unikarlova.cuni.cz reveals Solarion arienae, a rare #protist forming a newly identified eukaryotic supersroup Disparia. A unique window into early #eukaryotic cell #evolution. 🌍🔬👏

BigVolumeBrowser: a new 3D multi volume/mesh/point clould (SMLM) data viewer
Hello everyone, I’d like to share with you another 3D viewer for FIJI, BigVolumeBrowser (full documentation link). It‘s a first initial public release, so there is still space for improvements. Le...

This sounds like SF but expansion microscopy sceptics have been wrong before, so let’s see. #stuffthatmatters
Hello #world, meet 1,000× Expansion Microscopy.
A small gel would grow to the size of an Olympic swimming pool, while amino-acid-scale distances become visible with ordinary light microscopy.
Led by Helena Hu from @eboyden3.bsky.social's lab, in collab with us.

This is great #stuffthatmatters. Congratulations to Liedewij Laan and @embopress.org for recognizing the importance and brilliance of this work.
And another paper!
We show that compensatory evolution in the yeast polarity network leads to global genetic rewiring: restoring polarity reshapes gene disruption tolerance across the genome and rewires entire cellular processes—not just individual genes.

Global genetic rewiring during compensatory evolution in the yeast polarity network - EMBO Reports
Functional defects resulting from deleterious mutations can often be restored during evolution by compensatory mutations. Importantly, this process can generate the genetic diversity seen in networks ...

Are animals of different sizes made of the same cell types?
Here’s an update of the main points and revision items

Great story from @brugueslab.bsky.social. Congratulations, especially to @alisonkickuth.bsky.social. It was an honour to serve on the Thesis Advisory Committee! @mpi-cbg.de @poldresden.bsky.social #stuffthatmatters
Excited to share Alison's @alisonkickuth.bsky.social paper from the lab out in @nature.com this week! We uncovered how a mechanical ratchet mechanism drives cytokinesis in early #zebrafish embryos. Read more in this thread 🧵 and at www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🤩
