1/ 🎯 A therapeutic target that would curb the spread of #coronaviruses has been identified
It is an enzyme that is activated in human cells in response to stress due to infection and causes changes in the cellular machinery that favour the production and spread of coronaviruses

#membrane seminars are back this week wirh Manu @deriverylab.bsky.social and Andela Šarić! Join us on Thursday at 5 pm CET spread the word!
Many thanks Sam for coming all the way from warm Brisbane! It was a lot of fun and great science, including beautiful 🥞 biology 😍 thanks for sharing!
Home from a great #EMBO workshop in Barcelona. Intracellular mechanics & organelle Mechanobiology was such a fun topic! @christanny.bsky.social made sure I didn’t get lost. It was great to catch up with @katemiro.bsky.social 1st time in almost 10yrs!!. Thank you to the hosts.. (continued) 1/2
🚨 We are hiring TWO postdocs to join the Cell Migration Lab (cellmig.org) 🇫🇮 as part of the new Centre of Excellence in Immune–Endothelial Interfaces (IMMENs).
Join us to decode immune regulation & develop next-gen imaging tools! 🧪🔬

CALLING PHDs AND POSTDOCS! Apply for the 20th FEBS/EMBO summer school on Membranes lipids & proteins in organelle biogenesis! Spend a glorious week with leaders in the field on the beautiful island of Spetses in Greece this May. Registration: spetses2026.sites.uu.nl @embo.org @febspress.bsky.social
Join us next Tuesday for the next @dgz.bsky.social workshop on #trafficking and EVs! Spread the word please!
yes:) we shared the link in the slack group
Thanks Edward, any time :)
Congratulations Edward and Pierre! Great work, I'm sure this will be a very useful tool for many in the field, including us :)
Our new paper's out: FidlTrack—structure-aware single-particle tracking benchmarks/boost SPT fidelity
With it we resolve with sub-organelle res. e.g. BACE1 amyloidogenic APP cleavage #Alzheimers, ER exit events, map nanobody binding in realtime in ER/organelles 🔬🧠#SingleMolecule

Only a few spots left for this amazing meeting! Just sign up and join us to discuss all #cellbio #imaging things!
If you are in Barcelona next Friday (20th) morning, pass by the PRBB to learn about #MembraneTension dynamics from Erdem Karatekin!
Exciting preprint from the @merz.bsky.social lab proposing how fidelity of membrane fusion is achieved #membranes #trafficking
Postdoc job alert at Institut Jacques Monod in Paris! Interested in fundamental membrane trafficking? We seek a postdoc to study collagen secretion as a model for core principles of how cells and their environment build each other. emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...
🌞 Do you fancy continuing your research career in Barcelona?
📚 Would you like to work in a research intensive public university?
We are now looking for researchers willing to submit a MSCA-PF with us!

Join us this Thursday (Jan 29) at 5pm CET for the first #MembraneTrafficking seminars of 2026, featuring two outstanding scientists, Giovanni D'Angelo (EPFL) and Sean Munro (@cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social), and the shared topic of protein trafficking, retention & sorting at the #Golgi 🥞
Two PhD positions just opened in the Gallego lab at our department @melisupf.bsky.social @upf.edu @prbb.org! #MembraneTrafficking in cryo-tolerant systems, with wet lab and computational projects available. Come do cool (and cold 😉) science with Oriol in Barcelona!
Happy to highlight our collaborative work from our @ijmonod.bsky.social team with @destriano.bsky.social, B. Goyeau and M. Chabanon.
Cytoplasmic crowding acts as a porous medium that hinders macromolecular diffusivity.
Plus: a clever way to measure cell volume.
