Take a look at this recently published paper in LSA:
Proliferation and differentiation in intestinal organoids are balanced by ligand-modulated EGFR trafficking

Our group leader Andrija Sente has received the highly coveted @ERC_Research Starting Grant. His group will explore the molecular mechanisms and cell biological pathways that control the biogenesis of several classes of neurotransmitter receptors.

After successfully completing her biological laboratory technician training, Franziska Müller went on to earn first a bachelor’s and then a master’s degree - all while working as a technical assistant. Kudos!
We wish Franzi every success as a doctoral candidate at @LMU_Muenchen
Congrats to Verena Cmentowski, former PhD student in the Musacchio lab, on receiving the @maxplanckpress Otto Hahn Medal "I am deeply grateful to my supervisor, Andrea Musacchio, for his guidance and ongoing support, which have helped shape me into the researcher I am today."
Two new papers from the Musacchio lab published in The EMBO Journal!
link.springer.com/article/10… Kai Walstein, Louisa Hill & others – On role of M18BP1 in CENP-A loading
link.springer.com/article/10… Arianna Esposito Verza and others – On mechanism of activation of PLK1
We warmly welcome our new #LiseMeitner Group Leader Katerina Naydenova. Her group will investigate cellular defence mechanisms and develop novel methods in the field of cryogenic electron microscopy.

"My time at the MPI Dortmund has been amazing! Not only have I made many friends, but I've also gained the required skills that laid the foundation for the next step in my career. " Congrats to @WoutOosterheert
on his new group leader position at the the @NKI_nl 👏
Using 16 (!) cryo-EM structures, the @Intein laboratory uncovered how the three proteins coronin, cofilin and AIP1 work together to rapidly disassemble actin filaments. Congrats to @WoutOosterheert et al.
