Please RT Excited to announce that together with @StefanDiezLab we have an open PhD student or Postdoc position @BCUBE_TUDresden @PoLDresden If you are a biophysicist/cell biologist interested in exploring the unusual cell motility of diatoms contact us for more details #diatom

Our new paper is out! Or Eliason, PhD student in the lab, shows that while some environmental proxies are sensitive to microbial interactions, others are not. An exciting step towards reconstructing past microbial interactions. doi.org/10.1111/gbi.12487

Very cool paper. Diatom shells are fascinating and it's even more fascinating that people are still uncovering how they are forming. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Structural evidence for extracellular silica formation by diatoms

Structural evidence for extracellular silica formation by diatoms

Nature Communications - Silica formation in diatoms is of interest for a range of different subjects from biomimetics to oceanography. Here the authors study the formation of silicified extensions...

Excited to share this! just out @Dev_Cell. Heroic effort by @Kamaleshk_ etal together with Shilo lab @WeizmannScience showing #exocytosis of large exocrine vesicles occurs by membrane crumpling preserving cell membrane integrity. Why is it important? 1/n👇 tinyurl.com/5tecm54k
