It was a great pleasure to make this cover for Silvia Galiani, Katharina Reglinski, @carravilla_p, @aurel_barbotin, @uiztok, @Sciezgin, @faldalf,@dwaithe,and @AgEggeling to their new article in @BiophysReports! I would like to thank Silvia and Katharina for the great cooperation!
"Days of biophysics" - the yearly meeting of the Slovenian Biophysical Society - are finally back in person! Diverse topics from nanoparticles, phase separation, cell mechanics, to medical applications. Looking forward to the evening poster session! #DBS22
@AjasjaLjubetic presenting de novo designed random walkers, detected with single molecule flurescence microscopy - cool stuff!
Our 🔬🖥️ whizz Petra attended #DL4MIA and said it was superbly organised, extremely useful and greatly enjoyable (I'd have been even more in person, no doubt). Many thanks @jug_lab @florianjug @humantehnopole for running it, others make sure you grab a place at the next one!
Today was the first day of #DL4MIA (DL for Microscopy Image Analysis). It was quite a ride... so much so, I didn't even manage to tweet about it.
Here 24 awesome students following my calling to move from teamwork to lecture... @humantechnopole @gather_town

Hello hello Postdocs! The BPI team (bpi-oxford.com) @FritzscheLab seeks two new Postdocs focused on Microfluids and Advanced Image Analysis.
Email us if you are interested!

The plasma membrane is a very heterogeneous and dynamic structure. Embracing this @uiztok and I are editing a special issue on “Membrane Architecture and Asymmetry” in @Membranes_MDPI If you share our excitement, please consider contributing! More info: mdpi.com/si/96993

The first paper of my postdoc with @AgEggeling is out! Let me briefly tell you about it. I hope this threat is easy to understand also for non-experts.

If you are attending @ebsa_in Vienna, you can hear more about our work: posters @SychTaras Sunday (today) at 5-7pm, @carravilla_p Monday at 5-7pm and @BioSciFlo Tuesday 5-7pm.. talks @uiztok and myself 2-3:30pm in Membrane Architecture and Asymmetry session.
In a nutshell: a slow-down of membrane proteins (including T-cell receptor, TCR) by aggregation or ligand binding locally induces higher lipid order, which can in turn recruit proteins that prefer such environment (like Lck, required for T-cell activation). A short twittorial 👇
Now published in @FEBS_Letters .. Aggregation and mobility of membrane proteins interplay with local lipid order in the plasma membrane of T cells.. Amazing effort by @uiztok and Co. @DrEdJenks @faldalf @caitlin_obb @nicollade @AgEggeling
febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com…
Finally, the aggregates of TCR or CD45 (which induce higher local lipid order) in passive GPMVs can attract Lck (which prefers ordered lipid environment).
To what extent this biophysical energy-entropy interplay affects cell activation, remains to be seen… But similarities of the triggering processes in immune cells (e.g. recent works of @VeatchLab on B-cells) hint at a general molecular mechanism.
