1/3 A tubulin dimer can rest in one of two tilted positions — like a light switch that's up or down. Model a microtubule as a chain of these two-state switches, and the equations collapse into something solvable. #academicsky #biophysics #neuroskyence

Tue afternoon, 2:45: "Hybrid Microwave-PEF platform for sensing PEF-induced electrochemical effects", led by Petr Kůrka. One gold electrode pair that makes the bubbles and watches them, in real time. @isebtt #WCE2026 #Electroporation #PulsedElectricFields #ISEBTT

Closing session S07 at 11:45 on Tue: "PEF sequence architecture determines the electrochemical effects on tubulin", led by Tomáš Zakar. Change the pulse sequence and the protein response follows. @isebtt #WCE2026 #Electroporation #PulsedElectricFields #ISEBTT

First of three talks at the 6th World Congress on Electroporation: "Direct and indirect effects of electric fields on protein systems" opens session S07 on Tue 29 Sep, 10:30, Coquina Salons GH. @isebtt #WCE2026 #Electroporation #PulsedElectricFields #ISEBTT

I'm thrilled that Ondřej is presenting our findings on electric and electrochemical effects on tubulin at #cytoskeletonclub2026 – stay tuned for the full paper soon! #Cytoskeleton #Microtubules #Actin

Cytoskeleton Club 2026 just started! #cytoskeletonclub2026

A 2026 paper in PNAS: AI tools like AlphaFold keep hiding electrically charged building blocks inside a protein's oily core, a spot real proteins never use. Brief physics simulations push the charges back out. #biophysics #scicomm https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2609610123

It is my pleasure and honor to announce that I have been elected vice-chair of Commission K (electromagnetics in biology and medicine) of URSI, and Ivana Kolmasova as the new vice-chair of Commission H of URSI. Czechia is strong in radio science! #ursigass2026 #URSI #RadioScience #Electromagnetics

Přemek delivered a great talk today on our sub-THz on-chip power delivery device, which sparked a lot of interest in the audience. Congratulations on his first presentation at an international conference! #ursigass2026 #BioElectroMagnetics #Biophysics #THzTechnology

Today at #ursigass2026 I presented our research on pulsed electric fields, ROS, and chemiluminescence. Grateful for the great feedback! Also featured our Biophotoniq initiative. #BioElectroMagnetics #PulsedElectricFields #ReactiveOxygenSpecies

I enjoyed presenting our computational results on the sub-THz vibration modes of hydrated proteins (tubulin and kinesin) and their contribution to the dielectric response. #URSIGASS2026 #BioElectroMagnetics #Biophysics #Tubulin

It's been a great start to the conference so far. I'm glad to be attending with my very talented student Přemysl Klajs — we're learning a lot about radio science across many different fields. #ursigass2026 #URSI #RadioScience #Electromagnetics

📢 Conference Alert!🚨 @mcer33.bsky.social and Přemysl Klajs are set to attend #URSIGASS2026 in Kraków! They’ll be representing our group, sharing our research, and connecting with the international #RadioScience community. Wishing them an inspiring and successful #conference! 🧑‍🏫🖖

Radio waves can switch how flavoproteins glow. Radical pairs in cryptochrome and iLOV respond only at specific RF/static-field combos, allowing magnetic-field sensing and RF control of photoluminescence. #radicalPairMechanism #quantumBiology https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-026-03158-5

If you’re at Colors of Ostrava today, come find me at the Curiosity Stage hosted by the Czech Academy of Sciences. I’ll be there for live science conversation — bring your questions about cells, fields, and how biology talks to physics. #coloursofostrava #conference #scienceCommunity

Singapore airport, halfway to BioEM26 in Cairns, and the science chat has already started. Martin Bereta is bringing 50 Hz magnetic-field measurements on yeast—3.5 mT—to the meeting. Looking forward to seeing the poster on the ground in Australia. #bioem2026 #BioEM #Bioelectromagnetics

Quick live take from BioEM 2026 in Cairns. Erdal Korkmaz presented a mm-wave sensor built with TU Delft and benchmarked it in a real Torino deployment. The match was good, and the Part 2 readings sat well below ICNIRP limits. He also left with fresh therapeutic ideas. #bioem2026 #dosimetry #EMF

A Cell paper shows a neglected transmembrane protein can make cells sense electric fields. When transferred into a normally unresponsive cell type, it directed migration along the field. #bioelectromagnetics #cellularBiology #electromagneticFields https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2026.04.026

Melanin doesn't just block UV—it can *store* it. Brash et al. (2018) showed UV creates a chemical time bomb: a dioxetane on melanin that decomposes in the dark, transferring triplet energy to DNA → "dark CPDs" hours later. #Science

"Our real duty as teachers has always been challenging students to think. The task now is finding ways to engage them in the painful, essential work of critical thinking in a world where machines are willing to do it for them." #ScienceWorkingLife https://scim.ag/4vKqh8k

Live from BioEM 2026 in Cairns — just bumped into Pia Schneeweiss between sessions in the corridor. Her top science highlight: the neuromodulation session, brand-new to her and full of medical possibilities. Also: crocodiles and a dancing baby kangaroo at the gala. #bioem2026 #Bioelectromagnetics #C

Possible explanations for the trend are emerging, but are likely to vary from one type of tumour to another.
