Great honor that our recent work on Spastin recognizing microtubule lattice defects was picked for the Biomedical Picture of the Day. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Biomedical Picture of the Day BPoD@bpodaily.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Enzyme spastin responds to cytoskeletal instability caused by microtubule defects as a signal to sever microtubules 📹 Cordula Reuther & Paula Santos-Otte et al @bcube-tud.bsky.social in @jcellsci.bsky.social ➡️ bpod.org.uk/archive/2026...

How can #diatoms move and turn so fast in their glass-like shells? A team at B CUBE led by Dr. Poulsen @nic-poulsen.bsky.social and Prof. Diez @stefandiezlab.bsky.social has cracked the code: they steer by shifting the contact point with the surface ⚙️ Read our news ➡️ tud.link/zc6u4q #CMCBnews

🥳 Excited to share our #diatom work out in @pnas.org. In a great collaboration with @nic-poulsen.bsky.social and @ulrichschwarz.bsky.social we show that diatoms modulate the curvature of their paths by dynamic switching of their cell–substrate contact sites. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2506122123

What a pleasure to collaborate with Laura #Schaedel and her team at @uni-saarland.de to study #microtubule damage and repair under mechanical load.

🌙 Over 2,200 visitors, 250+ volunteers, and one unforgettable Science Night at the CMCB, @tudresden.bsky.social! Huge thanks to everyone who joined us – and to our amazing volunteers! #LNDWDD #Dresden #CMCBnews

Our recent B CUBE Day brought the B CUBEes together! A guest lecture 🧠, workshops on AI 🤖, statistics 📊, and scientific storytelling 🎤, a scavenger hunt 🔍, and a barbecue 🍔 - a day full of engagement, information, and fun. ..and an annual group photo 👇

Big congratulation to @schneiderlab.bsky.social Well deserved, René!!!

René Schneider@schneiderlab.bsky.social · last yr.

I am honored to be one of four recipients of the Potsdam Graduate School's Supervisor Award 2025. Good supervision needs to be valued more highly in academia. Thank you, 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗲𝘇 and 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻, for being role models to me and others. I hope that those I supervise will carry on this spirit.
