Exploring life at the nanoscale

Our latest #CDlab preprint: Direct observation of independently moving replisomes in Escherichia coli https://t.co/QRWMsbMTJI Great job by Sandro Japaridze – imaging replisomes for 1 chromosome in widened bacteria, showing evidence for train track model and entropic segregation. https://t.co/Uv5ITSbimj

Nice results from Alek Aksimentiev and colleagues In @NatureNano, work that partly resulted form his sabbatical stay in our #CDlab https://t.co/8kLrW7jvnD https://t.co/HWZE246NjE

In the past we showed we can split liposomes. Now we also can grow them – even doubling them in volume – simply by putting tension on their membranes and adding small unilamellar vesicles. read about it in our latest #CDlab paper today in Small: https://t.co/4hDKj8tdJE https://t.co/IRxnAp60kE

Nice perspective in @acsnano on our #CDlab paper: https://t.co/Dnc6oknTkW https://t.co/iiA9G1bFhH

Congratulations to Paola de Magistris on her Veni grant!! 👍👌👌 Whole #CDlab celebrates with you! 👏🎉👏 https://t.co/iL7274OWc1

Congrats also to former #CDlab postdoc @sergiipud for winning a VENI grant, and to all other awardees.

Very proud that my postdoc Paola De Magistris did get a VENI granted for her project ‘The great escape’. Big congrats! https://t.co/I6DJHAUkKR Looking forward to jointly pioneer mRNA export through biomimetic nuclear pores in the upcoming years in #CDlab.

DNA gets organised by entropic forces! Great to see the nice perspective paper by Handuo Shi and KC Huang that highlights our recent #CDlab paper by @fabaiwu and our valued collaborators, as well as the complementary exciting paper by @JacobsWagnerLab https://t.co/5R6ewLPNHk https://t.co/qJCkggIuqU

Our #CDlab has a new website! Please have a look to get an overview of our research, people, images, openings, news, etc: https://t.co/UxV0WyNBwc (I am curious what people think of this new site) https://t.co/p2zs8bNOAJ

Really nice: Our #CDlab PhD student Wayne Yang won an awardfor his presentation ‘Tweezing of Individual Proteins in Plasmonic Gold Nanoapertures’ at #icmat2019 in Singapore. It was awarded to him by Nobel Laureate @sirfrasersays https://t.co/PghGdchJ7w

Congrats to Oskar Franch, postdoc at our #CDlab, for winning the Kjeld Marcker PhD Prize from Aarhus University, which is awarded only to ‘exceptional, truly outstanding candidates’. So nice. Congrats! https://t.co/TzfPTdhAfG

Here’s an annotated video of core data of our latest #CDlab preprint https://t.co/XOPvOiTzug See how condensin extrudes a DNA loop; then a 2nd condensin binds and generates a loop in a loop; and then strikingly that condensin traverses the 1st one to form a Z loop along the DNA https://t.co/5PJzoKFlu2

Preprint of our #CDlab &HaeringLab on DNA loop extrusion by SMCs https://t.co/XOPvOiTzug Many surprises here: – Loops can mutually exchange size – Condensins can pass one another! – to form totally new type of ‘Z’ loops – that may fill DNA gaps https://t.co/NJnarsnZyl

Our Yoones is DR. Kabiri now, after successfully defending his PhD thesis ‘Imaging DNA nanostructures with advanced TEM techniques’ today! Congrats! #CDlab https://t.co/msRWWW0OXh

Just finished a very nice 90’ soccer game with the #KavliWarriors #QN #BN #CDlab students and postdocs. Was fun despite the very hot weather! https://t.co/daXt0j3jRg

Ook nietdigitaal leuk, gewoon lekker op ouderwets krantenpapier – het prachtige verhaal van ⁦@mkeulemans⁩ over het werk van ons #CDlab ea over floppy #barbapapa bacteriën. https://t.co/gF0T4AFe6o

De barbapapabacteriën komen!! Heerlijk artikel in de Volkskrant: https://t.co/3ZiBr9tjaA Nav recente papers van ons #CDlab: https://t.co/8fE0vXvn8o https://t.co/vTTgcqLkMj Met ook mijn touwtjes en whiteboardkrabbels met uitleg aan @mkeulemans die het allemaal prachtig opschreef https://t.co/Ur987uWc5X

Good to see: @tudelft starts a pilot on collecting PET bottles. Late but great step into the right direction. ? Hopefully soon extended to @TNWTUDelft #BioNanoscience & #CDlab https://t.co/O4OIKlhcGh https://t.co/zuHslVDEQK

Our latest paper online at @CurrentBiology, showing that bacterial chromosome size & position scale with cell size due to crowding in the finite confinement. Great collaboration between our #CDlab and the labs of Bela Mulder, Tom Shimizu and Suckjoon Jun. https://t.co/vTTgcqLkMj https://t.co/pY9J72A2bw

First paper of my PhD in lab of @cees_dekker. https://t.co/gGDD0dC7eJ Very happy about great teamwork together with friend & colleague Federico Fanalista! Also, the excellent collaborations with labs of @MarileenD and Gijsje Koenderink were crucial. #CeesDekkerLab #CDlab https://t.co/NwhqA5lnVN
