Exploring life at the nanoscale
Latest #CDlab paper online: https://t.co/LNlhnljw9m In this perspective entitled “The NEOtrap – en route with a new single-molecule technique”, @sciSonja and me sketch many future directions and applications of the NEOtrap technique to trap and study a single protein. https://t.co/3KrKrTb7SF 
Probing nanomotion of single bacteria with graphene drums! Latest preprint from #CDlab in a great collaboration led by Farbod Alijani: https://t.co/mR9CPIDVzW Congrats to first authors Irek Roslon and @AleksandreJapa for a great job done https://t.co/fqFebO3V3f 
I wrote a personal ‘behind-the-paper blogpost’ about our #NEOtrap paper👇, with the aim to fight the ‘iceberg effect’ in academic publishing: https://t.co/jRqAc49HTe Maybe unusual. Curious to hear your comments. As a bonus: my original eureka-moment screenshots from #CDlab 🙂. https://t.co/W3m6IpDjGw
Thankful to @hendrik_dietz & Pierre for iterating with us through several designs, and for great discussions with @cees_dekker & the entire #CDlab #Nanoporito crew!
Our latest paper in @NatureNano: https://t.co/Diq1xqeJzs We developed a new type of single-molecule trap that can hold and study a single unlabeled protein for very long times. Superb work by @sciSonja (then a postdoc in our #CDlab, now PI at WUR), with @hendrik_dietz lab 1/ https://t.co/wwCgKtqaNL 
And here’s another #CDlab graduate who is starting her own lab as a PI! Make sure you’ll check out @DrJorine if you’re interested in live-cell chromosome biology! https://t.co/adYv21eJuI
Now on stage at @ebsa_in: @eugene_kim__, now a PI of her own group at MPI Frankfurt but today presenting her exciting postdoc work on SMC-driven DNA loops at our #CDlab https://t.co/jkYloh4UTU 
New perspective article out in @NatureComms:
Towards A Synthetic Cell Cycle! https://t.co/vbSvbNqHS6 By Lorenzo Olivi et al from John vanderOost lab & other @BaSyCresearch labs, with our #CDlab (Nicola De Franceschi & me) Read all about the challenges to build a synthetic cell. https://t.co/2nIW7tOPdc 
Can SMC proteins incorporate other DNA-bound proteins in extruded DNA loops? How do they deal with roadblocks? Read the story by postdoc Biswajit Pradhan from our #CDlab and our collaborators from the Jan-Michael Peters lab at IMP Vienna: https://t.co/zveKDE0DgX https://t.co/ybGA46PcUC 
Today we put out a preprint https://t.co/uJvpZLxXS1 where we resolve this question on how SMCs deal with obstacles bound to DNA –yielding quite some surprises! Great experiments by postdoc Biswajit Pradhan et al of our #CDlab, in collaboration with Jan-Michael Peters et al. 1/7 https://t.co/YScqfjlLbR 
Dit najaar komen er 4 nieuwe postdocs bij ons #CDlab, met heel internationale achtergrond (US, China, Estland, Italië). Er is nog ruimte voor meer nieuwe mensen, ook bv voor Nederlandse promovendi kandidaten – https://t.co/UxV0WyNBwc
New paper out today in @ACSSynBio: https://t.co/LAialMT1Bf Here, we report an optimized method for reconstituting biological systems in liposomes. Great team effort led by @KGanzinger and @gijsjekoenderi1, with contributions from @DanelonLab and our #CDlab. https://t.co/VCdxGMwqoL 
Latest preprint to which our #CDlab contributed: https://t.co/J2GpR5D4X6 https://t.co/f8jMfu26RP
Latest #CDlab paper in @acsnano: https://t.co/HkfryIyByQ Lead authors @AlessioFragasso & NicolaDeFranceschi show that we can make ultrawide (30nm) origami pores in liposomes that allow transmembrane transport of huge (250kDa) proteins. Great collaboration with @hendrik_dietz lab https://t.co/kysTRaBCpw 
Out NOW! Our latest paper in @acsnano #CDlab We make 30nm-wide DNA-origami pores that span the membrane of giant liposomes To do this we have a special trick… 😉 if you are curious, check it out: https://t.co/s5BihymSlg Cool project in collaboration with the #Dietz lab
‘Diagnosing point-of-care diagnostics for neglected tropical diseases’ Latest #CDlab paper online in @PLOSNTDs: https://t.co/UOSFtb2gOz Here, lead authors @mitashabharadw & MichelBengtson et al review point-of-care diagnostics for the many horrible neglected tropical diseases. https://t.co/eDd5jz6MzU 
Latest #CDlab paper published: https://t.co/7aL3ESxg3X Here, we review what is known about chromosome segregation in bacteria: How chromosomes mutually disentangle and move apart after they are replicated before cell division. Great write by Christos Gogou & Sandro Japaridze! https://t.co/LqXr6MVe83 
Latest paper out in @NatureMethods – an interesting overview of single-molecule protein sequencing technologies, written by a large group of scientists led by #JavierAlfaro @ChirlminJoo_Lab @MellerLab, to which our #CDlab also contributed. https://t.co/Rv4kO4GrAQ https://t.co/ZTm4TLA4Ii 
Latest #CDlab paper online in @NatureComms! https://t.co/4tqU2MmNj7 Here we show that the height of a microchamber dramatically affects in vitro Min patterns, which was key to finally understand how in vitro and in vivo patterns relate. Superb collaboration with @PhysOfLifeLMU! https://t.co/EHV2K9LVyL
