Taa-taa ta-ta-ta-taaa! Tony in the "Tagesschau"
Germany's biggest news show. Have a look at the clip in German.
New video abstract! Microtubule nucleation through phase separation
Watch our latest video abstract, created by Amayra Hernández-Vega, describing our recent publication in Cell Reports.
Congratulations to Amayra Hernández-Vega and colleagues on their paper in Cell Reports!
In this work, we show that the protein Tau can phase separate into liquid-like droplets in vitro. These droplets can concentrate tubulin, which enables the polymerization of microtubule bundles that deform the droplets into rod-like structures.
New video abstract! Building synthetic centrosomes.
Watch our latest video abstract, created by Jeff Woodruff, describing our recent publication in Cell.
ATP as a biological hydrotrope
Congratulations to Avinash, Liliana, and colleagues on their paper in Science, in collaboration with Yamuna Krishnan from UChicago!
Advice for young group leaders
Yesterday, Tony gave the EMBO Keynote Lecture at the Young Investigators’ Meeting in Goa, India. In his lecture, titled “From zoology to physics — how to avoid staying in your comfort zone,” Tony gave advice on how to be a successful young group leader.
New! Video abstract for "Amyloid-like self-assembly of a cellular compartment"
Watch the video abstract for Boke et al 2016, “Amyloid-like self-assembly of a cellular compartment,” and see the full post about it on the Science Sketches website
Video: Interview with Tony about phase transitions and disease
Watch a video of Tony explaining phase transitions and disease on the new website "Latest Thinking," which is a video collection of researchers explaining their latest breakthroughs.
Congratulations to Oliver, Jeff, and colleagues on their paper & video abstract in Biology Open, investigating regulation of centrosome assembly
In new work published this month in Biology Open, Oliver Wueseke, David Zwicker, Jeff Woodruff, and colleagues show that PKL-1 phosphorylation of the centrosome scaffold protein SPD-5 is a key regulatory step which determines centrosome size and density.
Congratulations to Shamba on his paper in Cell on the positioning of liquid-like compartments through an RNA competition mechanism. Plus - video abstract!
In a collaboration with the group of Frank Jülicher at the MPI-PKS, Shamba Saha and colleagues have discovered that an RNA-competition mechanism is at the heart of correct P granule positioning in C. elegans.
New video on iBiology: Encouraging Innovation
In a new talk filmed for iBiology.org, Tony makes the case that funding young investigators is critical to encouraging scientific innovation
New publication plus video abstract!
Congratulations to Mark on his paper in Biology Open examining the genetic link between temperature and fertility in nematodes.
Biscuit, the group leader

Congratulations to Avinash Patel and Hyun Kate Lee on our latest Cell publication
Congratulations to Avinash Patel and Hyun Kate Lee on our latest publication in Cell, linking liquid-to-solid phase transition in cells to neurodegenerative disease. Check out the paper and video abstract!
New Two Minute Talk! Watch Maria Begasse's video abstract for her new paper
The latest addition to our "Two Minute Talk" series is also our very first video abstract for a Hyman Lab publication (Begasse et al, 2015).
New Science Sketches video on the effect of temperature on nematodes
In the latest addition to our "Science Sketches" series, postdoc Mark Leaver explains how he studies the adaptation of nematodes to habitats of different temperatures.
See the "Meeting of the Minds" documentaries of the dialogues between scientists and artists for the MitoSys project
Find out why Tony took the documentary crew to Die Gläsernen Manufaktur last year, see Lucy throughout the process of creating the incredible handblown glass Cells, watch the dialogue develop between all of the artist/scientist pairs, and witness the final products of each collaboration.
Watch Tony's talk: "What is a Discovery?"
Tony spoke as part of a summer seminar series hosted by MPI-CBG postdocs during which group leaders gave thoughtful and personal advice about how to start your own group.
More press for the Parkinson's paper
Our story on Parkinson’s and the glycolytic pathway has been picked up by several newspapers, radio and TV stations in Germany. It’s safe to say the word is out!

New Two Minute Talk! Elisabeth explains mitotic cell rounding
In the latest addition to our "Two Minute Talk" series, postdoc Elisabeth Fischer-Friedrich explains the biophysics of why and how cells become round during mitosis.
Did you miss our #eLifetakover? Catch up here!
We had so much fun taking over the @eLife twitter feed yesterday. If you missed it, you can catch back up in one fell swoop because eLife storified the day for us!
