4/ With @MessensLab and @juliamalopueyo, we used negative stain EM to visualise heterooligomers and show that heterooligomerisation strongly affects dimer-decamer equilbrium.
1/ We are excited to share our latest work, showing that heterooligomerisation drives structural plasticity of Prx1-type peroxiredoxins. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… This was another fantastic collaboration with; the Deponte Lab and @MessensLab.
Our new paper is online! We have a nice tool to assess glycolysis in cells. Fantastic work of @Israelhabanero and collaboration with @MessensLab! Tracking fructose 1,6-bisphosphate dynamics in liver cancer cells using a fluorescent biosensor: iScience cell.com/iscience/fullt…
Looking forward to start a PhD program in biological sciences? There is a PhD position open at the Messens Lab, VUB-VIB🎓In this project, you will work on the design and application of a fluorescent protein-based biosensor in neurodegenerative diseases🧪🔬 jobs.vib.be/j/73328/phd-st…
Congratulations Dr. Caccamo🎓We are happy to announce that our colleague Anna Caccamo successfully defended her PhD thesis bringing us one step closer to fully understand APX2 function in photosynthesis🌱🔬Thank you Anna for your amazing work and best of luck in your next steps✨
🔬💡 Unveiling Hyper's hidden powers! Beyond just tracking H2O2 levels, our collaboration with Olga Lyublinskaya's lab reveals its knack for determining the reductive power of cellular compartments. Science never ceases to amaze! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Last Friday, the Brussels Center for Redox Biology celebrated its 14th Fall Symposium! Our team members Daria and Israel presented their biosensor breakthroughs👩🔬👨🔬in snowy Brussels❄️❄️ Thanks to the organizers for crafting such an exciting day! #redox #biosensors #communication
