One of biggest mysteries in biology: how did complex eukaryotic cells evolve from simple microbes? ~1.8 billion years ago, an archaeal cell likely merged with a bacterium to form the first eukaryotic cell, but can we ever find direct evidence of this transformative event? 🦠 🚶‍♂️

Wow! Radler et al. doi.org/10.1101/2025... These are #asgardarchaea with what? Pseudopodia? Should we call them archaepodia analogously to archaellum? Mindblowing anyway!

Caught in the act! 📸 Negative-stained TEM of the hot and acidic life of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, snapped mid-division while waving hi with its pilli. 😁 #archaeasky #microsky #archaea

Preprint alert! I’m publishing my last paper from my postdoc work on archaeal cell biology, with @mullinslab.bsky.social, @archaellum.bsky.social, @samjlord.bsky.social, @marleenvw.bsky.social, @arghya93.bsky.social, and more great folks (thread below with more details)

🚨 Preprint alert! Our new work is out now 🤩 Turns out even spherical archaeal cells have a clever way of organizing and segregating their chromosomes - using a bipolar SegAB structure! Deeply grateful to have worked with @acharlesorszag.bsky.social @samjlord.bsky.social @mullinslab.bsky.social

Asgard archaea have actin - but what about microtubules? Where do they come from? 🧐 Our new paper www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... by @xujwet.bsky.social & @florianwollweber.bsky.social, in collaboration with the Schleper & Wieczorek labs, describes tiny Asgard microtubules! #TeamTomo #ArchaeaSky 1/6

"Ants solving a geometric problem and it's amazing." This is a great example of 'emergent phenomenon': - None of the ants understand the problem they're solving. - None of them can see the whole shape. - A series of small decisions or rules add up to something with a new layer of complexity.

Last day at the @aglab-2024.bsky.social , Bose Institute, and its an emotional one- feeling sad to leave as well as excited for what lies ahead. Grateful for all the memories here and looking forward to joining the Mullins Lab at UCSF to do wonderful science with his team.. #bittersweet_moment

Hard work pays off. 😌 Huge thanks to @aglab-2024.bsky.social members @bose_institute and special mention to @archaellum.bsky.social lab members for their invaluable collaboration and insights that made this work possible. 😃 Also grateful to @EMBO for funding and making this work possible.
