Reflecting on an amazing week at #iMMM2025 in Munich. This was my first iMMM conference. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience to attend with my research group, and as someone working in mycorrhizal research. 🧵 (1/4)

Excited to share that the first article of my PhD was published today in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We dive into the complex cellular biology of AM fungi and include microscopy from our lab. Cellular anatomy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: Current Biology www.cell.com/current-biol...

Cellular anatomy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Cargill et al. review the unique cellular arrangement in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that enables complex cytoplasmic flow and nutrient exchange processes across their open-pipe mycelial networks.
