Our new review is out now – well done Ella, Sabina, Nicky and Charlotte – a great collaboration with the @mackinderlab!. From algae to plants: understanding pyrenoid based CO2-concentrating mechanisms.

Check out this insightful commentary article for an overview of our discovery of the components needed to generate thylakoid membrane traversions through pyrenoids. Many thanks to Jean-David Rochaix. Full paper here:

Want to make thylakoids traverse a pyrenoid matrix? Read here to find out how! Excited that this fantastic collaborative story is now published, congrats and a big thank you to all involved @JonikasLab, @pituvilarnadal, @JinkersonLab and Sam Zeeman’s lab.
