Thank you to @martenslab.bsky.social @elias-adriaenssens.bsky.social and co-authors for having involved me in the artistic rendering of their latest story unraveling mechanistic details of #autophagy initiation by membrane organelle receptors!

The rapidly expanding role of LC3-interacting regions in #autophagy. New Perspective from Brian North, @doroteaartscience.bsky.social, Christopher Shoemaker and colleagues (Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College): rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Excited to see work led by @autophazeke.bsky.social, @minghaochen.bsky.social, Thanh Nguyen, and Ainara Claveras out in @science.org today, the culmination of a 15-year project to understand structurally how the synthesis of the critical lipid of autophagy, PI3P, is regulated. tinyurl.com/ywvjh8u4

Congrats to @autophazeke.bsky.social & co-authors from @jimhurley.bsky.social @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, lazaroulab.bsky.social @wehi-research.bsky.social, Hummer labs @maxplanck.de on their collaborative work now published in @science.org!

Great talk for a start @joulesriley.bsky.social !

😮🤩 Wow, a completely filled room at our #CellBio2024 #SciArt session! What an amazing evening with inspiring talks about creativity, education and microscopy. Huge thanks to our speakers and audience. Please reach out if you're interested in co-organizing or speaking next year!

Thank you to @mito911.bsky.social team for their support and @asapresearch.bsky.social for giving me the space and opportunity to contribute to #open #science through #art !

For me #science #communication means “Making ideas visible”. With my illustrations I hope to spark #curiosity in #science among the general public and especially the young generations!

Thank you @beatascienceart.bsky.social for the invitation to present my work and for nurturing this expanding community of artistic scientists!

The highlights at the #art #exhibition were the PD Edition @asapresearch.bsky.social , Autophagy and Mitophagy by @mito911.bsky.social and more recent collaborations with Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and @humantechnopole.bsky.social

This year #CellBio2024 @ascbiology.bsky.social held in San Diego has been extra special for me! Beyond being able to continue connecting with a fervent cell biology community in many fields, I had the honor to present my work in the Art and Science track with a talk and an art exhibition.

I could not think of a better way to celebrate ASAP CRN than through #art. This painting triptych celebrates @asapresearch.bsky.social CRN collaborative spirit and its #leadership!

After our #SciArt subgroup at #CellBio2024, join us for a very special Science Art Show & Reception, where you'll get to interact with our amazing speakers and other pioneers in this field. We are honored to feature over 30 scientists/artists in the exhibition! RSVP: beatascienceart.com/artshow2024/

🎨🖼️Looking forward to meeting the international community of artists and scientists that has been growing around this ASCB special track on art and science in the past few years! Join us in Tue Dec 17th, 5pm Room 33B.

Glad you like it Elias! Thank you!

A special thanks to
Dr. Alivernini and Dr. Di Mario @unicatt.bsky.social for having involved me in this creative adventure which has led Art&Science to be on the cover of this December Issue!

Congrats to all authors from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore “A. Gemelli” (IT); Research into Inflammatory Arthritis Centre Versus Arthritis (RACE); Newcastle University; GSK (UK); Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School,Boston; Broad Institute of MIT (USA) on the their findings!

The hypocaustum below represents the underlying blood stream from where DCs infiltrate the synovial tissue (holes in the floor and fallen mosaic pieces show connection between the two levels) determining the three conditions analysed.

On the cover: a team of archeologists unravelling the pattern of a mosaic floor in an ancient domus romana. The colorful tiles pattern represents the newly characterised composition and localization of diverse DC/T cell populations found in the synovial tissue (mosaic floor).

Authors investigate the roles of synovial tissue (ST) myeloid DCs in health and active or remission stages of rheumatoid arthritis using a combination of scRNAseq, spatial transcriptomics and DC/T cell co-cultures, and infere functional features of ST-DCs in immune tolerance and disease.

I had the pleasure of illustrating for MacDonald et al. “Synovial tissue myeloid dendritic cell subsets exhibit distinct tissue-niche localization and function in health and rheumatoid arthritis” published on the cover of @cellpress.bsky.social Immunity this month.

IRGQ-mediated autophagy in MHC class I quality control promotes tumor immune evasion IRGQ acts in the quality control of MHC class I molecules through autophagy, mediating tumor immune evasion.
