How do cells sense & respond to lipid imbalances? What happens when a disease-relevant enzyme is blocked? Shiying Huang investigates phosphoinositide lipids with the Balla lab & discovers an integrated cellular response that boosts alternate lipid synthesis pathways! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Are lipids actively sorted during clathrin mediated endocytosis like proteins? @mathilda95.bsky.social addresses this key open question together with our collaborators from the Honigmann and Modes labs using a new Lipid-STED workflow.

π¨New preprint: There's this overlooked phospholipid with 3 acyl tails called NAPE that is made during ischemia. We identified its interactome & found it regulates lactate flux, suggesting metabolic functions in response to hypoxia. Congrats to Dylan Chiu! doi.org/10.26434/che... #lipidtime #chembio

Do you want to present your research to a global audience?
Then you should check out, #RSCPoster, which will happen on March 4th to 5th. Very excited to chair the #ChemBio part #RSCChemBio together with Lyn Jones and Ali Tavassoli.

A long post about whatβs happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it.

@frederiksbro.bsky.social and I attempt to simplify the process, by highlighting the many similarities between various strategies and advocating for the combination of multiple ones. Have a look at the SI too, for a comprehensive overview of all strategies with representative examples!
