My esteemed colleagues will buy you a drink!

This month is Heart Month! Professor Will Fuller explains what his research is about.

Will Fuller’s research group works on cellular and molecular mechanisms that control normal physiology in the heart, and how these things stop working properly to cause disease. (1/4)

Pass it on.

Thanks Dale! I’ll be working on the Addgene submission this weekend. We will share these reagents far and wide I hope.

Massive thanks to the amazing people in my lab who contributed to this study, to collaborators who generously shared reagents, and to @thebhf.bsky.social for funding.

And using a nanobody that binds the L-type calcium channel we depalmitoylate the pore forming subunit, shifting its voltage dependence and suppressing #arrhythmias in stem cell derived myocytes.

Using tricks developed by others to control the timing of nanobody binding, we built in a way to control when a protein is #palmitoylated or #depalmitoylated. We can induce target protein #depalmitoylation within an hour

Nanobody-thioesterase chimeras to specifically target protein palmitoylation - Nature Communications Reversible palmitoylation regulates the activity and localisation of numerous proteins. Here, Kuo et al develop nanobody-based reagents to specifically target palmitoylation of individual proteins, us...

Soooo excited to share this, just published. www.nature.com/articles/s41.... It started as a crazy ‘Friday afternoon’ experiment and just… worked. And kept on working. We fused a #nanobody to a #thioesterase. This delivers the thioesterase to a target and specifically depalmitoylates this protein

Why have you changed dozens of instances of ‘alpha1C’ in our manuscript to ‘alpha1 C’? It isn’t a unit. It was right the first time.

Daybreak on the morning run 😍

Frozen hair, frozen eyebrows, frozen everything on Beinn Udlamain and Sgàirneach Mhòr today! First hill of the year. Great to be out!

A day making music in a beautiful location. Saint Seans and Strauss and an appreciative audience!

Two papers accepted in one week caps a remarkable year of success. There have been difficult and fallow years in my career. This has not been one of them and I will celebrate that! Cheers! 🎉☃️🎄

Well, this is very exciting. A welcome boost to S-acylation research in the UK. Very much looking forward to working as part of a fantastic team

A vote without a vote: the Saudi World Cup is an act of violence and disdain | Barney Ronay The shamelessness of Fifa’s process was fully on show in Zurich during a display of contempt for governance, democracy, love, hope and good sense

Give us your acclaim. Or don’t. It won’t really matter either way.

Community sense check required… Reviewer asked us to show using proteomics that our new reagent doesn’t have off target effects. In a whole cell proteome, expression of one protein (our reagent) has changed. Reviewer: now you need to look at proliferation and viability assays. Feels unreasonable?

Exciting opportunity for a really cool PhD project! www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

Lab Christmas party! 🎉 🥳

Tentsmuir beach, December sunshine 😍

We provide recordings of all lectures at the end of each block. Based on my colleagues experience this week 25 out of my class of 80+ will show up this morning. I massively value the opportunity to deliver teaching in person… but it is not particularly highly valued by the student body.

I love teaching in this space. Millions of times better than the lecture theatres I endured during undergrad days. Now I just have to hope the students turn up ready to hear about #lipidrafts
