ATG16L strikes again! New findings link #lysosome stress and physiology. Alison Klein and Michael Overholtzer @mskcancercenter.bsky.social discuss new study from @thabataduque.bsky.social et al. of the Deretic group (rupress.org/jcb/article/...) in Spotlight: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

We are waiting for your abstract!!!! Just more 2 days

ATG16L1 controls mammalian vacuolar proton ATPase, say Thabata Duque (@thabataduque.bsky.social), Vojo Deretic and colleagues @unm.edu: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Really happy with this spotlight about our recent publication! Check also this spotlight on @jcb.org

You still can submit your abstract!!!!

Thank you!

@jcb.org: Duque et al show that a core membrane atg8ylation & #autophagy factor ATG16L1 controls proton V-ATPase under homeostatic conditions, ensuring normo-acidification, preservation of cellular energy charge & function, & defense against #tuberculosis in murine models rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Vaccines save lives. Leaders must champion them Attacks on vaccines and the cancellation of research into what causes vaccine hesitancy puts people in harm’s way.

We urge all leaders, for the good of their nations’ health, not to ignore or contradict advice that is supported by a consensus of evidence from research.

Screenshot of the first page of the Editorial, 'Science under siege: protecting scientific progress in turbulent times', written by James Briscoe, Craig Franklin, Daniel Gorelick. Elizabeth Patton and Michael Way. The publication information in the top line says, '© 2025. Published by The Company of Biologists | Journal of Cell Science (2025) 138, jcs263970. doi:10.1242/jcs.263970. The first paragraph of the article says, 'As Editors-in-Chief of The Company of Biologists’ journals, we have been watching with growing concern the policy changes in the United States of America (USA) and the challenges that these are creating. It is unusual for us to comment on a nation’s science policies or politics, but the rapid ongoing developments in the USA and their potential impact on research worldwide are beyond the usual.'

The Editors-in-Chief of the 5 @biologists.bsky.social journals have written a joint Editorial, discussing the enormous challenges currently facing researchers in the US and how members of the community can support them through this difficult time.

Simplicidades camufladas de salud mental y neurociencia: la receta de la autoayuda millonaria Muchas de las soluciones que proponen algunos libros obvian los problemas estructurales que están detrás de muchos padecimientos

"Rodéate de personas vitamina". "Sé tu mejor versión cada día". Psicólogos critican los mensajes que transmiten los libros de autoayuda, que mezclan conceptos científicos con eslóganes vacíos y dan supuestas soluciones sencillas a problemas complejos de salud mental

Judges suspend NIH plan to slash payments and order health agencies to restore web pages Lawsuits argued that cutting “indirect cost” rate would have “devastating” impact on research

At least temporarily staving off what many saw as a crushing blow to U.S. biomedical research, a federal judge has suspended a plan by the Trump administration to slash billions of dollars in payments from the NIH that now go to universities to cover the overhead costs of research. scim.ag/40T7g5q
