Lipid Code to Life Modern lipid biology has evolved far beyond the traditional view of lipids as simple building blocks or energy substrates. Lipids are now recognised as dynamic regulators of biological structures and…

Really superbe article! We need more of these and if you are interested in more lipid stories join us here meetings.embo.org/event/26-lip...

"James' brain seemed to have had a little short-circuit when I asked him what kind of scientist he is." YES that our beloved #lipidlove @jamessaenz.bsky.social . Great interview and even better a fun old picture of him. I have a lot more, just in case πŸ˜‚

The origin of life wasn't fat-free James SΓ‘enz studies how fatty molecules might have helped life get started

Lipids are kind of the ignored middle children of origins of life research. It's time they got a bit of attention, too!

This week's post is a Q&A with geoscientist-turned-??? (interdisciplinary folks know the struggle) @jamessaenz.bsky.social about why there's no cutting the fat from origins. πŸ§ͺ

Just came again across the beautiful vesicle preparation and electron microscopy paper by J. L. Rubenstein and colleagues. It's amazing how easy and effective a good protocol can be! @jcb.org will always be a fantastic journal.

Dear Drosophila aficionados, such as fly god like@giorgio.gilest.ro and friends,
I need your help. Is there any software tool (MacOs) that can quantify and track in a movie how many flies are on or at the red dot in the middle of each well, and how long they spend there? I am asking for a friend :)

Super nice Yamuna and team, congratulations from Dresden. Protons + Lipids/Nucleotides -> Gradients. Would be interesting to see whether the hot spots correlate direclty with proton flux across the bilayer.

Without directionality no stable gradients. Anyway, super exiting systems and problems to solve for many #lipidlove friends.

I'm not talking about OSBPs. There is data and ideas for these by some of the most amazing colleagues. Reconstitution of gradients still fails but I am sure it will be there. Proteins like VPS13, which build channels between membranes, are super exciting, but how is directionality controlled?
