🚨 Out now! Autophagy keeps cells healthy - and when it goes wrong, diseases like Parkinson’s can emerge. @elias-adriaenssens.bsky.social (Martens lab) in @natureportfolio.nature.com Cell Biology challenge the conventional hierarchy of autophagy factors ➡️ tinyurl.com/y33nrtn2

This is cool! Pretty straight forward also.

Work-Life balance?
As recently discussed with friends (I also work with), its often not about working less, but doing more of other things. Things we love. Things that give back! The other day I got to do a long #bike ride, and it gave me so much energy!

The expanding repertoire of ESCRT functions in cell biology and disease - Nature This Review examines recently gained insights into the roles of ESCRT complexes in viral infection, immunity, cancer and neurological disease.

The ESCRT complexes are a fascinating membrane cutting machine with roles in countless cell pathways, but they are also ubiquitous in disease and offer new opportunities as drug targets. See our new review with Alyssa Coyne, Marta Miączyńska, and Harald Stenmark at tinyurl.com/yex3trem

Applications are now open! We are recruiting 20 Assistant Professors in a wide range of subject areas. We're looking for early-career researchers with strong scientific merits and future potential.

“Our brains, capable of sophisticated communication through the most complex language on Earth, are an evolutionary miracle—one that has seemingly happened just once. Why would we seek to jettison our superpower? Turning language over to machines is the equivalent of a bird clipping its own wings”

How did plants evolve how to sense oxygen? Recently unraveled in an extensive and elegant analysis by @lauradc.bsky.social @syno2xis.bsky.social ‪@n-end-rules.bsky.social‬ All land plant lineages induce glycolysis and fermentation, but the ERFVII evolved in vascular plants with roots #plantscience

Dispersed components drive temperature sensing and response in plants Plants are highly sensitive to temperature, and climate change is predicted to have negative impacts on agricultural productivity. Warming temperatures, coupled with a growing population, present a su...

I enjoyed reading this review. It puts the different known molecular modes of thermo sensing into well defined conceptual frameworks. Very useful!
And the figures are also nice 🌱🌡️

If you're waiting on a reply, a peer review, or other effort from me--please be patient. I urgently left to document a developing forest die-off event more intense than any I've seen. No obvious biotic agents, dead & dying include multiple Pinus & Juniperus, many Quercus, & shrubs. #WhatKillsTrees

Infrared imaging shows heat levels in sun-exposed leaves of Alstonia scholaris from the Australian Wet Tropics. As climate change increases temperatures and the severity of heat waves, both natural ecosystems and agricultural plants are increasingly affected by heat. Examining heat responses at cellular, genetic, physiological, and ecosystem scales, this special issue explores how plants sense and respond to high temperatures.

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat.

In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. scim.ag/44cSw3Z

We found that the Atg1 kinase complex shows a remarkable compositional plasticity, mechanistically supporting adaptive cellular homeostasis. A finding supported by the latest work of @elias-adriaenssens.bsky.social, that you should also not miss!

Got curious? Let me know what you think!

A metabolite sensor subunit of the Atg1/ULK complex regulates selective autophagy - Nature Cell Biology Gross et al. show that Atg13 and Atg17 are dispensable for pexophagy during phosphate starvation in yeast. Instead, the metabolite sensor Pho81 binds the Atg1 kinase complex via Atg11 to promote Atg11...

ATG9A vesicles are a subtype of intracellular nanovesicle Highlighted Article: Presentation of the first intracellular nanovesicle (INV) proteome, showing that a subset of INVs are ATG9A vesicles. This places ATG9A vesicles in a broader superfamily of traffi...

This is a summary of our recent @jcellsci.bsky.social paper.

If you've ever wondered why ATG9A has many and varied roles, we think it's because it is trafficked by a subset of a large, diverse family of vesicles - intracellular nanovesicles.
