Happy our lab could contribute to this exciting story from the Thomas Becker and Nikolaus Pfanner labs! A protein #Translocase forms #LipidDroplet #Mitochondria #ContactSites via a substrate-mimicry mechanism! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Congrats!!!
Happy to share our new paper in @febsj.bsky.social! With
@ondrej-kuda.bsky.social & @fedorovalab.bsky.social we show how #LipidDroplets reshape the lipidome of PUFA-exposed cells, but can also shift function within the same cell, revealing a context-dependent role in #ferroptosis. shorturl.at/TyRl1
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 @olzmannlab.bsky.social @arrudalab.bsky.social
Sooo happy to share our new paper in @nature.com “CLCC1 promotes hepatic neutral lipid flux and nuclear pore complex assembly.” A terrific collaboration with @arrudalab.bsky.social, led by co–first authors Alyssa Mathiowetz and Emily Maymand.

🚨 We have a new preprint out! 🧪
In this paper we look at GLUT4 trafficking. This is a short explainer thread, but please read the paper!

Cells come in many shapes and sizes, with diverse physiological functions. But how do #organelles and their interaction networks remodel during #differentiation of stem cells into different cell types? Here’s what we discovered about neuronal differentiation: 1/13
Check out our newest findings on how #lysosomes are generated from #endolysosomes. Great work from @samit2104.bsky.social ! @biozentrum.unibas.ch , @unibas.ch #cellbio #cell #organelles
Ca2+ and DRP1 drive endocytic lysosome reformation at tripartite contact sites www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Structure of the adaptor protein 4 (AP-4) complex revealed! AP-4 exists in a dynamic equilibrium between closed and open conformations in solution. ARF1 does not shift this equilibrium but is required—together with cargo—for membrane recruitment. rdcu.be/e1ozM
Huge congrats to @manuelthery.bsky.social and all the Cytomorpho lab. The "Living Architectures" performance at @museeorsay.bsky.social was breathtakingly beautiful
Thanks!!
I’ll soon share a call for a postdoc at Institut Jacques Monod (Paris) on fundamental mechanisms of membrane traffic and protein/collagen secretion in health and disease. Please get in touch if interested.
New preprint from the lab! Triglycerides act like salt on ice: they solubilize cholesterol esters and drive lipid droplet growth. The TG/CE ratio shapes both droplet size and proteome, mirroring lipoprotein organization.

The work by @danialv.bsky.social is now out in @pnas.org with a few changes after peer-review. Have a look if you are interested in lipid transport by bridge lipid transfer proteins (BLTPs)...

Guillaume Pernollet shows that epithelial cells adjust their shape to locally flatten, forming scutoids for any geometry, changing our view of cell packing. Thanks to all! @clairedessalles.bsky.social @juanmagararc.bsky.social @sciencesunige.bsky.social

LLOMe has long been used to study lysosomal damage, yet how it works has remained a mystery.
Using cryo-electron tomography, we show it forms amyloid structures inside lysosomes that mechanically rupture membranes – revealing a new paradigm for lysosomal failure.

Such a pleasure to write this review on #LipidDroplet heterogeneity, dynamics and #organelle interactions with Mike @hennelab.bsky.social ! Thank you to the editorial team @natrevmcb.nature.com and to Yoni Malis for assistance with draft illustrations
Happy to finally share the amazing results of our long-term collaboration with Karin Reinisch’s lab on how bridge lipid-transfer proteins (BLTPs) cooperate with partner proteins to orchestrate lipid delivery. A quick thread (1/7)
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Thrilled to share our latest study, led by @reikatei.bsky.social, in @natchembio.nature.com! We began by asking a simple question—how do cells know if they have too much of a lipid in a particular membrane, and how do they respond to rectify this imbalance?

Happy new year! I've so enjoyed the end-of-year lists of people's favorite papers from 2025, so I made a list of 16 #lipidtime studies from 2025 that I found interesting. Here they are in no particular order (please add more if you would like!), and here's to much more exciting science in 2026! 🧪

Latest preprint from our lab reports that the distinct pH of anterograde (less acidic) and retrograde (more acidic) lysosomal vesicles in the axon depends on assembly of the V1 and V0 domains of the vacuolar H+ ATPase, mediated by the metazoan RAVE complex www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
