Structural molecular details of the endocytic adaptor protein CALM upon binding with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-containing model membranes - Communications Chemistry To selectively internalize proteins into the endosomal system, eukaryotic cells rely on clathrin adaptors such as the clathrin assembly lymphoid myeloid leukaemia protein (CALM), but details regarding...

I am pleased that this paper has finally been published!

It includes data from my PhD thesis, showing how to evaluate protein orientation upon membrane binding by employing neutron reflectometry.

It's a great work that made use of several biophysical techniques.

It has been extremely fun and interesting to take part in the 7th Workshop and School on Frontiers in Water Biophysics, in Erice (Sicily).

It was a pleasure to exchange ideas with other scientists, and it was an honour to receive the "Best Young Researcher Award".

AFM multiparametric characterization of LLPS in plants Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) plays a crucial role in cellular processes. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is notable for multiparametric imaging of LLPS condensates, enabling investigation of th...

I am happy and excited to find out that the AFM-based methodology I developed during my post-doc has been included in this trend: "AFM multiparametric characterization of LLPS in plants"
