The Many FACES of Lipid Research Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but it’s tough to visualize with traditional light microscopy. UC San Diego researchers have unveiled a new technology with the power to see cells in unprecedented detail.

Researchers in Itay Budin's lab, incl. William Moore, have created a tool with the power to see lipid movement inside cells in unprecedented detail. The tool uses fluorogens to illuminate certain lipids while other remain dark. Their work appears in Nature Chemical Biology. https://bit.ly/4hnDFZG

Leaflet-specific phospholipid imaging using genetically encoded proximity sensors - Nature Chemical Biology An approach combining bioorthogonal chemistry with genetically encoded fluorogen-activating proteins enables subcellular imaging of phospholipids and glycans, as well as the visualization of lipid tra...

Very excited to share new work out today in @natchembio.nature.com on a new approach - FACES - for selectively imaging of phospholipids and other biomolecules at spatial resolutions down to individual membrane leaflets (1/n) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
