We show that the protein SPG21, mutated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 21, localizes to endolysosomes via RAB7A, where it promotes mTORC1-dependent TFEB phosphorylation, reducing expression of a subset of TFEB regulated genes

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism.

Enhanced axonal transport in large vertebrates: KIF5A adaptations in giraffes and pythons Efficient axonal transport is essential for neuronal function, particularly in species with exceptionally long axons. The Kinesin-1 motor protein KIF5A plays a key role in this process, but whether an...

The glycocalyx, our cells' sugar coat, holds secrets in immunology, cancer, viral infections, and more. Visualizing its molecular architecture was impossible… until now. #glycotime #microscopy

It’s incredibly hard to study lipids in biological membranes on the nanoscale. You need near-perfect information on both membrane ultrastructure and lipid density, which usually isn’t attainable. Lipid-CLEM brought to you by @mathilda95.bsky.social changes that.

I have never seen such a red one though, quite impressive!

Love #lipids and #membranes??? Then you cannot miss these seminars tomorrow with two amazing rising ⭐️ ⭐️ @abelljonny.bsky.social @ibudin.bsky.social
