Thanks to Codeχ for hosting today’s seminar! I really enjoyed presenting our recent work on TcFabp8, intracellular trafficking, Chs1-dependent cuticle formation, and nanoscale organization in Tribolium castaneum.

Some days remind you why science is so much fun. An inspiring afternoon of discussions with Prof. Subbaratnam Muthukrishnan in our lab, followed by a wonderful dinner and a very enjoyable evening. Very grateful for the visit to Siegen!

Next Wednesday (30 Sept, 12:00 CEST), I’ll be presenting our recent work in the Codeχ Seminar: How does a fatty acid-binding protein connect lipid handling to chitin synthase-dependent cuticle formation and nanoscale organization in Tribolium? codechi.de/events/

Excited to share our new preprint! 🪲 We identify TcFabp8 as a link between lipid handling, chitin synthase-dependent cuticle formation and nanoscale cuticle organization. Combining cell biology, imaging and synchrotron SAXS/WAXS.

How is chitin synthase delivered to the right place in epidermal cells? In our recent work, we identified Sec8 and Myo15 as CHS1-interacting proteins required for its proper localization and cuticular chitin biosynthesis in insects. 🪲 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hi Bluesky! I’m Marius Beck, researcher in molecular physiology at the University of Siegen. Interested in how membrane trafficking & lipid handling contribute to chitin biosynthesis and extracellular matrix organization in insects. 🪲
