So excited to share our new paper out today in @nature.com - 'LASER couples damage sensing to ESCRT assembly for lysosome repair'. This was an amazing collaborative effort with Claire Goul during our time in @robzonculab.bsky.social : www.nature.com/articles/s41...

LASER couples damage sensing to ESCRT assembly for lysosome repair - Nature
ATG8 conjugation on damaged lysosomes triggers rapid assembly of a protein complex containing TFG, which directs lysosomal membrane repair by recruiting ESCRT proteins to sites of damage.

How do sperm and egg fuse? Surprisingly, we still don’t fully know… Our field has uncovered many pieces of the fertilization puzzle, but not how they fit together. We identify ✨ SPARK ✨ - a conserved sperm complex that couples sperm-egg binding to fusion. tinyurl.com/34cm4xat Read on! 🧵👇

Our ULK1–MTFR1L paper is now officially in @jcellsci.bsky.social, a good moment to reshare it. 🎉 The work identifies MTFR1L as a key coordinator of mitochondrial fission, mitophagy initiation and apoptosis. 👉 Paper: doi.org/10.1242/jcs....

A ULK1–MTFR1L feedback loop links mitochondrial fission, mitophagy and apoptosis
Summary: MTFR1L acts at mitochondrial mitophagy initiation sites, linking mitochondrial fission with autophagy by interacting with ULK1, regulating ATG13 stability, and forming a feedback loop that su...

Why do pathological protein aggregates persist in cells and how can we overcome this? In our new preprint, we show that Tau aggregates fail to initiate selective autophagy and that their autophagic degradation can be restored. #Autophagy #Tau #Proteostasis Out now 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I’m happy to share the main result of my PhD, which you can find on bioRxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... If you are interested in learning about a new way to perform DNA-PAINT multiplexing, which we call Combi-PAINT, or if you are interested in the study of mRNA conformation, keep reading! 1/10

Regulation of somatic hypermutation by higher-order chromatin structure
Schoeberl et al. employ Tri-C to unravel the higher-order chromatin architecture underpinning the co-transcriptional mutagenesis of immunoglobulin genes during antibody maturation in human B cells. They provide evidence that antibody maturation occurs within a dynamic multiway hub wherein transcription and mutation of different genes occur non-competitively.

🚨 Paper Alert! We’re starting off the year with our latest publication in @naturecellbiology.bsky.social on the role of phase separation in selective autophagy initiation! This work was a close and exciting collaboration with @wilflinglab.bsky.social 🔗 nature.com/articles/s41... Here's a thread👇
