Happy to share the latest work from the lab @crick.ac.uk. Outstanding work from Di Chen and Tony Fearns showing the link between Mtb membrane damage, calcium leakage and ATG8/LC3 lipidation in macrophages. Congratulations Di and Tony! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis phagosome Ca2+ leakage triggers multimembrane ATG8/LC3 lipidation to restrict damage in human macrophages
Ca2+ leakage triggers LC3 lipidation on multimembrane as Mtb phagosome damage response, independent of autophagy.

First post on Bluesky! Here is our Opinion article recently published in Trends in Cell Biology: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kKdt3QxxS... Many thanks to fellow authors, it was fascinating to read all the recent literature and explore this crossover between EV and virus secretion!
