Dr Dorota SK @drdorotask.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Another moment of pride! 🎉 Emily Tom’s PhD work is finally published! Her work reveals a fascinating consequence of aging: plasma membrane damage increases, and lysosomes step in to repair the membrane and keep cells alive.

Dr Dorota SK @drdorotask.bsky.social · 18/08/2026It was also a nice collaboration with @francescatelese.bsky.social lab. We decided to publish something together a long time ago (10 years?) and it may finally work! 😀 120

Dr Dorota SK @drdorotask.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Congrats!! This looks like an amazing review — a huge undertaking! 🎉 The only downside of writing such a long review is that citation limits can sometimes mean citing reviews instead of the original discoveries. Hopefully, the papers behind these works continue to get the recognition they deserve.👍 030
