New research from the Lamaze team 🎉 mechanical stress triggers caveolae disassembly, releasing caveolin-1 scaffolds that diffuse across the plasma membrane to remotely inhibit key signalling enzymes. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @natcellbio.nature.com #CellBiology, #CellBio, #microscopy

As a historic world record has just been broken at the London marathon 🏃‍♂️, CNRS researchers explain why runners often experience a sharp drop in performance, called the "30-km wall", at the 30th kilometre, and how to counter this phenomenon.

Our newest paper is out in NCB. @jrwconway.bsky.social‬ designed a new FRET reporter, Illusia, to show the importance of integrin β1 phosphorylation dynamics in 3D invasion! Video: TNBC cells expressing Illusia with a Src (Saracatinib) or SHP2 (SHP099) inhibitor. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We've been studying mechanisms of resilience that protect lysosomes from damage and wrote a review on the topic. We consider lysosomal stress and damage on a spectrum. Please help me share as this is my first post 😀 and I don't have many followers! 🙏 Open Access: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Thrilled to share our latest publication! We describe a novel acid-dependent mechanism regulating clathrin-independent endocytosis. This study was a fantastic collaborative effort with the labs of Ludger Johannes, Roberto Weigert, and Satyajit Mayor. nature.com/articles/s4155….
