New research from @jezcarlton.bsky.social and @adrianisaacs.bsky.social has uncovered how cells repair damage to their protective outer membrane – and how proteins implicated in neurodegenerative conditions are involved in this process Read more: www.kcl.ac.uk/news/neurode...

Great collaboration with @adrianisaacs.bsky.social showing coordinated role for FTD/ALS proteins CHMP2B and ANXA11 in membrane repair! Well done Catherine Heffner, Georgina Starling, Lorian Cobra Straker and Pippa Hawes! @crick.ac.uk, @ukdri.ac.uk, @kingslsm.bsky.social. www.cell.com/developmenta...

The ALS- and FTD-associated proteins annexin A11 and CHMP2B act sequentially in plasma membrane repair
Heffner et al. show that ANXA11 and CHMP2B, proteins encoded by ALS- and FTD-risk genes, are sequentially recruited to sites of plasma membrane damage. Membrane repair involves ANXA11-positive plug fo...

Now @alex-van-vliet.bsky.social from Sean Munro lab talking about the Nebra sky disc and prehistoric star maps from Stonehenge. Is he at the right conference? Yes, he is! It’s a beautiful depiction of the yeast organellar architecture! Rab binding partners and involvement in autophagy! #UKMT2024

Hope you all enjoyed the sandwiches! We’re back after lunch and Katy Yalci from @bmcarroll.bsky.social has cool data about a new lipid droplet protein and Blythe Wright from @yorkyeast.bsky.social tells us about how the VPS pathway contributes to neutropenia, using yeast as a model system! #UKMT2024

Okay, now onto membrane damage and repair! Dylan Noone (@doryenbubeck.bsky.social lab) tells us more about how CD59 inhibits the MAC to limit membrane damage, and @patrycja-kozik.bsky.social tells us about a fascinating role for endosomal permeabilisation in cross presentation of antigens! #UKMT2024

Nice try, Google-AI, but this is not a paper we published! Good luck to all students relying on Google’s AI overview for their essays/theses/papers…
