Lipid Landscape of human cells
Eukaryotic cells synthesise thousands of lipid species, yet the principles that organise them across compartments remain unclear. Here we introduce PAP-SL, parallel (immuno)affinity purification coupl...

Effects of lipid membranes on RNA catalytic activity and stability
This study explores how lipid membranes influence the activity and stability of natural ribozymes. We found that lipid membranes can both decrease and enhance ribozyme activity. We also observed that...

New paper out 🎇 It has been 13 years since @owenlabuob.bsky.social and co. published a stellar protocol on how to measure membrane order with smart probes! Since then, there has been new dyes, imaging modes and biology! We wrote a protocol for Nature Protocols: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
