Lennartz et al. evaluate lipid enrichment in clathrin-coated pits and observe that the differential lipid partitioning into clathrin-coated pits is largely driven by the lipid asymmetry of the plasma ...

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41580-026-00978-wTight junctions form essential paracellular barriers and regulate cell polarity and tissue mechanics. This Review discusses how tight junction components assemble into strand networks, and explores tight junction function in development and disease, and emerging therapeutic strategies.

We have two exciting master thesis projects available in the lab. Please see the announcements below. Start date is flexible, but earliest September or October 2026. If you are interested, please send...

A study establishes a correlative light and electron microscopy workflow that reveals how individual lipid species distribute across nanoscale membrane domains, uncovering sphingomyelin sorting within...

Bifunctional diazirine lipids are versatile tools for mapping protein–lipid interactions and cellular localization by photo-cross-linking. Yet, the cross-linking efficiency of these probes has not bee...

MPI-CBG postdoctoral researcher joins Marine Biological Laboratory, working in the Grass Laboratory for research project.

Modern lipid biology has evolved far beyond the traditional view of lipids as simple building blocks or energy substrates. Lipids are now recognised as dynamic regulators of biological structures and…

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale.

Lennartz et al. introduce a correlative light and electron microscopy workflow, Lipid-CLEM, combining near-native lipid probes and on-section labelling via click chemistry. Lipid-CLEM quantitatively a...
