🥳 A tuneable minimal cell membrane reveals that two lipid species suffice for life: www.nature.com/articles/s41... We chemically minimized the membrane of the Minimal Cell...they survived, but with some interesting shapes, like this 'Death Star' phenotype @jcvi.bsky.social @jcv.bsky.social

Caffeine is so important in plant defense that its occurrence in at least 60 different plant species evolved independently. Instead of 1 biochemical path to coffee, there are at least 12 pathways that evolved by exaptation - reusing existing pathways for a new outcome. Have a cup of coffee!

Signaling in #archaea is poorly understood: here, we characterized a GPN loop GTPAse of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, which interacts with the PP2A. Great collaboration with Lukas Korf and Lars-Oliver Essen from the University of Marburg. Congrats to Xing! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
