Quentin Frenger @frengerquentin.bsky.social, Etienne Morel & team @membramics-lab.bsky.social find that vimentin intermediate filaments support starvation-induced autophagy initiation. Highlight: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... Article: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
Figure showing that LC3B and DFCP1 are found in proximity to ER and vimentin overlapping regions.
