Thrilled to share our latest study, led by @reikatei.bsky.social, in @natchembio.nature.com! We began by asking a simple question—how do cells know if they have too much of a lipid in a particular membrane, and how do they respond to rectify this imbalance? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s an honor to receive the ACS Chem Biol Young Investigator Award! I’m most grateful for the contributions from all past & present lab members — it is an award for all of you as much as for me. (& also grateful to still be considered young 😅) axial.acs.org/chemical-bio... @acsbiol.bsky.social 1/2

Our latest story: a protein-protein interaction between an E3 ubiquitin ligase and an autophagy adaptor affects liquid-liquid phase separation and sequestration of a key mediator of antioxidant signaling — but not via ubiquitination! Bravo to Lin Luan and Xiaofu Cao! doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Our paper about the development of programmable antigen-gated G-protein-coupled engineered receptors (PAGERs) is published today! www.nature.com/articles/s41... PAGERs couple detection of a wide range of custom-defined antigen to a variety of output including transgene expression and cell signaling.

Could one envision a synthetic receptor technology that is fully programmable, able to detect diverse extracellular antigens – both soluble and cell-attached – and convert that recognition into a wide range of intracellular responses, from gene expression and real-time fluorescence to modulation..
