Our study on DFCP1 and lysosome membrane repair is live! We uncover a previously unrecognized role for omegasomes in the cellular response to lysosomal membrane damage, revealing another layer of regulation in how damaged lysosomes are repaired. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

💡New Preprint! How does a cell control which way a membrane bends? ESCRT-III has the remarkable ability to reshape membranes and drive reverse-topology fission, yet a fundamental question has remained: what determines the direction of membrane remodeling? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
