New preprint from the lab! Triglycerides act like salt on ice: they solubilize cholesterol esters and drive lipid droplet growth. The TG/CE ratio shapes both droplet size and proteome, mirroring lipoprotein organization. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

VAPA at the Inner Nuclear Membrane, impacting lamins, modulating the formation of nucleoplasmic reticulum and… affecting histone acetylation… perhaps lipids and chromatin happen to be related? 😁

Another pine pollen for #FluorescenceFriday! It seems that this year too, I still won't get tired of colour coding my microscopy 🧡💜💙💚❤️

Super-fun, absolutely WONDERFUL paper from Gohta Goshima www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Join us in Montpellier in June 2026 for the second edition of the European South Atlantic Biophysical conference #ESAB2026

I've been waiting for this Titeca et al. story from Anne-Claude Gavin's lab to come out: A systematic, comprehensive analysis of lipid transfer protein cargo selection, a truly massive undertaking. What a time to work in lipid biology. Cool stuff every few days. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📣 We are delighted to share our 2025 Highlights collection!🎇 🔍 As the new year approaches, the FEBS Journal editorial team has taken stock of the articles we published in 2025 and selected the year’s favourites. Check out the 2025 Highlights here👉 buff.ly/zQH1403 #TheFEBSJournal2025Highlights

Happy new year! I've so enjoyed the end-of-year lists of people's favorite papers from 2025, so I made a list of 16 #lipidtime studies from 2025 that I found interesting. Here they are in no particular order (please add more if you would like!), and here's to much more exciting science in 2026! 🧪

Journal of Cell Science is published by The Company of Biologists, a not-for-profit organisation that exists to benefit scientists, not shareholders. Visit booth 1232 at #CellBio2025 to find out more about how we support the community (or visit: journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/re...)

I just published: ERC-Plus: jackpot science or missed chance to fix academia? My reflections on ERC-Plus, Europe’s newest ultra-competitive research grant and what it tells us about the academic culture we’re building. medium.com/p/erc-plus-j...

More and new about the connection between lipids and genome integrity pathways… for many more to come! 🥂

20 years already… It is true it looks like long ago when we started populating those empty rooms… and making the first agar plates look as normal ones…

EXCELLENT graphic on the drain of scientific publishing! zenodo.org/records/1759...

Janaki Ammal was born 128 years ago today! A legend of botanical genetics, she studied how polyploidy plays into the resilience of agricultural crops, compiled a sprawling chromosomal atlas of plants, and fought for the preservation of India's natural legacy. tinyurl.com/2j9hxmjb #WomenInSTEM

Sharing a new in-depth review article on intrinsic lipid curvature and models of lipidome adaptation to the environment that I recently wrote with Jacob Winnikoff for Progress in Lipid Research (open access). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

After years in the making, Joe McKellar @viroscope.bsky.social’s final PhD paper is finally out today in PNAS! 🎉 🎉🎉 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Did you know that all nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are not the same? @luskinglab.bsky.social propose a new hypothesis for how nuclear mechanics may impact the compositional plasticity of NPCs with implications for tissue-specific diseases caused by NPC dysfunction. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A significant conceptual advance in the field of DNA recombination… great work by the labs of @brookscrickard1.bsky.social and Michelle Wang

Our PhD students @albamena.bsky.social & @annasjung.bsky.social wrote a thing on our ongoing efforts for understanding adipocytes & metabolism @erc.europa.eu 👇 www.europeandissemination.eu/article/fat-...

I am very happy to share that my PhD work in the Mansfeld lab (www.mansfeldlab.com) was published yesterday! 🎉 In this study, we characterized a novel redox switch on p21 that regulates proliferation: www.cell.com/molecular-ce... Huge thanks to everyone involved for making this possible 🙏@icr.ac.uk

New work from stellar scientists Jeremy Williams and Roman Camarda. Many contributors including the amazing Zena Werb and Atul Butte Work explores how breast cancer cells interact directly with adipocytes via gap junctions, leading to lipid release. @ctbatucsf.bsky.social @ucsfcancer.bsky.social

Ryosuke Seino, Kai Nishikubo and Hisanori Fukunaga interrogate cell cycle- and dose-dependent effects on mitochondrial DNA copy number variation following irradiation. #OpenAccess #ReadandPublish journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Boumard, B., Le Meur, G., Aboutine, L., Stefanutti, M., Maalouf, T., El-Hajj, M., Choi, B. J., Bauer, R., Bardin, A. J. (2025). Cell-type-specific nucleotide sharing through gap junctions impacts sensitivity to replication stress in #Drosophila. Dev Cell, www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@morielab.bsky.social proudly presents a tool to induce, in S. cerevisiae, DNA double strand breaks in a site-specific AND in a dose-dependent manner, in a very simple way: just transform two plasmids!!! It allows you to assess many aspects of DNA damage signaling & repair! doi.org/10.1111/febs...

Tardigrades tardigrades tardigrades

Reminiscent to how mitochondria can selectively extrude damaged mtDNA, locally, along with mitochondrial membranes (or through them) towards the cytoplasm… DNA-lipids interactions at play!!

🚀 Today we're launching the 'Night Science Institute', a non-for-profit organization to lead a cultural shift in science! You may say we're dreamers 😉, but we think we're not the only ones. Perhaps today you will join us to make the Day Science and Night Science parts of the process live as one!

I am happy to share our last preprint, where we identified FASN as an endogenous dsRNA-associated factor and demonstrated that its depletion triggers endodsRNA accumulation and a stronger antiviral response to exogenous dsRNAs,#RNA, #interferon,#immunometabolism www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

New preprint from @morielab.bsky.social: tardigrades are super resistant to DNA insult, yet are not immortal. We asked: why & how do they die? We have discovered their Achilles’ heel! Check it to know (spoiler: it has to do of course with DNA… but also lipids!! 😍) www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Have a nice #FluorescenceFriday! This is the tip of a fig wasp antenna with auto-fluorescence in blue and DNA in red! These insects are very very tiny
