New pre-print from the lab! Host lipid droplets coordinate the synthesis of defensive PUFAs and become PUFA reservoirs and suppliers that mediate inflammation, bacterial phagocytosis, and elimination of microbes. Have a look www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New preprint! 🚨 We uncover a slow adaptation to stretch that links star-bundling of keratin filaments with nuclear escape from its keratin cage. Led by @tomgolde.bsky.social‬ 🙌 @IBECBarcelona www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
