Triglyceride/Cholesterol Ester Ratio Encodes Lipid Droplet Size and Diversity https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.21.700800v1

Distinct neurons, distinct functions 🧠🟤 Our Nature Metabolism paper (now out!) shows that separate sympathetic projections to brown adipose tissue independently control thermogenesis and glucose tolerance. Congrats Daniele Neri and team 🥳 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

With so many great reviews on LDs already out, do we need another? Sarah @cohenlaboratory.bsky.social and I were approached by @natrevmcb.nature.com to do a review on LD heterogeneity and inter-organelle contacts...topics in reviews, but not a focus. Fun project! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to finally share the amazing results of our long-term collaboration with Karin Reinisch’s lab on how bridge lipid-transfer proteins (BLTPs) cooperate with partner proteins to orchestrate lipid delivery. A quick thread (1/7) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I was part of the GSO Leadership Academy in 2023 and learned a LOT! I can highly recommend to apply. Still using techniques & advices in my everyday young PI life. And the best - it comes with an amazing peer group!

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...

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... More info 👇

Registration is open for the FASEB #LipidDroplet meeting in Scottsdale, July 26-30! This is THE premier North American conference on LDs, you do not want to miss it!

Another interesting new paper showing cellular insights in caveolae mediated fatty acid uptake by Richard Lundmarks lab and @robparton.bsky.social they show caveolae -ER contact sites that might fuel fatty acids from the plasma membrane into the ER. Very exciting!

Great opportunity for a Postdoc interested in cellular high resolution imaging: amazing lab & team, amazing campus & resources! And summer times starts early in DC ☀️I can highly recommend 👇

⚡️Mitochondria make ATP, the energy that powers life. But in neurons, with axons up to a meter long, how do these tiny power plants stay functional in the right places? We went looking. 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share that as my group launches across Karolinska Institutet and the University of Helsinki, we’re recruiting postdocs and research assistants to study the nanoscale architecture of lipid flux using in-cell structural biology approaches, including cryo-ET and cryo-CLEM

Textbooks said neurons don’t burn fatty acids for energy🤔. Our study delivers the first in vivo demonstration that fatty acid oxidation in defined memory neurons fuels memory formation. Closing chapter of my PhD 🥳, out today in Nature Metabolism💥 @natmetabolism.nature.com

Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH. And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you. A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n

Ups we did it again! Please mark your calender. EMBO Workshop “Lipid Code to Life”, taking place September 7–11, 2026, in Dresden, organized by Maria Fedorova, @lipid.bsky.social, Valerie O'Donnell, @holthuislab.bsky.social and @molcellbiophys-lab.bsky.social 🥳 Retweets = lipidlove

💥I am excited to present our first research paper from the lab about caveolae lipid trafficking 🎉 Led by my fantastic PhD candidate @estherocket.bsky.social Here we looked into caveolae mediated dietary lipid uptake and how this process is mechanistically facilitated 👇 1/n

The fun leaving your body the moment you're done with the science and it's time to get it published

And the saga continues! Our collaborative work with outstanding Justin Korfhage & Thomas Melia’s lab in PNAS shows that ATG2A transfers triglycerides and does so bidirectionally! An exciting twist in our understanding of lipid transport. Definitely worth a deep read: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

In this Protocol you will find comprehensive guidance for researchers, including those with limited electron microscopy experience, on the effective use of genetically encoded, multichannel EM-capsulin reporters for both fluorescence microscopy and EM workflows. @natprot.nature.com 🧪 🔬

Very exciting Postdoc positions available 👇

Junior professor position at the University of Kaiserslautern! Our Department of Biology is seeking a colleague working with microalgae. This is a wonderful place to do wonderful science with great people! Please, repost :) Further details: jobs.rptu.de/jobposting/1...

Know the difference.

Thrilled to share our latest work showing that the bridge lipid transport protein ATG2A transfers diacylglycerol (DAG), and some TAG/PA, from the ER to LDs, thereby recruiting DGAT2 to drive local TAG synthesis, promoting LD expansion while protecting ER membranes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Myo2 adaptor Ldm1 and its receptor Ldo16 mediate actin-dependent lipid droplet motility

Fat storage in the body relies on specialized structures called lipid droplets. In a new Science study, researchers identified the microprotein adipogenin as a regulator of adipocyte lipid droplet size, revealing a key mechanism in lipid homeostasis. Learn more this week: https://scim.ag/4nFEGO7
