Join us for the 2026 Glycolipid & Sphingolipid Biology Gordon Research Conference (GRC). 📍 Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco (Italy) 🗓️ March 22 - 27, 2026 Theme: "Molecular Codes of Cell Identity and Recognition" #LipidResearch #Sphingolipids #GRC2026 #ScienceConference #Lipidtime

Thrilled to see our review article "The evolutionary origins of synaptic proteins" highlighted on the cover of Nature Reviews Neuroscience 🤩. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @msarscentre.bsky.social 🧠✨🧬🌊🪼🧽

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

@knoblochlab.bsky.social we are looking forward to your presentation at #MitoCellFate in Malta! Please share this with your followers to let them know the Earlybird & Talk submission deadline is fast approaching - Monday 10 November. Register & Submit here: bit.ly/46TS4Ii

Launching celldynamicslab.com, the homepage of our new group at EPFL working on cell fragmentation, membrane and cortex mechanics, FLIM imaging, and microfluidics tools. MSc/PhD or postdocs interested in quantitative cell biology are welcome to reach out. We're also hiring a lab manager in 2026!

🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Happy to finally see The Lipid Brain Atlas out! Lipids are not boring at all so, check it out! Amazing team effort between computational and experimental work, led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with @gioelelamanno.bsky.social and @giodang.bsky.social labs. Proud to be part of it. Lipids rule!

Thanks to @snsf.ch, we are hiring two PhD students to investigate frontier topics in lipid biology using a combination of MD simulations and experiments. Preferred starting date: ASAP. Fribourg - and Switzerland - are quite nice, for both work and private life! Please spread the word!

#lipidtime alert! This preprint by Kenji Maeda (cannot find him here) & colleagues is mandatory reading by everybody with even a cursory interest in lipid biology: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

So honored to be awarded the ERC Starting Grant! I am very grateful for this support and looking forward to more exciting #lipidtime 🥳 Also, we will have positions available next year. So stay tuned!

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...

Excited to share our new @pubs.acs.org paper! We engineered cells with ~10% photolipids in the ER membrane. This enabled optical control of membrane viscosity to study its impact on ER→Golgi protein transport. @dirktrauner.bsky.social @noemijimenezrojo.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

We are hiring! If you are looking for a postdoc position and you are interested in signaling lipids and proteomics, come join us in beautiful Switzerland! More information on www.epfl.ch/labs/gr-schu...

We are proud to be a founding contributor to lipidinteractome.org, a repository developed by @tafesselab.bsky.social & Schultz lab to increase accessibility to proteomics data from multi-functionalized lipid analogs! Check out the website & preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2507.23101 #lipidtime

Hey, it's out! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Aligning Big Brains and Atlases, ABBA in short, is published in Cell Reports @cp-cellreports.bsky.social . @biancasilvalab.bsky.social's lab added an analysis pipeline on top of it (BraiAn) and did all the relevant biological work. What is it ? Short thread:

We , @lbm-epfl.bsky.social and @gisouvggoot.bsky.social #EPFL together with and tf Sean Munro and John Briggs have today released two complementary preprints on GOLPH3 mediated intra-Golgi recycling #CellBiology #MembraneTrafficking www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Really happy that my main PhD story is out! Huge thanks to everyone involved - especially @nadlerlab.bsky.social - for giving me the opportunity to work on this amazing topic.

Why are biological membranes asymmetric, with different lipids in the two bilayer leaflets? Discovered in the 70s, lipid asymmetry is linked to many cellular processes, but why the cell needs it is largely unclear. @pavelbarahtjan.bsky.social addresses this question: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🏆 Congrats to @julianedagraca.bsky.social! Former PhD student at INEM, Juliane has been awarded the 2025 Thesis Prize of the @clubexo-endo.bsky.social for her work on ER-endosome contact sites & autophagy regulation. 👏 Well done, Juliane! @membramics-lab.bsky.social

It’s incredibly hard to study lipids in biological membranes on the nanoscale. You need near-perfect information on both membrane ultrastructure and lipid density, which usually isn’t attainable. Lipid-CLEM brought to you by @mathilda95.bsky.social changes that. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

If you’re looking to explore lipid cell heterogeneity and dynamics at single-cell level from a fresh perspective, we encourage you to check out this review on single-cell lipid biology!!!
