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

#LivingArchitectures We put cells and cytoskeleton filaments on the architecture of the musée d'Orsay. www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/agenda/ev... Scientists of the #CytoMorphoLab adapted their protocols to illustrate the questions that keep them awake at night. -> Two shows on the 24th and 25th of January.

Ithaca is gorge-ous! Thank you @fromme-lab.bsky.social, @jeremybaskin.bsky.social and colleagues for a very fun and stimulating visit to the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology at Cornell!

Happy Halloween from the creative minds of CBP grad students and scientists!!

It was great to finish off #UNCResearchWeek by seeing Sherry Hsu’s beautiful image on display in Bondurant Hall! 🔬🔬🔬

Here's the link to the system, try it! qedscience.com @qedscience.bsky.social

It’s clear we need alternatives or at least ways to improve the situation. So, together with a really special and talented team we worked to develop this idea into “qed” a platform where you can get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on your own work or CRITICALLY assess other people’s papers.

Looking forward to #UNCResearchWeek! I'll be presenting my lab's work on #organelles in physiology and neurodegenerative disease on Monday, October 20

Genuinely thrilled to share our new story with the world - an amazing collaboration with @profsharona.bsky.social and Bill Zagotta using their innovative FRET technique to study mitofusin conformational changes. Huge credit to Sophie Hurwitz for tackling this project. urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

Time for a thread!🧵 How different is the molecular organization of thylakoids in “higher” plants🌱? To find out, we teamed up with @profmattjohnson.bsky.social to dive into spinach chloroplasts with #CryoET ❄️🔬. Curious? ..Read on! #TeamTomo #PlantScience 🧪 🧶🧬 🌾 elifesciences.org/articles/105... 1/🧵

This is going to be a very exciting meeting!! 🔬🧫🌈

Registration is open for our Imaging Cell Dynamics meeting. Organised by @franbottanelli.bsky.social, @guijacquemet.bsky.social, @drmichaelway.bsky.social & Giulia Zanetti, the meeting will focus on the interface between cell biology and imaging. For more info: www.biologists.com/meetings/jcs...

A pleasure to write this short review on lipid droplets for @jcb.org together with Will Prinz and amazing artist Emma Reynolds! We discuss 5 pervasive questions surrounding these remarkable little lipid organelles. doi.org/10.1083/jcb....

new preprint from @iostephens.bsky.social describes the potential benefits of increasing lipid turnover in microglia by eliminating PLIN2 from their surface

Tour de force from @nadlerlab.bsky.social . The value of solving a hard problem with beautiful chemistry: insights that upend conventional thinking re: lipid transport. You’ve got to read the thread, I’m not giving away the juice! It’s fantastic! Congrats 🎈🎊🍾🎉
