Great talk from @sciezgin.bsky.social (aka komsu) at the #BiomembraneDays25 on correlating biophysical properties like packing and hydration to biomatkers for disease

@sciezgin.bsky.social will kick off the second morning session! #BiomembraneDays2025

Are the lipids associated with static protein structures there as long-lived ligands or an effect of preferential solvation? This computational-experimental framework shows the way! #lipidtime #compchem www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So flattering! Thanks @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social for this deeply meaningful award! All credit goes to my lab members and collaborators. @scilifelab.se @ki.se

Pretty sure everyone has seen it already, but if you are also late like me, here is an excellent lipidtime paper by @nadlerlab.bsky.social and Co. One step closer to understanding the spatiotemporal lipid diversity in cells!

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...

Previous preprint is now published in RSC Chemical Biology. If you are interested in plasma membrane labeling, see the paper! 👇 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Hot off the press, our latest review of RNA-lipid interactions -> The secret life of RNA and lipids: "There is no life without RNA or lipids. But could there be life with only RNA and lipids?" @tcjea.bsky.social @bcube-tud.bsky.social be-tud.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Kicking off a week of sphingolipid biology @slbiology.bsky.social with the Dresden #lipidtime crowd 🤩🔥 @fedorovalab.bsky.social and @sciezgin.bsky.social

A few GlycoDraw-related highlights of the upcoming glycowork v1.6 update (dropping in a few weeks): - our very own rendering engine (GlycoDraw for the masses, thanks to glycorender!); - SNFG-gradients; - automated Alt text; - reverse-highlighting; - even more support for highly complex sequences

New paper out! Would you like to fluorescently label the plasma membrane in live, fixed or permeabilized cells? I tested different lipid structures and labelling approaches to decide what makes a good membrane labelling probe for such imaging experiments! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Specificity in glycosylation! Have you ever wondered why some glycosyltransferases recognize glycoproteins, some glycolipids, and some both? Together with @kmikolajczyk.bsky.social and @rkaczmarekdr.bsky.social, we try to answer that complicated question. #glycotime tinyurl.com/5b6kxhp3

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...

It’s #lipidtime. The authors capture oscillations in the abundance of different phospholipid species during the yeast cell cycle, suggesting regulation and interplay of phospholipid synthesis, membrane fluidity, and metabolic efficiency during cell division www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Groundbreaking study in Cell from @leventallab.bsky.social: phospholipid asymmetry is a defining feature of the plasma membrane and cholesterol fills the holes — major implications for how this membrane works. A #lipidtime must-read! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Come and work with us OOH @oxforddpag.bsky.social: ❤️ organoids to study 1) failing hearts and 2) metabolite signalling, with @novonordisk.bsky.social and wonderful colleagues 1) Andrew Lewis & Chris Toepfer @rdmoxford.bsky.social; 2) Yimon Aye @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social. Reach out if interested!

New PI born 💥 Jan Schlegel @jan-schlegel.bsky.social is soon starting his lab in Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Germany :) So proud to see him flying to new horizons with his limitless curiosity! You want to be part of his journey? He is looking for a PhD/Postdoc 👇 lnkd.in/er5NYXGv

1/8 Exciting new work with Agu @mangiarotti.bsky.social @mpici.bsky.social ! 🚀 Our latest study explores how lipid packing and cholesterol regulate the interaction of biomolecular condensates with membranes. It turns out, it’s not just about membrane phase. Packing is the key! 🧵👇 rdcu.be/eelLq

🚨New preprint: There's this overlooked phospholipid with 3 acyl tails called NAPE that is made during ischemia. We identified its interactome & found it regulates lactate flux, suggesting metabolic functions in response to hypoxia. Congrats to Dylan Chiu! doi.org/10.26434/che... #lipidtime #chembio

New PI born 🎁 In case you are one of the few who doesn't know @pablo-carravilla.bsky.social , he is starting his lab in Bilbao! Having Pablo in the lab as postdoc was a true privilege! Vividly remembering the first time we discussed this (Fig 1a) and today when he is ready to be a leader (Fig 1b).

Shoutout to @alexeychizhik.bsky.social for producing a spectacular (back) cover image for the Advanced Materials issue in which our paper advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... will appear.

There are now 24 step-by-step guides, explaining how to create these ⬇️ data visualizations with R/ggplot2 - I hope this is a useful resource. Find them all here: joachimgoedhart.github.io/DataViz-prot...

Thanks EMBO for the support. It is a true pleasure to be part of this community. Looking forward to the next 4-years of great science and fun! www.embo.org/press-releas...
