I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research). I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

Cell Physics community is missing Jochen Guck deeply.. He was a very kind and generous person, one of the most creative minds, and always ready to help everyone in the field.. He inspired many of us.. He will always be missed..

Get your Zoster vaccine! @naturemedicine.bsky.social A consistent relationship of VZV reactivation with dementia in 100M US adults after controlling for nearly 400 measured characteristics, with zoster vaccines reducing risk of dementia in dose-dependent manner www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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...

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...
