How do lysosomes rapidly adapt to membrane tension to avoid bursting? In this article, @laylanassar.bsky.social and I highlight discoveries from Angela Kim, Spencer Freeman and colleagues who show a role for TMEM63A, a mechanosensitive cation channel in protecting lysosomes doi.org/10.1083/jcb....

Nature is beautiful.

Meet the capuchinbird (Perissocephalus tricolor), native to the northeastern part of South America. They're a large passerine bird with a head that resembles that of a vulture, in spite of not being closely related. But let's take a minute to talk about Capuchin friars... (📷: CuriousSpecies, IG)

Vaccines are humanity’s greatest scientific achievement.
