Congrats to Volker Haucke, Director at the Leibniz-FMP on being awarded the Ernst Schering Prize 2025 for his pioneering work on the function of signaling lipids that control how cells respond to hormones, nutrients and messengers.
Very pleased to finally see this story from my post doc with Bart Vanhaesebroeck out in PNAS - quite a few surprises when modelling drug-like inactivation of PI3K-C2alpha in mice! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Inactivation of PI3K-C2α deregulates cell death pathways and sensitizes to endotoxic shock | PNAS
The organismal roles of the class II PI3K isoform PI3K-C2α remain poorly understood. Recent studies have found PI3K-C2α to promote arterial thrombo...
