A nice study showing the bridge-like lipid transfer protein ATG2A uses MOSPD3 but not other VAPs as an ER adaptor – via an FFNT motif, of course :) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
MOSPD3 mediates the ER recruitment of ATG2A to promote autophagy
ATG2A transfers glycerophospholipids from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to support expansion of the isolation membrane at ER membrane contact sites. While a role for ATG18/WIPI4 in targeting ATG2A to...

To avoid burnout, use this 30/30 rule: After 30 min of work, quit and disappear into the mountains for 30 years. Happy Friday! #buildinpublic #startuplife #hiking #mountains #nature #productivity
Data manipulation at a breathtaking scale by commercial providers of crucial research reagents. As if the few remaining lab scientists didn't face enough obstacles already.
How much of Thermo Fisher’s antibody data has been manipulated?
We’ve documented more than 100 instances of apparent data manipulation in Thermo’s catalog

I was at the 3rd Symposium on Lipids in Brain Diseases in Hasselt last week. Awesome science, full of lipids 🧬🧪
In their Review, Shalom Borst Pauwels, Jacques Neefjes and Birol Cabukusta @birolcabukusta.bsky.social discuss the emerging roles of lipid transfer protein dimerisation in defining organelle lipid landscapes and cellular fate. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
Our review on lipid transfer protein dimerizations is now published in @jcellsci.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
Emerging roles of lipid transfer protein dimerization
Summary: Dimerization of lipid transfer proteins is crucial for the localization, regulation and synchronization of lipid trafficking that defines organelle lipid landscapes and cellular fate.
