FINALLY OUT ! After a long journey (of PhD and publication process) my paper on the role of ER-endosomes contact sites in autophagosome formation is officially out 🥳🥳 www.cell.com/cell-reports...

ER-endosome contacts generate a local environment promoting phagophore formation

Da Graça et al. identify ER-endosome contact sites as critical hubs for autophagosome biogenesis, where starvation triggers sequential endosome tethering to ER exit sites. This spatiotemporal coordina...

🎉 Congratulations to @julianedagraca.bsky.social, recipient of the 2025 Beth Levine #ThesisPrize! Her outstanding research @membramics-lab.bsky.social on the role of ER/Endosome contact sites in the regulation of #autophagy captures the award's spirit of excellence and innovation. 👏

Nature research paper: WSTF nuclear autophagy regulates chronic but not acute inflammation https://go.nature.com/45XMoOB

WSTF nuclear autophagy regulates chronic but not acute inflammation - Nature

During chronic but not acute inflammation, chromatin remodelling is influenced by nuclear autophagy through WSTF interaction with ATG8 in the nucleus, leading to WSTF nuclear export and its subsequent degradation.
