💥 New study : check out @katkajerabkova.bsky.social Katka's wizardry in the lab 🧙‍♂️ Building on the #Nanotumor consortium that we launched few years back, we now provide solid evidence that melanoma cells' inner architecture controls the progression of #melanoma to #metastasis rdcu.be/eg8EU (1/3)

Peripheral positioning of lysosomes supports melanoma aggressiveness

Nature Communications - The function and position of organelles are pivotal for tumor cell dissemination. Here the authors use melanoma patient samples and animal models to show that peripheral...

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...

Cell membranes sustain phospholipid imbalance via cholesterol asymmetry

This work challenges a major assumption in cell biology by showing that lipid bilayers can have drastically different phospholipid abundances between their two leaflets. This lipid abundance asymmetry...

#CellPlasticity—the ability of cells to change their identity—is vital for tissue growth and repair. But when it goes unchecked, it can fuel #cancer. Our latest study examines how to block #LiverCancer by actively suppressing plasticity. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #CancerBiology
