Beautiful desert views. Beautiful membrane biology. Join us for the #FASEB Phospholipids in Aging and Disease SRC in Arizona, July 26–30 2026. Registration is now open! So much better than a Lipid Droplets conference. Also, we're co-located with FASEB Lipid Droplets 😜
Phospholipids in Aging and Disease.
Explore breakthroughs in phospholipid research, membrane biology, and aging at this leading scientific conference.

Phosphoinositide flipping governs neomycin sensitivity - Nature Cell Biology
Neomycin toxicity in eukaryotic cells stems from its binding to phosphoinositides, primarily confined to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. New research reveals a complex lipid-trafficking path...

🍹 @grahamlab-vandy.bsky.social @jainbhawik.bsky.social & co report that the Neo1 P4-ATPase flips the #lipid PI4P across the #Golgi membrane to the cytosolic leaflet, preventing PI4P exposure and thereby conferring neomycin resistance. bit.ly/45tauP7
P4-ATPases control phosphoinositide membrane asymmetry and neomycin resistance - Nature Cell Biology
Jain et al. report that the Neo1 P4-ATPase flips the lipid PI4P across the Golgi membrane to the cytosolic leaflet, preventing PI4P exposure and thereby conferring neomycin resistance.

Excited to share our latest work published in @natcellbio.nature.com! We identify Neo1 as a novel phosphoinositide flippase that maintains membrane asymmetry and provides resistance to neomycin.@grahamlab-vandy.bsky.social. Check out the article and News & Views here rdcu.be/eweby rdcu.be/eweh9

As April comes to a close, we wanted to share updates for the first quarter of 2025!!
