Happy to share our new preprint in collaboration with Natalia Jura's lab! 🧬 CNPY4 is a lipid-binding regulator of sphingolipid homeostasis 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.13.682155v1 Sphingolipids shape membranes & signaling — but how their balance is maintained is still unclear.
CNPY4 is a Lipid-Binding Regulator of Sphingolipid Homeostasis
Sphingolipids function both as signaling molecules and as organizers of cell membranes, and their dysregulation has been linked to cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegeneration. A central node in...

YOUR PHONE EXISTS because the government invested in "useless" basic research decades ago! It's the same with medical research - today's basic science leads to tomorrow's life-saving treatments. Visit FundResearch.org to tell Congress to keep funding research #SaveOurCures #PhoneForGood #FundNIH
🎉 INTRODUCING #SaveOurCures🎉 Federal biomedical research represents less than 1% of the federal budget but delivers life-saving treatments for millions of American families. 93% of cancer treatments started with American government-funded research. 🧵: 1/8
