Hey #ascbembo18, we see your love of membranes and phase separation... and they love you back, courtesy of Ilya Levental!! Fluorescent protein domains self-assembling on a supported lipid bilayer!

S-Palmitoylation sorts membrane cargo for anterograde transport in the Golgi buff.ly/2B3RuIZ (Developmental Cell)

Researchers report biparental inheritance of mitochondrial #DNA in 17 members of three unrelated multigeneration #families, paving the way for insights into alternative mechanisms for the treatment of inherited mitochondrial #diseases. Read more: ow.ly/uH2Q30n25O3 #mtDNA

Beautiful!!

Hey! This looks like a nice illustration of fluid flow getting significantly damped in a porous material! Similar things happen in cell membranes: imagine those trees being transmembrane proteins bound to the cytoskeleton (ground), and lipids will be water 😉

WOOOT!! #lipidtime paper accepted in Nature Communications!! That means... its time for a TWEET-STORM updated preprint: tinyurl.com/tnp55rs Lipidomic and biophysical homeostasis of mammalian membranes counters dietary lipids perturbations to maintain cellular fitness 1/6

What’s happening Twitter asks? Oh, you know, just another day on the cover of PNAS!!! So proud to share the fruits of collaborative efforts Direct Imaging of Nanodomains in Biomembranes by CryoEM pnas.org/content/117/33… A mini-tweetstorm: 1/5

If you like lipids, membranes, and fancy cryo electron microscopy, come check out Fred Heberle and I talk about our recent papers with Ilya Levental and @KayTrue on all platforms (Sarah L. Keller)!

Even better news than the vaccine! Our new review w Milka Doktorova and Jessica Symons on membrane asymmetry is out! Civilization is saved!! If you're interested in some new ideas about how living membranes might be organized, check out: rdcu.be/caRj5

Inspiring!

Amazing experience at @#bpstahoe2022! Thanks for the organizers. Looking forward to seeing our “old” friends again in next biophysical meeting Biophysical Society Go Ilya Levental!

Proud to share our latest work in Biophysical Journal authors.elsevier.com/a/1gW271SPT41la Nanodiscs are an exciting technology for studying membrane proteins in lipid bilayers. We asked whether nanodisc bilayers preserve the native properties of intact lipid membranes. And the answer is… NO! 1/2

This would be a nice reminder for always having a warm heart ❤️ for cool science! Thanks to all the cool scientists who voted for the image!

T cell (baseball park) becomes active due to the mutual interaction between the LAT condensates (players and balls) and the lipid ordered domains at the PM (corn field). How can you not be romantic about baseball and science? MLB Science Advances
