#EMBOcontactsbiology

Thank you Katalin for supporting our EM work, we couldn't have done it without your insights!

Our study is highlighted in the Editor's Choice section of @Science 😃, pinpointing the role of wrappER-mitochondria contacts in bad cholesterol secretion and systemic lipid homeostasis. Thank you, ⭐️ Stella Hurtley ! science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

This Special Issue of #CellDeathDifferentiation brings together a set of reviews focused on human #organoids. Pioneers of the field discuss strategies to develop 3D cultures that faithfully recapitulate key features of human organs! Have a look! go.nature.com/2LoAYw1

3 PhD scholarships in cell biology available for talented and motivated students. Mentoring and supervision are absolutely fantastic. Salary is also superior. Come and join us, we'll have fun discovering exciting new things about the wrappER, and you'll start a fantastic career

Dr. Eugene Koonin, a member of National Academy of Sciences of the USA and of Russian Academy of Sciences, wrote this open letter today to the President of RAS Prof. Alexander Sergeev demanding that RAS issues an official anti-war statement in 48h, otherwise he resigns from RAS.

You can open your labs to scientists who left Ukraine due to war. Sign up here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Update: We’re creating a new program for Ukrainians who want to come to Canada temporarily. This will eliminate many of the normal visa requirements – and it’ll be the fastest and safest way to come to Canada.

In the liver cell, the wrappER (green) contains the MAM (blue), which fluxes calcium to mitochondria (red). We have PhD and postdoc positions available to discover the whys and wherefores. Join us: make great discoveries in cell biology and earn an outstanding education in 🇨🇦 !

The latest chapter of the WrappER discovery saga is out...! The expression level of Synj2bp, an outer mitochondrial membrane protein, regulates the extent of mitochondrial surface area that is wrapped by the wrappER! biologydirect.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
