How do #membranes transform during #autophagy? Check out our new preprint on BioRxiv! Spearheaded by Anna Bieber and Cristina Capitanio. Amazing collaboration with Brenda Schulman, Wolfgang Baumeister, Gerhard Hummer Hummer Lab, and Philipp Erdmann Philipp S. Erdmann biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our work on yeast autophagy biogenesis is out in PNAS: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… In this study we present the membrane ultrastructure of #phagophores, their biophysical properties and the contact sites involved in their biogenesis, spearheaded by Cristina Capitanio and @Anna_bieber_ab.

Glad to finally share our manuscript on “Serial Lift-Out” by the amazing twitterless Oda Schiøtz, Jürgen Plitzko, Christoph Kaiser , and myself. Doing multiple sections from single lift outs showing beautiful C. elegans ultrastructure 🤯 I could watch it all day 🤩How did we get there?

We have a new review from Cristina Capitanio, Anna Bieber & Florian Wilfling (Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, München) on how membrane contact sites shape phagophores. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/25… They explain how this aspect of #autophagy is understood in increasing detail thru cryo-CLEM/ET reconstructions.
