Apicolipid Lab

We are excited to share our latest work: #toxoplasma #lipin channels the flux of host lipids between #lipid storage and membrane biogenesis for division, preventing #lipotoxicity. Superb work @sheena_dass @ParaFrap @Serenashun@IFCPAR all the team! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Big thanks to the whole team for the hard work on this one. This work wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support and guidance from my PI @SaeijlabUCDavis and amazing contributions from all co-authors: @Yifan_Wang_Toxo @ApicoLipid A great way to wrap up the year

Thrilled to share that my new paper has been published at @NatureComms @NaturePortfolio. We conducted a genome-wide CRISPR screen in Toxoplasma gondii and identified GRA38, a dense granule protein, as a key regulator of lipid homeostasis in Toxo. nature.com/articles/s4146…

@MitchQuansah @BelenPachano @ParaFrap I'll post some news about it soon!!😊

@MitchQuansah @BelenPachano @ParaFrap Congratulations Dr Quansah!! Well done and deserved!!

Congratulations Dr Mitch 🎉🎊 It was amazing to share this journey with you! @MitchQuansah @ApicoLipid @ParaFrap

@Girlpatriot1974 this is the way

Ukrainian fencer Yulia Bakastova has defeated a Russian fencer Sophia Velikaya, who also a major in the Russian army) at a tournament in Tbilisi. Velikaya was a trusted person of Putin at the 2024 "elections" in Russia and has been on Ukrainian sanctions list for her connection with the Russian army. Despite that, International Fencing Federation allowed Velikaya and 40 other Russian and Belarus athletes to participate in the world championship with a "neutral" status. Ukrainian Fencing Federation has issued a protest regarding these athletes being allowed to compete.

In @eLife: A novel SUN1-ALLAN complex coordinates segregation of the bipartite MTOC across the nuclear envelope during rapid closed mitosis in Plasmodium berghei doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…. Out today. If you are at @biomalpar then happy to show the poster on it.

What the hell is that rope connected to? Jesus?

🚨New paper out! 🚨 The apicoplast is an essential plastid retaining many crucial metabolic pathways 🦠🏭 However, bypassing all of them makes the apicoplast dispensable! nature.com/articles/s4146…

@SheinerLab Congrats, superb work and paper!!

Remember learning that #ribosomes are made of 1 large subunit RNA + 1 small subunit RNA? Well, some cells defy this rule, and the most extreme case is #Toxoplasma which makes its mitoribosome from >50 RNA pieces! Wanna know how? Read the next comments.

@Krishanpal_K Congrats and well deserved!!

Truly honoured to be selected as an EMBO Global Investigator. Grateful for this recognition and the opportunity to engage with an inspiring community. A big thank you to my current and former lab members, collaborators, funders, and well-wishers. Here is to the journey ahead!!

📣Today, ParaFrap Webinar: Cyrille BOTTE ‘Fatty acid activation as central mediators for parasite lipid fluxes’ @ParaFrap @ApicoLipid @CNRSbiologie Chairperson: Artur SCHERF @institutpasteur 🗓️Thursday, December 12, 3pm CET 🎟️ bit.ly/ParaFrapWeb

Glad to share this collaborative nice collaborative study we particitated to from @RitaTewari 's lab about the role of SUN1-ALLAN in nuclear envelope and MTOC organisations in Plasmodium #malaria.

Inauguration ✂️// Les acteurs scientifiques et les partenaires sont tous réunis ce jour pour inaugurer la plateforme GEMELI de recherche médicale au cœur du @CHU_Grenoble portée par l’@UGrenobleAlpes. Une plateforme qui dessine la médecine de demain, prédictive et personnalisée.

Proud to be @Gemeli_official . Thanks to all our partners for their constant support and for the official inauguration of the platform today
