We are so happy to share our latest story led by Simon Prokisch (@KirschePro): "Partitioning into ER membrane microdomains impacts autophagic protein turnover during cellular aging". nature.com/articles/s4159…

New Research: Sterol Metabolism Differentially Contributes to Maintenance and Exit of Quiescence: Nutrient starvation initiates cell cycle exit and entry into quiescence, a reversible, non-proliferative state characterized by stress… frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #celldevbio

Interesting new study from @ButtnerLab dissects how yeast nutrient exhaustion remodels sterol & other lipid metabolism. Phosphate starvation promotes rapid nucleus-vacuole junction (NVJ) expansion and LD accumulation near NVJ. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Happy to announce that our latest manuscript entitled "Sterol Metabolism Differentially Contributes to Maintenance and Exit of Quiescence" is finally online! Make sure to check it out! frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Kudos to the joint first authors Mahsa and @CPeselj and all co-authors @KirschePro, @IreneAGuerra and @_VerenaKohler (and twitter-less Filo and Lukas) for this great team effort!
