How does a cell remodel the ER membrane into a lipid droplet? Excited to share our new preprint. We find that regulated opening of the seipin ring defines a functional ER–lipid droplet interface — and identify SMLR1 as a regulator of this transition. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

@VeijoS Congratulations Veijo!!!! 🥳

A new review from the lab on #LipidDroplet heterogeneity in Current Opinion in Cell Biology. Big thanks to Philippe Chavrier and Chris Fromme for organizing an exciting #Membrane Trafficking special issue! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Please re-post! Time is almost up to register for the 2026 FASEB Lipid Droplet Meeting. Abstracts are due May 31, 2026. See link below, and join us for an amazing SRC lipid meeting July 26-30! #LipidSRC events.faseb.org/event/Lipid-Dr…

Summer is approaching & so is the 2026 Lipid Droplets: From Mechanisms to Disease FASEB SRC (July 26-30 in Scottsdale, AZ)! Interested in lipids? Join this amazing summer research conference! Abstracts due May 31, Early registration June 14. events.faseb.org/event/Lipid-Dr…

Congrats to @MariaBohnert lab PhD student Pascal Höhne for winning a poster prize at the 77th Mosbacher Kolloquium!!! @GBM_eV

Maya Schuldiner has won the Otto Warburg Medal for her work on #ContactSites!!!! Fantastic time at the 77th Mosbacher Kolloquium, outstanding science and an emotional family reunion of Schuldigang alumni and their labs. Thanks to the organizers and @GBM_eV for an amazing meeting!

@PoratShliomLab @NatMetabolism Congratulations Natalie!!

🚨 New paper out in @NatMetabolism! Chapter 2 of our mitochondria zonation story (following our 2024 Nature Communications work). We asked how zonated liver mitochondria adapt when lipid flux surges. 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4225…

Happy our lab could contribute to this exciting story from the Thomas Becker and Nikolaus Pfanner labs! A protein #Translocase forms #LipidDroplet #Mitochondria #ContactSites via a substrate-mimicry mechanism! nature.com/articles/s4155…

1/ Thrilled to share our new paper in @Nature: “CLCC1 promotes hepatic neutral lipid flux and nuclear pore complex assembly.” From our lab together with @apsarruda, led by co–first authors @alymathiowetz and @EmilyMeymand. 🥳 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Join us tomorrow at noon for #MembraneTrafficking and #ExtracellularVesicles! @DGZ_info

I'm delighted to present TWO new preprints from my lab, led by @MC_Zanellati and @ChihHsuanHsu1, about how #organelles remodel throughout #NeuronalDifferentiation. Check out the tweetorials about their papers below:

Interested in lipids? Join us @ the 2026 FASEB Lipid Droplet: From Mechanisms to Disease Conference (July 26-30, Scottsdale, AZ). Registration is open! events.faseb.org/event/Lipid-Dr… We are co-locating with the FASEB Phospholipids SRC! Register for one to enjoy BOTH meetings!

Very happy to see my corresponding author paper out in MBoC (@ASCBiology). Here we explore the organisation of the yeast seipin complex across lipid droplet formation and find interesting aspects of protein recruitment and wiring to nutrient availability. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb…

Marie Hugenroth @MarieHugenroth, Maria Bohnert @MariaBohnert and colleagues interrogate the role of Pex31 in metabolic adaptation of the nucleus–vacuole junction. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13… #OpenAccess #ReadandPublish

1/ New preprint out! We show that PROTAC-induced ubiquitination can bypass canonical ERAD to degrade ER membrane proteins. Wonderful collaboration w/ @DanNomura and huge credit to grad student superstar Sydney Tomlinson! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
