Preprint from our lab is out! We identified a new regulator of peroxisome hitchhiking on early endosomes - acyl-coA binding protein AcbdA - that localizes to peroxisomes and regulates membrane contact site formation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cells secrete proteins that cannot enter the ER–Golgi secretory pathway. Curwin, Kurokawa et al show that Golgi membranes are recycled to create new compartments that lack Golgi-specific glycosyltransferases & function to collect & sort cargo for secretion hubs.la/Q038Ny920

Stomata form alignments in many species, we do not know how. So, we forced a lot of cells to differentiate into stomata, and we watched them dividing, with modeling, and mechanical perturbations, we concluded that they were aligned by mechanical stress derived from growth

ICAR 2025 abstract submission is open! Me and Ruixi Li are organising a session on endomembranes, cytoskeleton and membraneless condensates. Abstracts relating to any or all of these three areas welcome!

Dear plant friends, what flowers have the coolest patterns on their petals? I will start: Saxifraga rotundifolia

I'm a PhD student at @UniofOxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-) Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!
