Computational biophysics and biochemistry lab at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland
Check out the 2023 #CECAM program: https://www.cecam.org/program
54 exciting workshops, schools and conferences will be held across the network between April 2023 and March 2024.
I am also organizing a workshop in Lausanne in September, here for further details: https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/1204
Very interesting #lipidtime work from the Frost and Grabe labs! Opens many exciting possibilities to investigate membrane structural properties. Congrats to all involved!
👋 Hi! For our first post we present The Year in Cell Biology 2022, a collection of outstanding articles published in the past year in Journal of Cell Biology (JCB). From liquid crystalline phasing in lipid droplets to a survey of mammalian axons by cryo-electron microscopy, this collection contains transformative research that exemplifies the impact of the JCB community. We invite you to read the articles and download a magazine with brief summaries & author insights: https://rupress.org/jcb/collection/21549/The-Year-in-Cell-Biology-2022?utm_source=mastodon

This is so cool! We know that the ER basically impacts all the other organelles in the cell.
Now Volker Haucke's lab shows that endosomes feedback on the ER to shape its morphology via #lipidetime and membrane contacts. @ScienceMagazine
Cristina Jiménez-López & me wrote a review on manipulating lipid levels on sub cellular scales with photo-caged probes - do check it out! We love these probes... but we've also tried to point out the challenges that lie ahead. There's a teaser in it what we plan 😉 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1367593122001193
Valeria's work made it to "The Year in Cell Biology - Special Collection". Does it mean I am a cell biologist now?

Distinct changes in endosomal composition promote NLRP3 inflammasome activation @NatImmunol
▶️ PI4P as a master regulator of inflammasome recruitment and activation in endosomes #lipidetime #membranecontactsites
Thrilled to share this story in JACS Au! https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.2c00419
Takeaways:
1) analogs of PC lipids w/different choline structures adopt different organelle localizations & are useful for tracing interorganelle lipid transport
2) OCT1, a liver transporter typically used to study PK/drug efflux, can also facilitate uptake of small cationic #ChemicalBiology probes, including #bioorthogonal choline analogs. Available soon @Addgene https://addgene.org/188995/
Congrats, Dylan!

Hello everyone, the Vanni lab is now on Mastodon. We are a computational biophysics and biochemistry lab at the University of Fribourg focusing on lipid metabolism (loosely defined), with a penchant for method development in molecular simulations! We don't tweet/toot very much but feel free to interact with us here!
