Life is a moment!
Love beers, T-shirts and fun things. Sometimes science. How do you make collagens in your body? It's my lifework 😎
酒まみれな毎日。なんだかんだで海外研究生活は干支をくるりと一回り。人生愉快犯なので色んな事に関わりたいですね~

Our new preprint is online📢
If you are interested in prolyl 4-hydroxylation and collagen biosynthesis, you can learn how these go in Drosoplia ‼️🪰🪰🪰
Thank sweet and excellent collaborators a lot 😎

Evidence for the major role of PH4⍺EFB in the prolyl 4-hydroxylation of Drosophila collagen IV
Collagens are fundamental components of extracellular matrices, requiring precise intracellular post-translational modifications for proper function. Among the modifications, prolyl 4-hydroxylation is...

Collagen Biosynthesis and Its Molecular Ensemble: What Remains Unexplored
Collagen embodies an intriguing paradox in protein biology. Despite being one of the most abundant protein superfamilies in vertebrates and having a seemingly simple structural organization, its biosy...

This is my first post. We are very happy to share the following preprint!

Our work introduces a novel concept that the functional state of the ERES is maintained through the autoregulated phosphorylation–dephosphorylation cycle of key scaffold proteins.

Please add your reading list! Our shiny collagen IV paper is out now😎 Enjoy beautiful red and green images! Yes, I MUST do molecular characterization of this "beauty" collagen IV... My TO-DO list is too much😅
Mao, Gould et al. introduce a novel tagged Col4a1 mouse model for studying basement membrane dynamics, which provides important details of COL4A1 turnover in cerebral vasculature & shows that Col4a1 heterozygous deletion is better tolerated than missense mutations rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Through live imaging with new tools, Wuergezhen et al. visualise the hidden dynamics of the basement membrane (BM).

We show how BM turnover & expansion coordinate with cellular movements & divisions, highlighting their active & synergistic roles in skin morphogenesis.
