VPS13C/PARK23 initiates lipid transfer and membrane remodeling for efficient lysosomal repair
Perturbations in lysosome integrity are tightly linked to neurological disorders and ageing, but the underlying pathogenic mechanisms are incompletely understood. Using an unbiased proteomic approach,...

Lipid imaging on the cover of @nature.com! Great times for lipid cell biology indeed. And a fantastic recognition of all the hard work by the team, especially Juan M. Iglesias-Artola and Kristin Böhlig (who made the cover). Link to article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to finally see The Lipid Brain Atlas out! Lipids are not boring at all so, check it out!
Amazing team effort between computational and experimental work, led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with @gioelelamanno.bsky.social and @giodang.bsky.social labs. Proud to be part of it.
Lipids rule!
🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

So deserved!!!
I am deeply honoured to have been recognized by the European Research Council with a #StartingGrant. @erc.europa.eu

With this support, my team and I will launch #MOVIOLA. Our goal is to understand how human neural progenitors decide their fate during brain development.

Congrats Milena… I wish I was there with you when this was announced….
So honored to be awarded the ERC Starting Grant! I am very grateful for this support and looking forward to more exciting #lipidtime 🥳
Also, we will have positions available next year. So stay tuned!
📣 The ERC Starting Grant call results are out!

Find out which early-career researchers will receive funding this year, what they will be investigating, where they will be based... plus lots of other #ERCStG facts & figures for 2025!

Happy to share our work on uMAIA, a framework for building metabolomic atlases from mass spectrometry imaging.
With uMAIA, we mapped the lipidome of zebrafish development, uncovering spatially organized metabolic programs .

This is very interesting
In today’s asymmetry news…
Why are biological membranes asymmetric, with different lipids in the two bilayer leaflets? Discovered in the 70s, lipid asymmetry is linked to many cellular processes, but why the cell needs it is largely unclear. @pavelbarahtjan.bsky.social addresses this question: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wow
Thrilled to share LUNA🌕 – our new generative AI model that reassembles tissue structures from dissociated cells! LUNA learns spatial priors over existing spatially resolved datasets with the aim to predict cell locations de novo.
