Excited to share our preprint, now available online on BioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... We uncovered the coupling of translation and secretion machineries at the #axonalER to promote local delivery of axonal transmembrane proteins (TMPs) to the plasma membrane.

POTATOMap is officially out today! (Even tho it says 2024Dec30… yeah long story😂)

Thank you to all the authors and everyone involved! I hope we have provided something useful and maybe leave a little (just a little) impact in your research.
Spatiotemporal proteomics reveals the biosynthetic lysosomal membrane protein interactome in neurons - Nature Communications
It is unclear how new lysosomal proteins are properly delivered in polarized neurons. Here, the authors developed a method combining the synchronization of protein release from the endoplasmic reticul...

The most frequently asked question we get: do #lipidtime genetically encoded lipid biosensors compete out cells’ native effector proteins?

Victoria Holmes and Morgan Ricci led a paper in JCB that answers this question:

Holmes and colleagues show that AKT activation is blocked by commonly used PIP3 biosensors, but that this can be overcome by expressing biosensors at singl

Very happy that the second paper from my postdoc
in the Zerial lab @mpicbg.bsky.social is now published in
@dev-journal.bsky.social. Together with co-first author
@lenkabelicova.bsky.social we found that apical lumen morphology influences hepatoblast differentiation. doi.org/10.1242/dev....
