Unraveling the GM1 Specificity of Galectin-1 Binding to Lipid Membranes
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is a galactose-binding protein involved in various cellular functions. Gal-1’s activity has been suggested to be connected to two molecular concepts, which are, however, lacking exp...

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism.

With a bit of delay, I would like to share a memory of another awesome talk held by Luca Lanzanò at the Weber Symposium. He has spoken about DNA damage and chromatin compaction studied by means of high resolution fluorescence microscopy. Great job! Proud to be part of your group.

Amazing talk by Martin Hof, my former boss and super PhD supervisor. Great scientist and wonderful person - the best combination. Super proud of him.

Let this amazing conference in Catania begin! I'm excited to step a bit outside my comfort zone and look forward to hearing all the great talks on biomembranes and bioenergetics, especially those focusing on mitochondria.

This is my hometown, Catania! One of the most magical things about the christmas season here is the unique choice it offers. You can either ski on 🌋Etna or swim in the Mediterranean sea 🏊.
How amazing is that?
