@terjejohansen.bsky.social
Professor and leader of the Autophagy Research Group at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Engaged in curiosity driven basic research into molecular mechanisms and roles of selective autophagy in cell signaling and disease mechanisms.
WSTF nuclear autophagy regulates chronic but not acute inflammation is published in Nature😀 nature.com/articles/s41...
Congratulations to all collaborating groups! Fantastic effort by first author Yu Wang! Kudos to Zixhun Dou for leading the entire project!😀

🚨 Paper Alert! We’re starting off the year with our latest publication in @naturecellbiology.bsky.social on the role of phase separation in selective autophagy initiation!
This work was a close and exciting collaboration with

Phase separation of initiation hubs on cargo is a trigger switch for selective autophagy - Nature Cell Biology
Licheva, Pflaum, Babic, Mancilla et al. show that low-affinity cargo–receptor interactions promote autophagy receptor mobility and condensation of the scaffold protein Atg11 to trigger initiation hub ...
