🚨 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

Here's a thread👇
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 ...
