We are a cell biology lab at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX. We study lipid droplets and the organization of metabolism in cells. For more, please see our lab website: https://labs.utsouthwestern.edu/henne-lab
Happy Halloween from the Henne lab!

Great Endoplasmic Reticulum meeting in Paris organized by the amazing Eric Chevet @ericchevet.bsky.social! It was wonderful to also hang out with James Olzmann @olzmannlab.bsky.social and Rachid Thiam @abdourachidthiam.bsky.social.

How does CLMN influence focal adhesion dynamics? We posit CLMN may regulate local Ca2+ signaling that promotes FA dynamics. CLMN KD leads to changes in ER-PM contacts and STIM1 organization, suggesting CLMN may tether ER near FAs to help Ca2+ signaling.

We find CLMN influences focal adhesion disassembly, and CLMN knockdown leads to focal adhesion accumulation and slowed cell migration.

Sub-organelle proteomics revealed calmin/CLMN, a poorly understood protein that localizes to ER tubules and enriches at mature focal adhesions.

Using CRISPR-Cas9, we endogenously fused mNeonGreen-TurboID to proteins enriched in ER tubules, sheets, and nuclear envelope. We then biotinylated and profiled protein enrichments in morphological ER subdomains.

Mark your calendars & repost! Join us for the 2026 FASEB Lipid Droplets Conference!

July 26-30, 2026 in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona.

Best of all: The FASEB Lipid Droplet meeting is co-locating with the FASEB Phospholipid meeting. Two wonderful lipid communities brought together!

Happy to announce I am serving as Director of the Lipid Metabolism & Neurodegenerative Diseases (LMND) Program at UTSW. Our goal is to stimulate collaborations bridging lipid metabolism & neurological disease.
So proud of our lab & their cell biology adventures! #onward_science

Excited to attend ASCB #CellBio2024! The Henne lab will present on a range of topics this year from molecular tethers that promote cell movement, to lipid transporters, to lipid droplets & metabolic rewiring.
Please check out our lab's talks and posters:
