This work is the result of a shared @dfg.de grant between @walter-nickel-bzh.bsky.social and me, carried out by our joint PhD student @manpreet0700.bsky.social at @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @bzh-hd.bsky.social . A great team effort! 🙌

If our hypothesis holds, disrupting PI(4,5)P₂ asymmetry in cells should slow FGF2 translocation. To test this, @manpreet0700.bsky.social introduced PI(4,5)P₂ micelles in the media—enriching the outer leaflet and disturbing the natural asymmetry. And yes, it made a difference.
