Excited to share our recent paper on the Wnt signalosome www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Wnt signalosome assembly is governed by conformational flexibility of Axin and by the AP2 clathrin adaptor - Nature Communications
Gammons et al. describe how the clustering of the Wnt receptor complex in clathrin-coated locales allows Axin and GSK3 to dock at adjacent tails of the LRP6 co-receptor to assemble a signalosome that ...

ANXA11 biomolecular condensates facilitate protein-lipid phase coupling on lysosomal membranes - Nature Communications
Nixon-Abell et al. show that ANXA11 condensation on lysosomal membranes causes a coupled phase transition of the underlying lipids and mechanical stiffening of the overall ensemble involved in RNP gra...

Early bird registration discount may have passed but #WNTUK2025 is still open for standard registration and abstract submission. Still plenty of speaker/poster slots available for all career levels and areas of Wnt signalling.
Abstract deadline Feb 1st and we are just over 8 weeks from the big day!

What better way to start 2025 than signing up for the #WNTUK2025 meeting on 24th March in @ox.ac.uk sponsored by @oxfordcancer.bsky.social and @cambridgebio.bsky.social. Early bird discount rates only available until Jan 17th and abstract deadline is Feb 1st!
