Check out the new publication from our lab, led by the amazing @kejiali.bsky.social. Really a breakthrough for the exploration of protein-ligand interactions.
Finally out! 🤩 Check out our HT- PELSA for high throughput screening！
Happy to see our HT-PELSA paper now published in @natsmb.nature.com 🎊 Big thanks for the constructive review process! 📖Read the manuscript here (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) & check the thread for additional information ⬇️

I recently read Byung-Chul Han’s The Crisis of Narration, whose reflections on contemporary society also resonate with modern science. The shortage of new, disruptive theories in biology may stem from the dominance of data-driven research—a provocative idea worth considering.

I'm thrilled to share our new paper (Adriaenssens et al., Nat Cell Biol 2025).
This paper describes a new mechanism for the initiation of autophagosome biogenesis.
We found that this WIPI-ATG13-driven pathway is preferentially used by a group of transmembrane autophagy receptors.
