We've been studying mechanisms of resilience that protect lysosomes from damage and wrote a review on the topic. We consider lysosomal stress and damage on a spectrum. Please help me share as this is my first post 😀 and I don't have many followers! 🙏 Open Access: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Our study on how loss of the adaptor protein complex, AP-4, affects amyloid plaque pathology is now out!

Confessions of an Early-Career Group Leader

Behold the new leader, just starting their reign,
With excitement to spare and a touch of champagne.
I've got dreams and ideas, and a budget so lean,
I’m a captain at sea with no map to be seen.

“Behind the Paper” commentary on our recent publication demonstrating regulation of Golgi PI4P and downstream processes by a SYS1–ARFRP1–ARL5–ARMH3–PI4KB axis go.nature.com/4fKotEg

Our paper is out just in time for #EM_Monday! It is about a specialized neuron-specific ER, called the spine apparatus, which is found close to synapses and has a very peculiar shape. If you think neurons are special, the spine apparatus is their🦄 horn! But how does it form?!

Hello folks!
I'm looking for recommendations for antibodies against ER exit site and ERGIC proteins that work for immunofluorescence in mouse fibroblasts.
Bonus internet points and gratitude for anyone who recommends a nice antibody for TANGO1.
