Organization of the Yeast Seipin Complex Reveals Differential Recruitment of Regulatory Proteins
Lipid droplets (LDs) are neutral lipid storage organelles that emerge from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Their assembly occurs in ER regions enriched with seipin which, through its homooligomeric ri...

I am presenting!! Come hear about lipid droplet biogenesis and the protein that makes it all happen, seipin.

Mentors play such an important role in the career and confidence of budding scientists...

Many congratulations to Rebecca and Erik, winners of the first Dunn School Marvellous Mentor Award. Another great initiative by our student association!

Neutral Lipids restrict DNA mobility!!
1. This has important implications for DNA repair in vivo,
2. also in vitro when you measure DNA breaks using the comet assay, beware!
3. And, we provide a fast new protocol overcoming this issue 😍

Neutral lipids restrict the mobility of broken DNA molecules during comet assays
This study reveals that neutral lipids (NL), naturally present in cells, become trapped within genomic DNA as a consequence of the standard execution of the comet assay, a technique used to measure D...

In ancient Egypt, people drank low alcohol beer and wine to avoid the parasites in "raw water." The old graves, which I excavate, are full of children who died from diseases we now can vaccinate against. You are ghouls for promoting this garbage.
Untreated water enthusiasts swear by natural springs, or “raw water.” Many of them are part of the so-called health freedom movement, which opposes vaccine mandates, pasteurized milk and other government public health interventions.
‘Raw Water’ Devotees Swear by Natural Springs, Despite the Risks
Untreated water enthusiasts swear by natural springs. Their movement has parallels with raw milk drinkers and vaccine skeptics.

Tonight is the ‘lluvia de peluches’ at Real Betis. The annual tradition of stuffed toys thrown on to the pitch and collected for disadvantaged children ahead of Christmas. An estimated 15,000 toys are expected for collection.
