Richard's review on controlling non-membrane-bound organelles is out
The review discusses energetically favourable interactions that could drive condensation, and on the basis of that, make qualitative predictions about how cells may control compartmentalization by condensates.
Edgar is giving a talk at the CSHL meeting Protein Homeostasis in Health and Disease
The Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Protein Homeostasis is taking place from April 17th-21th and Edgar will speak about how Molecular chaperones control the physical state of membrane-less compartments.
Congratulations to Stephanie for her successful collaboration with the Zerial lab!
By investigating mitochondrial-endosomal contact sites we made the surprising observation that the small GTPase Rab5 translocates from early endosomes to mitochondria upon oxidative stress.
Congratulations to Sina and Adam for their fellowships!
Sina and Adam received both each an EMBO postdoc fellowship as well as a Marie Curie postdoc fellowship. This is a great success for both of them but as well for the lab. And yes, of course we celebrated it…
ASAPbio cenference: Transparency, Recognition, and Innovation in Peer Review in the Life Sciences
Tony will be part of the ASAPbio conference on Transparency, Recognition and Innovation in Peer Review in the Life Sciences taking place February 7th to 9th at the HHMI headquarters in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Several aspects of peer review will be discussed in the meeting and importantly, you can follow the conference by live video streaming.
Congratulations to Titus and coworkers for his Science paper
Prions are self-propagating protein aggregates that can be transmitted between cells. The aggregates are associated with human diseases. Indeed, pathological prions cause mad cow disease and in humans Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
