Today I gave a short talk at the #EMBO workshop on Intracellular and organelle mechanobiology. I’m grateful to have been able to share my postdoc project and for the questions/comments! The whole workshop has been super interesting, I have taken a lot of inspiration away from the talks so far and I am excited to for the rest of the day/week.

📢 Call for speakers

We are looking for early-career researchers to speak in FocalPlane's mini-symposium run together with the popular membrane trafficking webinar series organised by Francesca Bottanelli, Fèlix Campelo and Ishier Raote.

I love the schematic diagram in this preprint which shows ER-Golgi traffic on a more realistic scale than typical schematics. #CellBiology #MembraneTrafficking https://biologists.social/@biorxiv_cellbio/112676098733322401

There's been a huge amount of progress in this #MembraneTrafficking area in the last few years. A new review by Gopaldass et al.

Assembly and fission of tubular carriers mediating protein sorting in endosomes - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology

Endosomes function as sorting stations that segregate cargo proteins into endosomal carriers, enabling their distribution to subcellular target compartments. Increasingly detailed structural insights have revealed how proteins, such as sorting nexins, assemble on endosomal membranes to form a coat that facilitates the formation and detachment of tubular carriers.

This is very cool: 8-channel imaging! First author Akaash Kumar presented this at our recent Warwick-Cambridge Cell/Dev Bio meeting and blew us away with the technology.

This preprint from the Baker lab is very cool. Shows how AP-3 complex could form vesicles using amphipathic helices from Arf1 and from two of its own subunits
