The review that we wrote together with @ian263 and our MSc student Grace has been published by @J_Cell_Sci. Please read it if you are interested in Adaptations of membrane trafficking in cancer biology! @QubPGJCCR @MHLSQUB
In their #OpenAccess Review, @EvergrenEmma, @ian263 & Grace Kennedy @QubPGJCCR, @QUBelfast discuss the adaptations in major membrane trafficking pathways observed in cancer & explore the potential for treatment strategies based on this knowledge. journals.biologists.com/jcs/…

Excited to share our latest work on prostate cancer and our first on membrane contact sites. We imaged for the first time ER-mitochondria contact sites in tumour and explant tissue samples. Great collaboration with the Butler lab @LisaButler5 frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

While lipid droplets are generally known as lipid storage organelles, the primary function for lipid droplet biogenesis may be for alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress. Check out our latest review for details.

Sometimes working on basic science has implications for people’s life. Studying intracellular lipid trafficking we have stumbled upon a group of individuals affected by neurodevelopmental syndrome and bearing mutations in CERT1 jci.org/articles/view/165019

Great update on the field of LYTACs, or lysosome-targeting chimeras, and autophagy degraders.
The lysosomal degraders Inspired by PROTACs, new degraders are emerging that harness endocytosis and autophagy to send a wide array of targets to the lysosome for destruction bit.ly/3hTnPen

Thrilled to share that the PITT pathway is now online @Nature. rdcu.be/cU85m. We identified ER-lysosomal membrane contacts and subsequent lysosomal lipid transfer as an essential mechanism for rapid lysosomal repair. @PittTweet @AgingPitt @PittDeptofMed @UPMC
