Martin Graef (@GraefLab), new assistant professor in our Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, joined CALS this spring to study how cells maintain their homeostasis and function under diverse stresses. Welcome Martin! @CornellMBG cals.cornell.edu/news/2022/0…
ALT Meet our new faculty Martin Graef, assistant professor, molecular biology and genetics. "The study of cellular homeostatis and aging has enormous therapeutic potential, but it is complicated and we need to do a lot of basic research to learn how to use it in a safe and beneficial way."

Eat less to live longer? #Autophagy degrades damaged or toxic cellular material to keep cells in good shape. We discovered how #ATG16L1 shapes phagophores. Our article was published today in @NatureSMB ! thanks to all the authors !! Check it out:

From MBoC
Temporal control of contact site formation reveals a relationship between mitochondrial division and Num1-mediated mitochondrial tethering. @LLLackner developed systems to control the formation and depletion of mitochondria-PM contact sites.

Molecular simulations, biochemistry, and cell biology come together to reveal how a crucial step in autophagy is executed. The work was made possible through a fantastic synergy between three labs, including ours, located in different continents across the world.
Congrats to Dr. Shanlin Rao @HummerLab et al. for revealing in high detail the gymnastic of the LC3 lipidation machinery as it prepares autophagic membranes for cargo engagement using MD simulations, in vitro reconstitution and cell biology science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
