Out in @NatureComms our fine collaboration with @Rachid_Thiam and Ilpo Vattulainen on how cholesterol esters form supercooled lipid
droplets whose nucleation is facilitated by

Out in @CR_AACR our study showing that in operable #PancreaticCancer, regions distant from malignant cells already display proteomic changes related to lipid metabolism that affect prognosis and may be pharmacologically targeted.

Are you curious about the function of DFCP1 in autophagy? Have a look at our latest preprint - we find that it is an ATPase involved in selective autophagy! @kschink @harald_stenmark @TerjeJohansen17 @VeijoS @CanCell_UiO @IkonenLab @tankiawee biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Delighted to share our mini review by Prof. Ikonen and me @IkonenLab on intracellular cholesterol flow between membranes. The mesmerizing lipid cholesterol is so well known, but its behavior still remains largely unknown. @Dev_Cell. authors.elsevier.com/c/1d4xe…
