Excited to share our new paper: 'LASER couples damage sensing to ESCRT assembly for lysosome repair.' Congrats to dream team @clairegoul and @aakritijain24 for uncovering a new lysosome repair pathway and its connection to neurodegeneration. bit.ly/49FCPoq

New preprint from our team @chiluncellbio : OPA1 doesn’t just regulate mitochondrial fusion — a subpopulation localizes to lipid droplets and actively controls fatty acid release.

Updated preprint! Here, we identify an SREBP-dependent fatty acid sensing metabolic switch in Drosophila, enabling dramatic metabolic rewiring within adipose tissue that boosts carbohydrate metabolism in the absence of fat.

1/3 Thrilled to see our paper led by Kirandeep Deol is out! We used CRISPR screens to uncover regulators of the ferroptosis suppressor FSP1. key discovery: vitamin B2 metabolism stabilizes FSP1 via FAD, revealing a new way vitamins regulate ferroptosis.

Excited to share our new paper in @FEBSJournal! With @OndrejKuda & @FedorovaLab we show how LDs reshape the lipidome of PUFA-exposed cells & shift function within the same cell, revealing a context-dependent role in ferroptosis. Congrats Ana & @Lejaperne! shorturl.at/TyRl1

Happy to see some of our work on #lipiddroplets and #ferroptosis finally out! We reveal opposing roles for LDs in ferroptosis - protection vs. sensitization - balancing membrane and mitochondrial homeostasis with LD-localized lipid oxidation. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We isolated and omics analyzed lipid droplets from human carotid artery plaques. Enrichment (16.5%) of arachidonic acid in cholesteryl ester indicates that the plaque is an inflammatory core. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We built upon a key discovery made by @KivancBirsoy and unveiled additional mechanisms for regulating lipid synthesis. CHP1 promotes lipid droplet growth and regulates the localization of key enzymes for triacylglycerol synthesis | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…
