Out now! The special issue on Molecular Mechanisms and Physiological Functions of Autophagy Journal of Molecular Biology. Dive into the latest research with 10 exciting publications 📝🔬 Edited by Graef Lab and @WilflingFlorian sciencedirect.com/journal/journa…

🥳🚨Paper Alert🚨🥳 Excited to present our latest work on #Opa1 in this newly published paper Science Advances by sofia ahola and LilliAPazurek. We present here two new mouse models with impaired Opa1 processing. 1/🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #mitochondria #mitochondrialdynamics MPI for Biology of Ageing

🚨 New paper alert from @martenssascha!🚨 We explore how transmembrane cargo receptors initiate selective autophagy. Through biochemical reconstitutions, we discover a new autophagosome biogenesis pathway with implications for therapeutic interventions. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Looking for a PhD position in 2025? 🧑‍🎓 Interested in endometriosis research? 🩸 We are looking for a computational candidate for the Pasteur-Paris University PhD program to join a fantastic international collab between my lab, Angela Goncalves and L. Doridot! Please RT!

Looking at the list of speakers, this will surely be an amazing conference! #autophagy #proteostasis If I wouldn't defend my PhD in March I'd definitely register. #phdlife

💊⚧️What exactly is gender medicine? Researchers at the #UniCologne show that there are still significant knowledge gaps in medicine for all genders. They are working to change that and provide more precise treatments for everyone. uni.koeln/86EBB👇 #Unimagazin

Last day in the lab 👩‍🔬 before I'll start writing my PhD thesis #homeoffice Hopefully all of the WB worked so I can also include them in the thesis #Phdlife #autophagy

My flight to Naples is about to depart✈️🇮🇹 looking forward to meeting other #autophagy enthusiasts and a week full of hopefully interesting talks and fruitful discussions #EMBOAutophagy24

🥳🚨Preprint Alert!🚨🥳 Excited to release this #preprint bioRxiv Cell Biology led by our postdoc Sri Srikanth Chandragiri!! We addressed the question "how #mitochondria adapt to hypoxia" and identified the AFG3L2 protease as a key player! Congratulations Sri🎉😁! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Noboru shows a 'MD simulation'. ATG9 vesicles move freely due to thermodynamic fluctuations. When they contact the OPTN droplet in the center of the screen, the ATG9 vesicles are captured and anchored to the droplet due to the wetting effect (Mizushima et al. unpublished)

🚨 Out now! Bernd Bauer and the @martens_sascha lab reveal in The EMBO Journal how the cargo receptor TAX1BP1 faciliates the switch from cargo collection to sequestration, a process crucial for aggrephagy - the cell's way of recycling aggregated proteins ♻️ ➡️ tinyurl.com/35ev5pvv

Excited to see that Thomas will give a keynote presentation at this mitochondria and metabolism focued conference in Osaka The University of Osaka, Japan!

It's official: the PhD Club has a new member 🎉 on Monday I successfully defended my PhD #PhDone & of course I couldn't be happier 🥰. Although admittedly it still hasn't really sunk in. Looking forward to a break 🧘 before starting my Postdoc in the Brüning Lab here in #Cologne
