What an honor to see my PhD work as part of The Year in Cell Biology 2023 collection! Journal of Cell Biology rupress.org/jcb/article/22… rupress.org/DocumentLibrar… Thank you to my PI Agostinis Lab, Blanca Felipe-Abrio and all the collaborators!


.Maria Livia Sassano et al Agostinis Lab reveal that PERK promotes lipid trafficking at the ER–mitochondria contact sites thru a non-conventional, unfolded protein response-independent, mechanism bit.ly/3IqNsNx In the Year in Cell Biology bit.ly/46vsYNn #Cellbio2023


Details revealed of the interaction between #endoplasmicreticulum & #mitochondria – malfunction of which causes many disorders. Video still & research by Maria Livia Sassano et al Agostinis Lab KU Leuven in Journal of Cell Biology. On bpod.org.uk/archive/2023/1… find links there & 12 yrs BPoD archive


Just before holidays, we had the Chistmas party! Following three guidelines: wear sparkling/drink well/dance well, we had a lot of fun!! The ScorranoLab


Proud to share our latest work, published in J Cell Science where we investigate the interactome of the core autophagy protein ATG9A, and characterize a new interaction with the lipid transport protein VPS13A. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/do… #Autophagy #Lipidtransport #Membranetrafficking

We said a bittersweet goodbye to our talented CDRT postdoc, Dr. Diede Houbaert Diede Houbaert, who will start a new journey. Thank you Diede you have been an amazing collaborator and a pillar of our group, we will miss you!!! we wish you all the best!🫶


Very happy to share our #preprint revealing the early events triggered by ferroptosis at the ER-mitochondria contact sites, apical orchestrators of lethal lipid peroxidation driving ferroptosis. Thx to Agostinis Lab and all our collaborators! The ScorranoLab Geert Bultynck 🇺🇦 #KaganLab

Proud and honored to see our work in this special collection on "organelle-hugging sites" together with other amazing works Agostinis Lab Journal of Cell Biology #ER#mitochondria#contactsites

Many congratulations to our postdoc Julie Bonnereau for winning the The EMBO Journal poster prize at #MRS2024 🥳👏🏻
