Happy to share my PhD’s final preprint! We’ve unveiled DENND6A's role as an Arl8b effector that links lysosomes to RILP-dynein via Rab34 activation, thus regulating lysosomal retrograde transport & autophagy. 🙏to my supervisor @petermc29528605 #lysosome #retrograde #autophagy

Thrilled to preprint my postdoc work in the @IoannouLab ! 🚀 Using live-cell and two-photon imaging, we reveal that Parkinson’s-linked glucosylceramide changes drive the formation and shedding of ectosomes, fueling α-synuclein spread. This pathway has broad implication in PD.

Such a cool finding! Guess that explains why my body treats every weight loss as just a temporary loan. 😀

Our new paper, in collaboration with the @KarolinaSkvaro1 group @UniKarlova @FnMotol, reveals that patients with the c.269 T>C variant in AP1S1 manifest all symptoms of MEDNIK syndrome, not just enteropathy. 📄 Read it here: https://t.co/ad1XySe1W8.

For 25 years, the Toll-like Receptor pathway was considered a series of distinct protein complexes that drive inflammation. Today, we report that the entire pathway, from receptor to transcription factor, is executed from within one complex—the myddosome.
