@Kasparas_lab Very impressive work. I really enjoyed reading them. Congrats!

Two new papers from us and collaborators reveal how the Batten disease protein CLN8 catalyses a key step in BMP synthesis:

Thanks to @CunqiYeLab for a great summary and for putting our findings in context!

Why on renal research? This was driven by my co-appointment at a Kidney Center, where I was required to align my work with clinical needs. Having recently transitioned to a Women's Hospital, I am now beginning some new relevant projects. But my base is still yeast and lipids, 😝

⁦Excited to share our latest research recently published in Communications Biology! This project marks a significant milestone for me, as it is my first study conducted entirely using mouse models complemented by clinical data. #metabolism #kidney #AKI https://t.co/lDjQqMxPbh

A huge thank you to Dr. Xiaofeng Peng. Her dedication was the driving force behind the project. It has been a truly fulfilling journey. A final thought for everyone: be mindful of your diet—high methionine intake may not be ideal for kidney health under certain stress conditions!

@TheBaiLab 嗯 行程定了告诉我 我来安排一下🙂

Excited to share our latest discovery in Cell Reports! We've uncovered a fascinating new subcellular structure in stressed budding yeast: a "subcellular bearing."

@TheBaiLab Thanks Hua. I agree. We changed journals from Dev Cell to JCB to Cell Rep. that’s how timelines got stretched. It’s tough when a student’s counting on this for graduation, but we got there! The graduation has been delayed but she’s now happy with a short visit in Cambridge.

This paper is also a follow-up to our membrane phospholipid-histone crosstalk project. We're already wrapping up the next piece: how chromatin marks influence subcellular organization! Stay tuned for more!

[Cunqi Ye @CunqiYeLab]

This paper was a two-year battle with tough reviews and journal hops, but worth it! Many thanks to the two PhD students- Hong Qiu and Can Miao.

Hot off the press at NCB. S1P carried by HDL initiates signaling that leads to changes in ER-PM contact sites, accelerating the movement of cholesterol into human adrenal cortical cells and hepatocytes. @DalMedicine @DalPathology https://t.co/NCtzTIF6KX

Have changes in science over the past 50 years reduced the chances of trainees experiencing the joy of discovery?

[Cunqi Ye @CunqiYeLab]

@Kasparas_lab Thank you🤝

[Cunqi Ye @CunqiYeLab]

Thrilled to share our new Nature Chemical Biology study online today! We’ve uncovered a “lipid clock” ⏰within yeast cells, revealing temporal oscillations in phospholipid abundance during the metabolic/cell division cycle. #Lipids #BiologicalRhythm #Cell https://t.co/3aOYsDYjEs

@TheBaiLab Thank you😁
