Cell Biology lab at UTSW @UTSWNews. We study lipid droplets and the organization of metabolism in cells.

Important to celebrate trainee victories: excited to have @HollyMerta's paper out in @CellReports.

We use TurboID sub-organelle proteomics to map the ER network.

We discover calmin/CLMN, an ER-to-actin tether regulating focal adhesions & cell motility.

So happy to host @RobertoZoncu at UTSW, who gave a spectacular seminar as part of our LMND series on lipids and organelles in neurodegenerative diseases. Thank you for visiting us Roberto!

Great to see this Spotlight article in Trends in Cell Biology highlighting our recent identification of a lipid droplet quality control pathway in which FSP1 protects PUFA-rich neutral lipids from peroxidation, thereby suppressing ferroptosis.

COMMENT | NJ Færgeman (U of Southern Denmark)

Long-chain acyl-CoA esters are essential to virtually every aspect of lipid metabolism, yet they are underappreciated and deserve greater attention.

New paper from the lab, lead by graduate student Liang Chen. Here, guided by genome-wide CRISPR screening, we demonstrated that either lipids have a big impact on the lysosomal function, especially under the storage disease conditions. https://t.co/5emVVLZSuq

[Delgoffe Lab @DelgoffeLab]

Dearest gentle reader, we are delighted to announce a new story from our lab published in @Nature describing how a meal's systemic metabolic changes are interpreted by your immune system to enhance adaptive immunity. A thread 1/ https://t.co/zACqCLxDMU

@BonifacinoJuan @DePaceRaffa Congratulations Juan!

[ASBMB @ASBMB]

James Olzmann (@OlzmannLab at @UCBerkeley) won the 2026 Avanti Award in Lipids. His work has advanced knowledge of lipid droplets, lipid metabolism & ferroptosis.

Very interesting study examining links between key lysosome homeostasis proteins and neurodevelopment disorder.

[Juan S. Bonifacino @BonifacinoJuan]

New work from @MencacciLab et al, with contribution from @DePaceRaffa in our lab @NIH_Innovates, identifies pathogenic variants in BORCS5, encoding a subunit of the BORC complex, as a cause of a severe neurodevelopmental disorder with lysosomal dysfunction https://t.co/I1wipmAtxb

So happy to host Antonia De Maio from @CellPressNews as part of our LMND seminar series. Antonia spoke to trainees about the publishing career path, and gave a wonderful seminar about navigating academic publishing.
