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.

Just published!! Congrat's to my post-doc Wang for getting featured on the cover of Science Signaling. So proud!! So much more to learn about phenotypic plasticity.

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.

Summer is approaching & so is the 2026 Lipid Droplets: From Mechanisms to Disease FASEB SRC (July 26-30 in Scottsdale, AZ)!
Interested in lipids? Join this amazing summer research conference!
Abstracts due May 31,
Early registration June 14.

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

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

Check out our highlight of the most recent example of subcellular mitochondrial specialization in @CurrentBiology. Be sure to also check out the beautiful work from David Sherwood's lab

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.
