🚨 Paper Alert! We’re starting off the year with our latest publication in @NatureCellBio on the role of phase separation in selective autophagy initiation!
This work was a close and exciting collaboration with @WilflingLab
🔗 https://t.co/KLEgfgHAVu
Here are the key findings👇

[Kraft Lab @KraftLabFR]

🔑 In summary, we uncovered an unknown mechanism where Atg11/FIP200 phase separation drives initiation hubs formation for selective autophagy initiation in both yeast and mammals. Thanks to all collaborators & the first authors @_mariyalicheva, Jeremy, Riccardo, and @Hesktorplay

How do plants control their growth?
A team of researchers @UniFreiburg led by CIBSS member Thomas Laux identified the HAN molecule as an important regulator of plant root growth in conjunction with WOX5. Published in @NaturePlants. 🌱
