#MSCA PhD fellow: working on structural biophysics of neurotransporters, @cloland_dk, University of Copenhagen @NeuroTransETN @ISBUC1

[LolandLab @cloland_dk]

Check out this fantastic symposium on structural biology held in beautiful Copenhagen.

[Iris Kalenderoglou @iris_kalen]

Thrilled to share that my PhD journey has come to an end! Huge thanks to my supervisor Claus @cloland_dk and the amazing Loland lab! Grateful to my assessors, Prof. Simon Newstead, Prof. Bjorn Pedersen, and Prof. Nanna MacAuley, for a great discussion during my examination! 🎓

[LolandLab @cloland_dk]

@iris_kalen is now Dr Iris. An excellent PhD thesis was presented and defended with bravour. Thanks to the assessors @BrainH2O_Lab (chair), @inwardopen and @BjornPPedersen.

Congrats Marie!🥂🎉

[LolandLab @cloland_dk]

@MarieGram is defending her PhD illustrating how her fluorescent cocaine analogues can show that they are protonated when binding to the dopamine transporter. Thanks to @DFF_raad for support.

[Keenan Crane @keenanisalive]

We often think of an "equilibrium" as something standing still, like a scale in perfect balance.

But many equilibria are dynamic, like a flowing river which is never changing—yet never standing still.

These dynamic equilibria are nicely described by so-called "detailed balance"

Excited to share our latest research on how cholesterol influences the clustering and plasma membrane curvature biogenesis of the influenza M2 proton channel using coarse-grained MD simulations! 🦠🧬 Read the paper here: https://t.co/CuhcVx9fmc

[LolandLab @cloland_dk]

YAY! Our paper showing insertion of the fluorescent non-canonical amino acid Anap into SERT is out. We directly measure binding of ions, inhibitors and substrates, and estimate on- and off-rates. Grateful to @novonordiskfond, @DFF_raad & @Carlsbergfondet.

An exciting @NatureMedicine publication highlights the repurposing of vortioxetine, an approved and affordable antidepressant, for the treatment of #glioblastoma!

[Nature Medicine @NatureMedicine]

A single-cell ex vivo screening of repurposable drugs in #glioblastoma coupled with machine learning show that anti-tumour neuroactive drugs converge on the AP1-BTG pathway and identify the antidepressant vortioxetine as a potential therapeutic agent.

The 10 biggest medical research papers from this week (🧵)

1. A high resolution structure of the dopamine transporter - key to Parkinson's, schizophrenia, and addiction

Here's what it looks like bound to cocaine, one of its ligands (in orange)

[LolandLab @cloland_dk]

Here we go! Our structure of the human dopamine transporter in complex with cocaine has been published in Nature (https://t.co/A2yyoJwGsC). Commentary by @SitteHarald (https://t.co/PxuXLQ8qGS). Thanks to @ShahsavarAzadeh and Pape for contributing. @neuroscience_dk, @UCPH_health

Magnetic Isolation and Concentration (MagIC)-cryo-EM is a new method to enable direct structural analysis of targets captured on nanomagnetic beads, which requires only 0.0005 mg/mL of targets in 100 µL crude solution to make 10 cryo-EM grids. I will explain the magic behind it!
