🥳A tuneable minimal cell membrane reveals that two lipid species suffice for life: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…. We chemically minimized the membrane of the Minimal Cell...they survived, but with some interesting shapes, like this 'Death Star' phenotype @Ijustice555 @JCVenterInst
🦠 Minimal Membranes for Minimal Cells 🦠! In our latest study, we introduce an approach to minimize and tune lipidome composition in mycoplasma and the Minimal Cell JCVI-Syn3A. tinyurl.com/53235uzt #Lipidtime @BCUBE_TUDresden

⚠️🚨Our new @Nature Reviews article summarized all current evidence of #PhaseSeparation in #kidney, with a focus on Hyperosmotic Phase Separation (HOPS) as a rapid and widespread response to #osmolarity fluctuations.

⚠️New paper alert✨
If you work on #BiomolecularCondensates and dual-color SPT, have you ever wonder which boundary detection method works the best? Are there bias introduced by each method? My new paper @NilsWalterLab may provide some insights! (1/4)

Introducing Dr. Thomas Shaw! Congrats to Thomas for a great talk and thesis -- and check out that cake made by veatchlab members and alums including @ss_shelbs @AdamDecker98 @JenChemFlan inspired by a figure made by @biophysnerd!
We love B cells! 💚💕🧫
Announcing our publication featuring Sarah Shelby @ss_shelbs with @leventallab in @nchembio! nature.com/articles/s41589-0… or rdcu.be/c8MrE
TLDR: functional lipid rafts driven by membrane phase separation exist in live cell membranes, but with an unexpected twist!
