MOST interesting!! :
Plasma membrane curvature regulates the formation of contacts with the endoplasmic reticulum

The review that we wrote together with @ian263 and our MSc student Grace has been published by @J_Cell_Sci. Please read it if you are interested in Adaptations of membrane trafficking in cancer biology! @QubPGJCCR @MHLSQUB
In their #OpenAccess Review, @EvergrenEmma, @ian263 & Grace Kennedy @QubPGJCCR, @QUBelfast discuss the adaptations in major membrane trafficking pathways observed in cancer & explore the potential for treatment strategies based on this knowledge.

ALT Cartoon highlighting that increased expression of COPI subunits in cancer leads to changes in cell signalling, autophagy, early endosome and lysosome maturation, lipid droplet biogenesis & metabolism and Golgi structure. Together these changes contribute to cancer cell survival and tumorigenesis.

📢 What role do novel therapeutics that block persistent androgen receptor signalling have in castrate-resistant #prostatecancer?
Congrats @AdamSharpMedOnc and team @ICR_London and beyond, publishing in @MCT_AACR

The launch is underway!
PGJCCR's brand new #ProstateCancer Centre of Excellence is Ireland's first independent prostate cancer research centre. We'll be sharing some of their research through the week so watch this space!

Excited to share our latest work on prostate cancer and our first on membrane contact sites. We imaged for the first time ER-mitochondria contact sites in tumour and explant tissue samples. Great collaboration with the Butler lab @LisaButler5 frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

While lipid droplets are generally known as lipid storage organelles, the primary function for lipid droplet biogenesis may be for alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress. Check out our latest review for details.

Congratulations to James Holloway who passed his PhD viva today! I’m proud to have supervised you during these years!
Huge congrats to James Holloway on passing his viva today!
Everyone at #PGJCCR is extremely proud and delighted!

Sometimes working on basic science has implications for people’s life. Studying intracellular lipid trafficking we have stumbled upon a group of individuals affected by neurodevelopmental syndrome and bearing mutations in CERT1 jci.org/articles/view/165019
Ian Mills @ian263 is running this month to raise awareness around prostate cancer and raise money to fund research. Please support if you can. @QubPGJCCR @ProstateUK

Great update on the field of LYTACs, or lysosome-targeting chimeras, and autophagy degraders.
The lysosomal degraders
Inspired by PROTACs, new degraders are emerging that harness endocytosis and autophagy to send a wide array of targets to the lysosome for destruction bit.ly/3hTnPen

Excited to share this: a new #cellline model to study #prostatecancer development! Happy to have contributed to this collaboration with @TVisakorpi @NykterLab. Huge congrats to PhD student Konsta Kukkonen for his first thesis publication! A thread.

Thrilled to share that the PITT pathway is now online @Nature. rdcu.be/cU85m. We identified ER-lysosomal membrane contacts and subsequent lysosomal lipid transfer as an essential mechanism for rapid lysosomal repair. @PittTweet @AgingPitt @PittDeptofMed @UPMC
