Ca²⁺ leakage is a conserved signal for non-canonical ATG8/LC3 lipidation and membrane repair - The EMBO Journal Endomembrane damage of intracellular vesicles triggers signals that activate membrane repair in mammalian cells to restore homeostasis. However, the signals that drive diverse membrane repair recruitm...

💥Our latest @embojournal.org on membrane damage and repair. Di @dichen02.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk found that calcium is a conserved signal for ATG8/LC3 lipidation on membranes using novel probes to record calcium leakage. Congratulations Di et al!

Identifiquen una diana terapèutica que permetria frenar la propagació dels coronavirus Es tracta d'un enzim que s'activa en les cèl·lules humanes com a resposta a l'estrès degut a la infecció i provoca canvis en la maquinària cel·lular que afavoreixen la producció i la propagació dels c...

1/ 🎯 A therapeutic target that would curb the spread of #coronaviruses has been identified

It is an enzyme that is activated in human cells in response to stress due to infection and causes changes in the cellular machinery that favour the production and spread of coronaviruses

If you are in Barcelona next Friday (20th) morning, pass by the PRBB to learn about #MembraneTension dynamics from Erdem Karatekin!

Postdoc job alert at Institut Jacques Monod in Paris! Interested in fundamental membrane trafficking? We seek a postdoc to study collagen secretion as a model for core principles of how cells and their environment build each other. emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

Please share!!! I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join us. Focus will be on exciting collaborative projects on lipids and membrane biology, pushing the boundaries of in silico "reconstitutions". Previous experience with molecular dynamics simulations of biological systems a strong plus!

Una magnífica notícia amb un titular nefast de La Ser.

RIP treball en equip 😔 Sort que hi ha qui dona visibilitat a l’equip.
La comunicació científica també ha d’explicar com treballen els equips de recerca. #SciComm #biaix

Join us this Thursday (Jan 29) at 5pm CET for the first #MembraneTrafficking seminars of 2026, featuring two outstanding scientists, Giovanni D'Angelo (EPFL) and Sean Munro (@cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social), and the shared topic of protein trafficking, retention & sorting at the #Golgi 🥞

👇👇👇👇

Two PhD positions just opened in the Gallego lab at our department @melisupf.bsky.social @upf.edu @prbb.org! #MembraneTrafficking in cryo-tolerant systems, with wet lab and computational projects available. Come do cool (and cold 😉) science with Oriol in Barcelona!

Please share🙏:

Muchísimas gracias Rafa!!

Very happy that our "ExHOS in action" was selected! Thanks a lot @prbb.org , credit goes to Dylan Godfrey🙌

Explorant els mecanismes de l'exocitosi - El·lipse Una recerca liderada pel MELIS-UPF ha identificat l'ExHOS el nanomissatger que intervé en els processos de secreció cel·lular gràcies a la microscòpia òptica i electrònica i l'anàlisi d'imatges amb intel·ligència artificial.

🔬 Aquesta imatge 3D forma part d’un estudi de @melisupf.bsky.social  que revela noves perspectives sobre l’exocitosi, amb un possible impacte en com els patògens aprofiten la secreció cel·lular.

I’ll soon share a call for a postdoc at Institut Jacques Monod (Paris) on fundamental mechanisms of membrane traffic and protein/collagen secretion in health and disease. Please get in touch if interested.

Thanks a lot Marc!!!
