Thrilled to have our story on the regulation of lysosomal lipids out in @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social! The work was led by two outstanding grad students Jess Davidson and Raghav Jain probing mechanistic control of energy expenditure @hhmi.org @uwbiochem.bsky.social

Why are biological membranes asymmetric, with different lipids in the two bilayer leaflets? Discovered in the 70s, lipid asymmetry is linked to many cellular processes, but why the cell needs it is largely unclear. @pavelbarahtjan.bsky.social addresses this question: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share that our cell surface proteome review is now online on Chemical Reviews! 🥰 We highlight recent advances of techniques mapping cell surface protein expression, protein-protein interactions, extracellular PTMs and MHC complexes. @jimwellsucsf.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Are lipids actively sorted during clathrin mediated endocytosis like proteins? @mathilda95.bsky.social addresses this key open question together with our collaborators from the Honigmann and Modes labs using a new Lipid-STED workflow. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨New preprint: There's this overlooked phospholipid with 3 acyl tails called NAPE that is made during ischemia. We identified its interactome & found it regulates lactate flux, suggesting metabolic functions in response to hypoxia. Congrats to Dylan Chiu! doi.org/10.26434/che... #lipidtime #chembio

Overjoyed and honestly relieved to share a Chem Rev magnum opus from Brian Chen & Julia Li titled Synthetic Lipid Biology! In it, we organize efforts across numerous fields to create, manipulate, and analyze lipids and biomembranes. Check it out! doi.org/10.1021/acs.... #lipidtime #chemsky #chembio

First Princeton paper! Activity-based sensing plus narrow Raman signatures enable multiplex copper imaging, revealing crosstalk between high antioxidant response element NRF2 activation and low labile Cu in cancer. Fun project with Wei Min’s lab at Columbia! #chemsky pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
