Just wrapped up the 2025 lab retreat! Great discussions, great company, and a fondue night in Basel to celebrate! 🫕✨

💫NEW: Kraft, Wilfling & co show that low-affinity cargo–receptor interactions promote #autophagy receptor mobility and condensation of the scaffold protein Atg11 to trigger initiation hub and phagophore formation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Proud to share our latest work with @jessenlab.bsky.social ! We optimized a method to purify polyphosphate in human cells. The paper reviews critical steps in protocols, shares physiological insights, and yes – we’ve got NMR snapshots of mammalian polyP! Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.ym... #polyP

#News in #Autophagy research: CIBBS member @kraftlabfr.bsky.social, in collaboration with @wilflinglab.bsky.social and a team of researchers from Freiburg and Frankfurt, show in @naturecellbiology.bsky.social how weak molecular interactions are essential for autophagy to start. kurzlinks.de/4z6s

Thanks to all lecturers and especially to the organisers (@ottlab.bsky.social and co) of the Z03 imaging workshop this Tuesday! After lectures about imaging techniques in the morning, the participants received practical input in a hands-on session in the afternoon.
