ATG2A-mediated DAG transfer recruits DGAT2 for lipid droplet growth - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Elhan et al. show that ATG2A acts with DGAT2, the enzyme producing triacylglycerol (TAG), in lipid droplet growth. By delivering diacylglycerol to lipid droplets, ATG2A not only fuels TAG production b...

Thrilled to share our latest work showing that the bridge lipid transport protein ATG2A transfers diacylglycerol (DAG), and some TAG/PA, from the ER to LDs, thereby recruiting DGAT2 to drive local TAG synthesis, promoting LD expansion while protecting ER membranes.

We’re looking for a creative and thoughtful scientist with a PhD in cell biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, or a related field who values both independence and teamwork.

Applicants may be asked to co-write a one-page proposal outlining their first project.

In our lab, you'll work with in vitro reconstitution, advanced microscopy, and cell-based approaches to uncover how membrane processes influence neurodegeneration.

We provide world-class facilities, a collaborative and supportive environment, and opportunities to present your work at conferences.

Every few months the "good lab hands" thing comes up and it misses a key point: you can learn to have good hands. Training matters.

Good hands aren't some magic gift from the PCR gods, you have to develop them through directed repetitive practice, like any other skill

The expanding repertoire of ESCRT functions in cell biology and disease - Nature This Review examines recently gained insights into the roles of ESCRT complexes in viral infection, immunity, cancer and neurological disease.

The ESCRT complexes are a fascinating membrane cutting machine with roles in countless cell pathways, but they are also ubiquitous in disease and offer new opportunities as drug targets. See our new review with Alyssa Coyne, Marta MiΔ…czyΕ„ska, and Harald Stenmark at tinyurl.com/yex3trem
