This preprint from Groza et al. (Helge Ewers lab) looks really interesting. Exploring how particles (such as virions) gain entry to cells. Really neat application of synthetic tools to show that overcoming energy for membrane deformation is the key step to endocytosis.

I am a cell biologist running a research group (@roylelab) focused on membrane traffic and cell division in human cells. My lab is in @Warwick_CMCB at . My posts are mainly about and but also , and .

My previous handle was clathrin. For my data analysis alter-ego, follow @quantixed.

Yesterday we @roylelab celebrated 125 years since the discovery of the Golgi with Italian snacks from my recent trip to Rome with @simonecoppola! Feat. a cuddly Golgi borrowed from a mini @clathrin and Golgi earrings gifted to me by my colleague and friend Thilani! Thanks to fellow Golgi fans Felix Campelo and Ishier Raote for the inspiration - I might make this a yearly thing!

This new paper from Obashi and colleagues in the Taraska lab is very nice. It uses a FRET-CLEM approach to look at protein conformations in cells and tie those to ultrastructural correlates. Here they are looking at clathrin light chain dynamics relative to the clathrin cage during , but there are many other questions in cell biology where this could be applied.

Really interesting work from Jon Audhya's lab came out last year which I'm just catching up on.
pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2210
Shows that TFG, a protein known to be involved in COPII-dependent export of secretory cargo from the ER, is also needed for Rab4-dependent trafficking in neurons. This appears to be unique to the central nervous system and likely explains the impact of TFG p.R106C in early-onset forms of hereditary spastic paraplegia.

This paper looks at the nanoscale distribution of reticulon 4 relative to curved regions of the ER. Amazing imaging and analysis in here!

Enjoyable day here at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência serving on the PhD jury for Margarida Araújo (Telley + Oliveira labs) who passed with flying colours. Fun project looking at the role of ER in mitotic spindle function in drosophila. You can read her work here:

Yesterday's UK Membrane Traffic meeting at UCL was great. So nice to be back in-person after a 3 year break. The talks were all interesting from synaptic vesicles, lysosomes, to IFT and array tomography. Talks from ECRs, new PIs, and a grandee in the field.
It's a mature field but there's still lots to discover. It made me really enthusiastic about the future of .

I am slightly biased but Méghane just gave a fantastic talk here on vesicle movement in cells
