Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism.

The connectome of the entire male Drosophila central nervous system is out!! Acquired using FIB-SEM @ 8x8x8nm, we aligned 7.5 mio 2D images aligned into one seamless 3D volume, which was used to segment & proofread neurons and synapses. @hhmijanelia.bsky.social

How are tissue folds stabilized during animal organ development? Our latest preprint helps to answer this question, using the fruit fly wing disc as a model doi.org/10.1101/2025.... @poldresden.bsky.social @mpipks.bsky.social @dfg.de @janafuhrmann.bsky.social @vicioms.bsky.social @mbisg.bsky.social

Apical extracellular matrix regulates fold morphogenesis in the Drosophila wing disc

Tissue folding is a fundamental process occurring in animal organ development. Here, we study the progression of fold shape and the underlying mechanics in the development of the Drosophila wing disc....

Cell Physics community is missing Jochen Guck deeply.. He was a very kind and generous person, one of the most creative minds, and always ready to help everyone in the field.. He inspired many of us.. He will always be missed..

#lipidtime alert!
This preprint by Kenji Maeda (cannot find him here) & colleagues is mandatory reading by everybody with even a cursory interest in lipid biology:

Lipid Landscape of human cells

Eukaryotic cells synthesise thousands of lipid species, yet the principles that organise them across compartments remain unclear. Here we introduce PAP-SL, parallel (immuno)affinity purification coupl...

Lipid imaging on the cover of @nature.com! Great times for lipid cell biology indeed. And a fantastic recognition of all the hard work by the team, especially Juan M. Iglesias-Artola and Kristin Böhlig (who made the cover). Link to article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New preprint from the lab! We discovered a transient fluidization in the basal region of human forebrains by tracking microdroplets in cerebral organoids.This “basal fluidization”, absent in gorilla and mouse, may contribute to greater surface expansion in human forebrains

Terrible news and a great loss for the community. Jochen was an inspiring scientist. My condolences to his family, his coworkers and colleagues.

Absolutely. But they already got their Nobel.

Cool. Really cool. You kind of expect it from Reto.

Not sure about that.

Very exciting work. Shows how interfering with the levels of one lipid class leads to changes of other lipids that are not directly metabolically connected as the cell tries to maintain both lipid flux balance and biophysical membrane properties.

How do cells sense & respond to lipid imbalances? What happens when a disease-relevant enzyme is blocked? Shiying Huang investigates phosphoinositide lipids with the Balla lab & discovers an integrated cellular response that boosts alternate lipid synthesis pathways! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
