Super cool, like the use of diazirines to fix the lipids in place! Also some #glycotime inside the #lipidtime!
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.
