Life is a moment! Love beers, T-shirts and fun things. Sometimes science. How do you make collagens in your body? It's my lifework 😎 酒まみれな毎日。なんだかんだで海外研究生活は干支をくるりと一回り。人生愉快犯なので色んな事に関わりたいですね～ https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=list_works&hl=en&auth

Our new preprint is online📢
If you are interested in prolyl 4-hydroxylation and collagen biosynthesis, you can learn how these go in Drosoplia ‼️🪰🪰🪰
Thank sweet and excellent collaborators a lot 😎

Evidence for the major role of PH4⍺EFB in the prolyl 4-hydroxylation of Drosophila collagen IV

Collagens are fundamental components of extracellular matrices, requiring precise intracellular post-translational modifications for proper function. Among the modifications, prolyl 4-hydroxylation is...

Collagen Biosynthesis and Its Molecular Ensemble: What Remains Unexplored

Collagen embodies an intriguing paradox in protein biology. Despite being one of the most abundant protein superfamilies in vertebrates and having a seemingly simple structural organization, its biosy...

This is my first post. We are very happy to share the following preprint!

Our work introduces a novel concept that the functional state of the ERES is maintained through the autoregulated phosphorylation–dephosphorylation cycle of key scaffold proteins.

Thank you for sharing this, Tom! I added it to my reading list 🙂 Also, your 4PBA and collagen III mutation paper is in there✌️ See you at collagen GRC!

Yoshi Ishikawa @collagenyoshi.bsky.social · Apr 26

Please add your reading list! Our shiny collagen IV paper is out now😎 Enjoy beautiful red and green images! Yes, I MUST do molecular characterization of this "beauty" collagen IV... My TO-DO list is too much😅

Mao, Gould et al. introduce a novel tagged Col4a1 mouse model for studying basement membrane dynamics, which provides important details of COL4A1 turnover in cerebral vasculature & shows that Col4a1 heterozygous deletion is better tolerated than missense mutations rupress.org/jcb/article/...

My first post of 2025 is here! 😎 Excited to share my new paper on horse collagen I 🐎. We explored COL1 structure and modifications in horses with LH1 mutations. Don’t miss the unique images of twisted collagen fibrils—check it out below!👇👇👇

Through live imaging with new tools, Wuergezhen et al. visualise the hidden dynamics of the basement membrane (BM).

We show how BM turnover & expansion coordinate with cellular movements & divisions, highlighting their active & synergistic roles in skin morphogenesis.
