very proud of @frengerquentin.bsky.social for his best oral presentation at European Intermediate Filaments 2025 congress! welldone Quentin! 👍

Quentin Frenger @frengerquentin.bsky.social · 11d

What a truly beautiful time at the European Intermediate Filament Meeting 2025 in Lyon! I was so glad to meet such a welcoming community.

I'm honored to have won the Best Oral Communication Prize for my recent postdoc project on Vimentin and Autophagy!

Huge thanks to the organizers!

Check out the recent spotlight published in @cp-trendscellbio.bsky.social about our study on ER-endosome contacts in autophagy by @julianedagraca.bsky.social

Endosome–ER contact sites in phagophore formation

Autophagy is a crucial ‘self-eating’ mechanism used by eukaryotic cells to degrade and recycle cytosolic materials. A recent study by Da Graça et al. reports that the dynamic mobilization of endosome–...

This work illustrates the importance of Rab11 membranes rewiring in response to viral stress, and the key role of PI3P/PI4P turnover in membrane reprogramming during cellular hijacking by the Influenza virus

huge congrats to @carlaalemany.bsky.social & @julianedagraca.bsky.social and collaborators!

(again!) new publication for @membramics-lab.bsky.social, by @carlaalemany.bsky.social & @julianedagraca.bsky.social

in collaboration with N Naffakh & JB Brault, we show that Influenza virus triggers an ATG16L1/Rab11 PI4P response at ER membrane for viral export

In details, we show that upon starvation, EERCS transiently stabilize at the omegasomal membrane and ER-exit sites, promoting local Ca²⁺ release and phase transition. Within EERCS confined interspace, Rab3A nanovesicles undergo homo-fusion, mediated by RAB3GAP, driving proto-phagophore assembly.

New publication by @julianedagraca.bsky.social @membramics-lab.bsky.social

We show that ER–endosome contact sites (EERCS) are essential for autophagosome biogenesis by creating a specialized environment in response to starvation.
