The FEBS Journal

🚨The EMBO | EMBL Symposium, 'Mechanobiology across the tree of life', will delve into cell wall, cytoskeleton, and membrane biology with an evolutionary lens.
You still have one more week to submit your abstract for #EESMechanobiology.
➡️ Abstract submission deadline: 10 March 2026

Happy to share our new paper in @febsj.bsky.social! With
@ondrej-kuda.bsky.social & @fedorovalab.bsky.social we show how #LipidDroplets reshape the lipidome of PUFA-exposed cells, but can also shift function within the same cell, revealing a context-dependent role in #ferroptosis. shorturl.at/TyRl1

💻 We look forward to attending the EMBO-EMBL Symposium ‘AI and biology’ in Heidelberg next week.

💬 Please come and meet The FEBS Journal Editor, Yeliz Yılmaz. We'd be delighted to connect and discuss great science with you!
