The cell biologist’s guide to detecting and modulating membrane phospholipids | Journal of Cell Biology | Rockefeller University Press Worcester et al. describe a suite of molecular tools and approaches that can be used to probe and experimentally study lipids.

To all lipid-curious cell biologists: check out this comprehensive overview of lipid-based methods by @gerryhammond.bsky.social and colleagues in @jcb.org β€” a school of Babel fish for #lipidtime:

What better way to use my first proper post than to share my first big piece of post-doctoral work with @cg-martini.bsky.social!
Here, we used integrative modelling to build and simulate a mitochondrial cristae.
