Today a slightly lighter Membrane’s digest: light on content, but super rich in quality. Plants, yeast, virus, bacteria, macrophages, serotonergic neurons: MPs rule them all !!!
In today’s digest, membranes take central stage: bending, flipping, and frying cancer cells one lipid at a time. but proteins have not said their last word. In addition, physicists play Midas and Spicy food aficionados will find an antidote 🌶️💥 !
A new efflux pump partner, new model for proton pumping and lipid-based gating mechanisms, new detergents and 🦈 antibodies, new cool artificial lipid mimetic, previously hidden biding sites, … all this topped with a pinch of sugar … What an exciting time to be studying membranes and membrane proteins !
Again a great and rich week in the membrane world ! Have a nice reading, have a nice week-end,
Dear all, Please find below the weekly Membrane’s Digest. As usual, a great bunch of super interesting articles ! How long will it take them to reach 350,000 x citations ? Best,
We've finally (almost) managed to catch up with the literature that's been piling up ! So, last Membrane digest in its ”Daily” version … see you in 1 week with a more traditional format. Today, AI is under the spotlight… have a nice week !
In today’s Mb digest, membranes take center stage: bending under pressure, flipping lipids, pumping protons, constraining embedded MPs in their functional behaviour and occasionally organizing into tissues when squished hard enough ! Have a nice reading, have a nice day, BPM
You’ll find below a new daily release of the Mb Digest. Very much ”Efflux”-related (guilty as charged), but not only: Pump up the volume ! Have a nice day !
The Membrane's digest took some vacations, but is back ! Let’s try and catch up the very active MP literature by suggesting daily editions over the next few days ! Today’s edition introduces a twist on the traditional “impact factor”: the Cake Factor — a metric that ranks labs by the number of cakes shared to celebrate papers, grants, and milestones. A tradition said to “strengthen organizational culture and recognize the hard work of authors.” With such a standard, our lab is topping the charts! Have a nice day !
Some of you commented that the last membrane digest was a bit heavy on the bad news.... So let's brighten things up with this edition - an easy task, packed with top-notch articles and exciting updates ! BTW: If you still want to stay updated on the state of science in the U.S., Science magazine has launched TrumpTracker—a thread covering the latest science-related decisions from the Trump administration: https://www.science.org/content/article/science-trump-latest-news
