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

Busy times … The membrane’s digest arrives with delay and in a shorter format (no three-sentence summaries …) but with important and must-read papers !
Again, a bunch of cool readings … the world of membranes is as inspired as ever ! Cherries on top: Statistical physicists set out to ‘scientifically optimize’ the recipe of cacio e pepe and a series of paper to guide you through the way to Nobel prize (thank you Corentin Largeau for the latter press review; do not hesitate to contribute as well if you are inspired !)
Science: Transport, ABC, RNDs, lipid transport, pH cool tools … extravaganza ! Miscellaneous: budget cuts, WHOxit, Keylabs … Dramaganza !
Busy week ! The membrane digest is arriving with a slight delay and in a more detailed format this time (not concise three-sentence summaries, but full abstracts). Nonetheless the content remains just as rich and exciting ! Have a nice day and a nice week,
