During #NeuronalDifferentiation, #organelles dramatically reorganize. #Microtubules are essential tracks for transport. But are they just highways, or can they instruct organelle behavior? Are tubulin modifications a regulatory code that guides organelle position or function?1/9

Cells come in many shapes and sizes, with diverse physiological functions. But how do #organelles and their interaction networks remodel during #differentiation of stem cells into different cell types? Here’s what we discovered about neuronal differentiation: 1/13

Cool story from @YoniMalis and @KoretHirschberg on the role of Rab1 in targeting proteins from the #EndoplasmicReticulum to #LipidDroplets
Happy to share that our #Rab1 - #LipidDroplets paper is now published in @ScienceAdvances.
We show that Rab1b regulates the recruitment of the essential lipid synthesizing enzyme #DGAT2 from the ER to the LD surface in order to promote their growth.
We also link Rab1b’s role in LDs to the pathogenesis of Warburg Micro syndrome.
