Great study and a nicely succinct explanation below!

Cell membranes sustain phospholipid imbalance via cholesterol asymmetry This work challenges a major assumption in cell biology by showing that lipid bilayers can have drastically different phospholipid abundances between their two leaflets. This lipid abundance asymmetry...

Groundbreaking study in Cell from @leventallab.bsky.social: phospholipid asymmetry is a defining feature of the plasma membrane and cholesterol fills the holes — major implications for how this membrane works. A #lipidtime must-read! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

If you’re in San Diego for #ACSSpring2025, don’t miss our @acsbiol.bsky.social symposium featuring @chembiobryan.bsky.social, Jenn Prescher, & Carsten Schultz on Wed 3/26 from 2-5 pm in Room 31A to hear about awesome #lipidtime #bioorthogonal #chembio #synbio! acs.digitellinc.com/live/34/sess... 2/2

Congratulations!! 🎊

It’s my honor you like the work. Too bad there aren’t any galactose analogs I can use 🥹

However, myelin growth occurs at the innermost layer of myelin wrap-far from and difficult to access from the cell body. This led us to hypothesize that oligodendroglial ER extends into the myelin, allowing lipids to be synthesized locally and delivered directly to myelin (3/n)

As an enthusiast of ER and membrane biology, I find oligodendrocytes fascinating because they are among the human body’s most powerful lipid producers. To generate myelin, each cell must expand its plasma membrane thousands of times. (2/n)

! We studied how oligodendrocytes produce myelin. Using volume EM, we characterized oligodendroglial ER (magenta) in mouse developing myelin and explored nonvesicular lipid transport involved doi.org/10.1038/s414... (1/n)
