Thanks @somssich.bsky.social for a truly fantastic lecture!
Six months after leaving Academia, I am back giving a lecture on #PlantScience History as Guest Speaker of the @snp2prot.bsky.social Program @unihalle.bsky.social.

Thank you @carolindelker.bsky.social for inviting & hosting me.
It was a pleasure to talk about Arabidopsis History to the students. 🙂

Physical principles have redefined our understanding of autophagy.

In our new @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social review, we discuss how phase separation, avidity, and wetting shape autophagy at the molecular level.

Great collaboration with @wilflinglab.bsky.social

Autophagy regulation by phase separation, avidity, and wetting
Autophagy enables cells to selectively degrade a wide range of macromolecules, and how this process achieves spatial precision within the densely packed cytosol is an active area of investigation. Rec...

Happy to contribute to the excellent work from our collaborators where "1 + 1 ≠ 2". Instead of increased susceptibility to #rice_blast, loss of 2 CPK5 paralogs led to #Effector-triggered_immunity (ETI)-type of resistance, thus showing importance of #calcium_signalling.
