Fantastic and productive meeting with the labs of Tamotsu Yoshimori, Shuhei Nakamura, Akiko Kuma at #Osaka University. Discussing perspectives of #microautophagy in th #lysosome regeneration after damage. Thanks so much for hosting me.

Meeting new and old friends at the JPS conference in Kyoto, Japan. Presented our newest data on the #Lysosome Damage Response. #ATXN3 Thanks to the organizers.

Excellent thesis defense by Pinki Gahlot concluding brillant work on a sensor module, SPG20-ITCH that detects lipid packing defects in the limiting membrane of permeabilized #lysosomes and initiates #lysophagy.

Fun at the lab outing

Can’t believe the fantastic Dana Branzei has joined our faculty in Essen and the #CRC1430! Esteemed expert in DNA replication and repair, Humboldt-Professor, and zabaione connaisseuse. #UDE

Another excellent Frankfurt meeting #fcqc2025 on cellular quality control. Fantastic speaker lineup, discussions and hospitality. Thx to the organizers. #ubiquitin #autophagy fcqc.de

Great visit in Kiel Biochemistry with Elmar Wolf, Paul Saftig, M. Damme, M. Voß. Talking exciting (lysosome) science at the beautiful Kiel Fjord.

New VCP/p97 review article. Report on the excellent VCP meeting at CalTech last year and great overview on VCP and VCP disease.
