Gerry Hammond @gerryhammond.bsky.social rocking #BiomembraneDays25 with an awesome story on how PIP lipids are regulated!

pure (synthetic) lipid membranes can fuse by themselves, but its very energetically 'expensive' (ie hard to happen spontaneously). In cells, the process is accelerated by ATP-driven motors called SNAREs

Some very clever and interesting membrane biophysicists (and also me) are doing a little webinar on... well, membrane biophysics of today and tomorrow.

Check it out if you have time!
