Our new paper on TOR is out in @ScienceAdvances ! We found that dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) generated in the chloroplast mediates the activation of TOR by CO2 and light in Chlamydomonas. https://t.co/TwOPB9BzdY @mjmallen @IBVF_Sevilla @CSIC @CSICAndalExtrem @NervaMEPP

I had the pleasure of attending the @SEFAGIA_ meeting (#SEFAGIA2025) last week. There, we showcased the advancements of our group, @AUSISgroup, in autosis research through a poster presented by Alejandra and a talk given by María.

🖼️ Hoy recordamos los inicios de SEFAGIA, ideada en 2013 y finalmente fundada en 2017 para promover la investigación en autofagia en España 🖼️ Today we recall the beginnings of SEFAGIA, first discussed in 2013 and finally established in 2017 to promote Spanish autophagy research

5⃣ Dear "autophagiers" (is that a valid word?): we have made it into Session 5 ("Autophagy and Neurological Diseases")! @AuroraScrivo1 is the one breaking the ice, talking about microglia, Parkinson's disease and autophagy.

@AntonioZorzano @bio_miguelon @ChlamyAutophagy @CarolineMvz @DrJimenezMoreno @TerjeJohansen17 @Agilent @FEBSOpenBio @HaploXGlobal @e_SEQC 4⃣ Session 4 is here ("Autophagy and Disease, Metabolism and Aging"), but also Halloween! 🎃 Thanks to @Juanaloca2002, who starts the afternoon fashionably by talking about the role of autophagy in alcoholic steatohepatitis. #SEFAGIA2025

@AntonioZorzano @bio_miguelon @ChlamyAutophagy @CarolineMvz @DrJimenezMoreno @TerjeJohansen17 👏 We are midway in #SEFAGIA2025, a perfect moment to stop for a second and thank our sponsors: @Agilent, @FEBSOpenBio, @HaploXGlobal and @e_SEQC! Thank you so much for supporting us!

👤 And we start with the first Keynote Lecture in #SEFAGIA2025, by Robbie Loewith (University of Geneva 🇨🇭), talking about the TOR pathway. What a start!

@AntonioZorzano @bio_miguelon @ChlamyAutophagy @CarolineMvz @DrJimenezMoreno 👐 Welcome to Day 2 in #SEFAGIA2025! Second day, and second Keynote Lecture, this time by the great @TerjeJohansen17 (The Arctic University of Norway 🇳🇴), guiding us through the discovery of p62 as a selective autophagy receptor and much, much more.

@AntonioZorzano @bio_miguelon @ChlamyAutophagy 🟢 And we stay with the microalgae, as Samuel Gámez (@ChlamyAutophagy) goes deep into the role of autophagy counteracting stressors in Chlamydomonas. #SEFAGIA2025

@AntonioZorzano @bio_miguelon 🌱 And now we are back to TOR! This time is our dear José Luis Crespo (@ChlamyAutophagy), talking about this signaling pathway in plants and, specifically, in microalgae. #SEFAGIA2025

We have a predoctoral fellowship to work in our lab! Please RT

Another step on the journey of turning ohadii into a powerful new model! The genome scale model eciCO1515 has been introduced with several novel approaches for GEM compartmentalization. Great work led by the Nikoloski group! #algae #metabolism

Our lab @fxpimentelm @CBM_CSIC_UAM is looking for postdoctoral candidates to apply for contracts offered by the Juan de la Cierva and/or Fundacion La Caixa 2025 calls. More details in attachment. Pls RT.

With @katerinarohlena pleased to announce the 2026 Prague Metabolism and Signaling Meeting (June 24-27). Two Keynotes (Vousden & Hall) and 30+ speakers in metabolism, mitochondria, aging, mTOR, & more. Please RT. Info, registration, & student discounts at: https://t.co/hWoFGQ46Ci

Great work by Li et al. (2025) on identifying the regulatory loop between #PlantTOR complex (TORC) via its RAPTOR1B subunit and the CBL4/CBL10–CIPK24 module in #Arabidopsis, which regulates the balance between plant growth and #SaltStress response 🧂🌱. 🔗 https://t.co/KOA2Whl3um

We promote Auxenochlorella as the green yeast for studying chloroplasts and photosynthesis!

New in Nature Communications: Our study uncovers how green algae coordinate the CO₂-concentrating mechanism and photorespiration during low CO₂ acclimation. This has implications for oceanic carbon cycling. 1/4 https://t.co/iy5oN8z2q9 #Algae #Photosynthesis #ClimateScience
