🏅 And the best poster award, sponsored by @FEBSOpenBio (thanks a lot for your support!), goes to Beatriz Monforte. Congratulations!

🏅 We concluded #SEFAGIA2025 with the much deserved (and increasingly difficult to choose) prizes! In the category of best oral communication: - PostDoc: @DrJimenezMoreno - PreDocs: Mireia Bosh & Federica Michetti. Congratulations!

Terje Johansen, father of p62!! 😍😍😍😍. Amazing!! Now in SEFAGIA meeting!! @SEFAGIA_

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.

@AuroraScrivo1 🫒 We keep learning about autophagy and Parkinson's disease, and how natural compounds could help us against it, thanks to Nerea Domínguez (from @grupopark). #SEFAGIA2025

@grupopark 🧠 We stay with @grupopark (and we love that), discussing more projects seeking natural compounds that could promote neuroprotection via autophagy. Mercedes Blanco has worked with so many different models! #SEFAGIA2025

@grupopark 👁️ Last talk of the day! We go back to alcohol. However, this time, Cristina Pérez does not analyze the effect of ethanol in the liver, but in the retina. And yes, it isn't good! #SEFAGIA2025

👋 Welcome to the third (and sadly last) day of #SEFAGIA2025 It is time to enjoy a new Keynote Lecture, now by our invited speaker Marja Jäätelä (Danish Cancer Institute 🇩🇰). A wonderful talk about lysosomes in cancer! 👏

6⃣ Session 6 ("Autophagy and cancer", Part 1) is now being initiated by @vega_rubin, who is describing their recent discovery of a targetable autophagy-dependent axis in BAP1-mutant cancers. #SEFAGIA2025

7⃣ Last session in #SEFAGIA2025 ("Autophagy and Cancer", Part 2), and we start it with @catiribas_66 showing their results in autophagy-dependent secretion and oral cancer progression.

💊 And we end this part of the session with Elena Tovar, discussing how cannabinoids can enhance the effects of chemotherapy in glioblastoma. #SEFAGIA2025

⛔️ We stay in glioblastoma, with Cristina M. Ramírez showing us her work dissecting the role of microRNAs regulating our favorite pathway in this pathology. #SEFAGIA2025

🧠 We now move to glioblastoma with @halocito (from @ValdorLab), showing us how we can target CMA to hamper the progression of this cancer. #SEFAGIA2025

Spooky cardigan for the occasion

Last few days to register! You won’t want to miss it! Link below 👇🏼

New paper alert!🚨CMA is selectively impaired in the RPE of AMD patients, leading to the accumulation of undegraded substrate proteins and increased vulnerability. But it can be targeted pharmocologically!💊 https://t.co/POil5CT4iG @CIB_CSIC @DohenyEye @patricia_boya

This project has been a huge transatlantic team effort! Special thanks to the Ferrington Lab @DohenyEye, Cuervo Lab @AMCuervoLab @EinsteinMed and all the donors and their families who make research possible @LionsGiftSight. We are in this together! 💪🏻 @WAutophagy @SEFAGIA_

@DohenyEye @AMCuervoLab @EinsteinMed @LionsGiftSight @WAutophagy @SEFAGIA_ Also, huge thanks to the referees and editorial team over at @EmboMolMed @EMBO! Professional handling, open dialogue and sound peer review process 💯

Register for free! And enjoy an incredible symposium organized by women in autophagy 🤗🧠🫰🏻👩🏻‍🔬 #sciencenews #autophagy #STEM #womaninscience
