A lot of action at the @EMBO India lecture course here on Structure, Function&Quality Control of Proteins in Cell Organelles. ~150 young people came together to learn about what's happening to proteins in cell organelles+their career's next moves while enjoying Hyd's culture.

The Indian funding system is seeing a shift with @ANRFIndia. We had an engaging discussion with ANRF CEO, @shivkuma_k during his latest Hyd visit. We discussed funding for fundamental and translational sciences+insights into potential solutions for research challenges in univs.

The study resolves long-standing debates on gibbon evolution. It utilizes ancient DNA to rewrite the history of an extinct "imperial" ape. It helps understand how climate shaped gibbon evolution and design their conservation strategies. 2/2

Wonder why gibbons have such long arms? A groundbreaking study on gibbon genomes reveals that a gene, Sonic Hedgehog, is responsible for their iconic elongated limbs. @gupathy's lab contributed by studying the Indian gibbon genomes. https://t.co/1BJdIdKotK 1/2

Despite the vast information that our biology textbooks tell us about cells and cell organelles, so much of it is still mysterious. Like, mitochondria - they do more than producing energy for the cell. How? Read on this piece by @PoojithaPothar2.
Mitochondria aren’t just the “powerhouses” of the cell. These tiny organelles also guard our immunity, detecting pathogens, sounding alarms, and powering immune cells. Read more: https://t.co/F5gv5SnnZu | Written by Sai Poojitha About the image- Mitochondria in action by Odra

Koga said they must have evolved from a common ancestor with both kinds of lipids in its membranes. Sankaranarayanan extends the same to explain lipid composition differences of membranes of various cell types. There was not one but multiple lipid divide events in evolution. 3/3

The lipid divide hypothesis was first proposed by Yosuke Koga to explain differences in bacterial and archaeal membranes. These two oldest unicellular organisms found on earth have significantly different lipids in their membranes. 2/3

In this perspective article by @DrSankarCCMB and colleagues expand on the Lipid Divide Hypothesis to point at not one but multiple lipid divide events in eukaryotic evolution: https://t.co/KCUfmkQ9rV But what is this hypothesis? Read on. 1/3 @CSIR_IND @SudiptaCCMB @Sankar_Lab

Lipids are fundamental to life, serving not only as membrane components but also as key players in signaling, energy storage, and cellular identity. While the well-known “lipid divide” between...
