The publication of this paper has me emerging from my twitter lurker shell to actually tweet! So happy to see our work in its beautiful final form. This was a “huh these data are super consistent, are we sure this is real?” type project. Dear reader, they were and it was. Enjoy!
Announcing our publication featuring Sarah Shelby @ss_shelbs with @leventallab in @nchembio! https://t.co/bjXsE6zXEi or https://t.co/6YcdBjtZLT TLDR: functional lipid rafts driven by membrane phase separation exist in live cell membranes, but with an unexpected twist! #lipidtime

New #lipidtime paper in @jbiolchem where we ask what lipids drive the yeast vacuole membrane to organize into ordered membrane domains - probably the clearest example of so called 'lipid rafts' in live cell membranes (1/3) https://t.co/pYjohe1tp0

The yeast vacuole membrane can phase separate into ordered and disordered domains, a phenomenon that is required for micro-lipophagy under nutrient limitation. Despite its importance as a biophysical...

So happy and proud to see this in print. Almost 4yrs from conception to publication, but worth the wait! Checkout Tweetorial below!! Coupling of protein condensates to ordered lipid domains determines functional membrane organization

Membrane-associated protein condensates couple to ordered membrane domains to functionally organize T-cell plasma membranes.

Neat, quick summary of beautiful recent paper by @VeatchLab and @ss_shelbs. Will only take you 2min to read... but be warned, you'll then want to read the whole paper.
