Happy to see our review on glycosphingolipids in cell identity out in @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social.
We discuss how GSLs shape cell identity, from biosynthesis to function, and how tools like bifunctional #lipids and MALDI-MSI let us study them to new depths.

Glycosphingolipids in cell identity: Biosynthesis, functions, and emerging tools
Cell fate is shaped by external cues and intrinsic cellular states. While supracellular signals, such as growth factors, provide instructive guidance, emerging evidence highlights the role of cell-aut...

Why are biological membranes asymmetric, with different lipids in the two bilayer leaflets? Discovered in the 70s, lipid asymmetry is linked to many cellular processes, but why the cell needs it is largely unclear. @pavelbarahtjan.bsky.social addresses this question: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
