The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes:
🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting
🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)
Seipin: a central lipid rheostat. New review from Abdou Rachid Thiam (@abdourachidthiam.bsky.social) and Maxime Carpentier @cnrs.fr @sorbonne-universite.fr:

@abdourachidthiam.bsky.social and Carpentier review seipin's role in directing lipid fate, proposing it as a multinode rheostat that manages PA, ceramide, and Ca²⁺ flux at organelle contact sites to control metabolic branchpoints. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Happy to share our review of seipin as a lipid rheostat, not just a #lipiddroplet biogenesis factor. Its flexible structure, with cofactors and ligands, integrates metabolic cues at organelle contacts, coordinating lipid storage, membrane synthesis, and signaling.

Thiam and Carpentier review seipin as a conformationally dynamic lipid rheostat that steers lipid fate and preserves cellular metabolic balance.
