Excited to share our new bioRxiv preprint, where we find that regulated opening of the seipin ring defines a functional ER–lipid droplet interface — and identify SMLR1 as a regulator of this transition. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.06.22.733769v123 Jun 2026 17:31 +0000at://did:plc:3lh7dfxh2xtfoadpurmduqpr/app.bsky.feed.post/3moxwkj4awc27https://bsky.app/profile/veijosalo.bsky.social/post/3mnzzhdz25224So exciting!

Really, this is incredible science, do check it out even if not interested in bcateria or translocation or folding or proteomics or bioinfomartics or even in-cell cryo-ET.
