Acetylated tubulin is essential for touch sensation in mice

Kai Johnsson, Luc Reymond, Antonino Asaro

At its most fundamental level, touch sensation requires the translation of mechanical energy into mechanosensitive ion channel opening, thereby generating electro-chemical signals. Our understanding of this process, especially how the cytoskeleton influenc ...

Genetic targeting of chemical indicators in vivo

Kai Johnsson, Luc Reymond, Antonino Asaro

Fluorescent protein reporters have become the mainstay for tracing cellular circuitry in vivo but are limited in their versatility. Here we generated Cre-dependent reporter mice expressing the Snap-tag to target synthetic indicators to cells. Snap-tag labe ...

Optical Control of Membrane Viscosity Modulates ER-to-Golgi Trafficking

Antonino Asaro

The lipid composition of cellular membranes is highly dynamic and undergoes continuous remodeling, affecting the biophysical properties critical to biological function. Here, we introduce an optical approach to manipulate membrane viscosity based on an exo ...

Single cell lipid biology

Giovanni D'Angelo, Antonino Asaro, Agostina Crotta Asis

Lipids are major cell constituents endowed with astonishing structural diversity. The pathways responsible for the assembly and disposal of different lipid species are energetically demanding, and genes encoding lipid metabolic factors and lipid-related pr ...
