Ever notice that when one gene is disrupted, its orthologs get upregulated? This phenomenon, known as transcriptional adaptation, has been controversial and mysterious - glad to see that we are starting to learn how it works.
And it's out!
Our paper on the optimization of smFISH to quantify cytokine mRNAs in T cells is published in EMBO Journal.
Using this protocol, we gathered interesting insights on cytokine mRNAs co-expression and localization in these teeny tiny human cells.

It's out!
Beautiful work led by Loreto Oyarte Gálvez & @cbisot.bsky.social!
Do you want to learn more about how Mycorrhizal fungi extraordinary networks form and function? Read the open-access publication! Link below 👇
I am giving a lecture at the EMBO practical course: "FISHing for RNAs: classical to single molecule approaches"
Check out this hands-on EMBO course!
Excited to share @domenicnarducci.bsky.social 's paper now out in Mol Cell published back-to-back with the paper from @dewitlab.bsky.social - despite lots of prior work, we find that ZNF143 has no looping function

Indeed, featuring the fusion of some letters (but not all) of the first word of the title of a paper we published last year and my last name. Quite an achievement 😅
MDPI & Frontiers journals blacklisted in Finland, I wonder if this will indeed spread further? Never considered any of these journals for publication, but MDPI surely send funny emails... Maybe I will introduce myself like this 👇 from now on 😂.
"We report that numerous “miRNAs” previously reported in EMT and cancer contexts are not incorporated into RISC and are not capable of endogenously silencing target genes, despite the fact that hundreds of publications in the cancer field describe their roles"

Not easy to describe the emotions of seeing our work published in @cellpress.bsky.social ! We explored how novel isoforms emerge during evolution through the exonization of Transposable Elements. Exonized TEs modify the functions and structures of host proteins.

Excited to share our new work on the earliest steps of Pol-III transcription: We provide structural and kinetic insights into tRNA promoter engagement by yeast transcription factor TFIIIC !
Cool collaboration with the Müller and Eustermann Labs @embl.org !

🧪 Your eyes may deceive you. A study of 3,387 life-science papers from 2023 found nearly 1/3 of bar charts distorted data, often by not starting the y-axis at zero or misusing log scales.
🎉Excited to share our new preprint on Biorxiv 🥳
We uncover how RNA Polymerase III (Pol3) dynamically regulates tRNA transcription during heat shock (HS) stress!
So what did we find? 🧵

Epromoters bind key stress-related transcription factors to regulate clusters of stress response genes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11....
Very cool - snoRNA73 acts as a bridge between mRNAs and 7SL (i.e. the SRP ncRNA) to facilitate the synthesis of the encoded secreted protein.

Did you know that at our conference, we record our Keynote Lectures and make them freely available? You can find them all in our Youtube page!
To get started, check out the 2023 IUBMB Jubilee Lecture, given by Prof. Rachel Green.
Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.
Not necessarily holy, just cool contrast between "then and now" in ribosome assembly landscape understanding. Nierhaus map from the 80s / AV Broeck & Sebastian Clinge in Science 2023.
Can you add me? Assistant prof at Amsterdam UMC. Thanks!
Could you add me? My group work on regulation of Pol III and tRNAs. Thanks!
Next time I speak with Bob, I'll let him know :-)
