Yale MB&B's Karla Neugebauer and Guillermina Kubaczka have been featured in a new @natmethods.nature.com piece 🌍🔬

The article spotlights researchers bridging the molecular and planetary scales to address global health challenges.

looking forward to reading this! Love to see an RRM-by-RRM dissection as similar principles are employed by so many multi-RBD proteins.

❗️5 days left to apply for a PhD position in our group👇

Very neat and cool!

Lots of papers out today!

Proud to share the yeast telomerase structure, led by the talented @hongmiaohu.bsky.social in collaboration with the Wellinger and Chartrand labs. Discovered 37 years ago and took us nearly 7 years but totally worth the wait 😍.

mRNA is a key polymer of life. While its sequence is linear, its function requires its 3D organization. Yet what does a mRNA look like in 3D? In collaboration with the fbzt.bsky.social, we developed a method to visualize mRNA in 3D and at the nanoscale inside human cells. tinyurl.com/r858t6ff 1/3

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli invade luminal prostate cells via FimH–PPAP receptor binding - Nature Microbiology Uropathogenic Escherichia coli infection of a murine prostate organoid model reveals a bacterial FimH–host prostatic acid phosphatase adhesin-receptor interaction enabling invasion and replication wit...

Our first paper is out today in @natmicrobiol.nature.com!

We introduce a prostate organoid model and show that UPEC invades prostate cells via FimH binding to the prostate-specific protein PAPP. A step toward targeted therapies against bacterial prostatitis. 🎉
