New work in a great team effort with the @poepsel-lab.bsky.social. We identified novel interactors of AIFM1 and found that this protein once only associated with cell death is a master organizer of the mito-IMS: By interaction with AK2 and SLC25 family members ensuring metabolic adaptation.

Rubio says U.S. will 'aggressively' revoke visas for many Chinese students The announcement to revoke visas is the most drastic move yet to curtail the numbers of international students studying in the U.S.

I have had the privilege to train many chinese students over many years. They enriched our lives and did great science. Many are still here and contribute to the US scientific enterprise. The push to revoke student visas is cruel and unnecessary. We must push back.

Structural mechanism of LINE-1 target-primed reverse transcription Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) retrotransposons are the only active autonomous transposable elements in humans. They propagate by reverse transcribing their mRNA into new genomic locations by a ...

Excited to share our latest work, led by the incredible @automnenine.bsky.social (now an Ass. Prof. at Princeton)! We uncover key insights into the retrotransposition mechanisms of LINE-1 ORF2p, the enzyme responsible for writing a significant portion of our genome.
