Mechanisms linking cytoplasmic decay of translation-defective mRNA to transcriptional adaptation Transcriptional adaptation (TA) is a genetic robustness mechanism through which mutant messenger RNA (mRNA) decay induces sequence-dependent up-regulation of so-called adapting genes. How cytoplasmica...

This is a fascinating paper that reveals defined and clear mechanism for a phenomenon that for some seemed unbelievable- the up regulation of genes paralogous to those with specific types of inactivating mutations. This is called transcriptional adaptation 1/ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Attention RNA biology and antisense therapy folks: this is HUUUUUUGE!!! Termination windows as therapeutic opportunity!

First day of the #Microbiome Symposium at #Georg-Speyer-Haus organized by LOEWE-FCI professor Canan Arkan was a great success.
Thanks to all speakers & supporters (Cathrin Schleussner from Schleussner Stiftung and Martin Zörnig, Else-Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung).
Looking forward to the second day!

RNA innate immunity constitutes a barrier for interspecies chimerism Interspecies PSC co-culture induces horizontal RNA transfer that activates innate immunity in “winner” mouse cells, a response that is alleviated by Mavs deletion, thereby enhancing “loser” human PSC survival and chimerism.

Now online! RNA innate immunity constitutes a barrier for interspecies chimerism

Nuclear-import receptors remodel the dilute phase to suppress phase transitions of RNA-binding proteins with prion-like domains. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with prion-like domains, including FUS, hnRNPA1, and hnRNPA2, assemble into functional, metastable condensates that organize ribostasis, but can also transition into self-t...

A screenshot of a post by the Jane Goodall Institute on LinkedIn stating that they learned that Dr. Goodall passed away due to natural causes in California while on her speaking to her current speaking tour there.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

Excited to share our first preprint! We developed an image-based pooled screen to uncover regulators of HP1 condensates and discovered a link with intronic RNA and RNA processing. 👏 Congrats to all authors, especially Matthew, Shaopu & Chris!

🚀 Our new paper is out @natmethods.nature.com!

Kuffer & Marzilli engineered conditionally stable MS2 & PP7 coat proteins (dMCP & dPCP) that degrade unless bound to RNA, enabling ultra–low-background, single-mRNA imaging in live cells.
