Our work investigating mRNA 3' UTRs that trigger target-directed miRNA degradation is now published! genesdev.cshlp.org/content/earl...
Agreed but not a Chinese proverb ;)
Congrats Mike and to the teams for this amazing work!
New @yalembb.bsky.social student Han Yin joins the lab for PhD thesis research. Han received his BS in Biology from Peking University @pku1898.bsky.social, where he worked on membrane protein structure, electrophysiology, and of course, RNA. Welcome, Han! @yaleneuro.bsky.social @yalerna.bsky.social
Our work on the E3 ligase mechanism of target-directed microRNA degradation is now published! Amazing collaboration with Brenda Schulman’s lab led by @jakobfarnung.bsky.social and @elenaslo.bsky.social, with special thanks to @wyppeter.bsky.social, Lianne Blodgett, and Daniel Lin! tinyurl.com/Z8TDMD
We are recruiting a post-bac researcher to join our lab in Yale MCDB! Ideal for a recent college grad looking to get in-depth research experience and mentoring in genetics & cell/molecular biology, working on exciting cilia-related projects. Details: breslowlab.yale.edu/news/post-gr...
Congratulations to The Brain Prize winners Prof. David Ginty (Harvard Medical School, US) and Patrik Ernfors (Karolinska Institutet, SE) for their pioneering work on how the nervous system detects and processes touch and pain:

Color photograph of Joan Steitz (Joan Argetsinger Steitz), the distinguished American molecular biologist and biochemist renowned for her groundbreaking discoveries in RNA biology, including the identification of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) essential to RNA splicing. She is pictured in a close-up portrait within a laboratory or research setting, smiling warmly and directly at the camera with an engaging, approachable expression that conveys enthusiasm and expertise. Steitz has gray hair pulled back, striking blue eyes, and is wearing large, elaborate dangling earrings adorned with purple gemstones and metallic accents. She is dressed in a rich purple blouse. The softly blurred background includes scientific elements such as lab benches, equipment, monitors, charts, and partial signage, evoking the environment of her long career at Yale University where she served as Sterling Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. #JoanSteitz #MolecularBiology #WomenInScience #Biochemistry #RNA
Biochemist/molecular biologist Joan Steitz was born #OTD in 1941.
She (& team) figured out how our cells read/use genetic instructions to make proteins. A key person who helped crack the code on RNA—the molecule that acts like a messenger between DNA & and the proteins our bodies need. #WomenInSTEM
Congratulations Cate!

Excited to publish our work on how mutations in the muscle-specific ribosomal protein RPL3L drive severe heart disease. This is Part I of a larger body of work led by Michael - stay tuned for Part II on how specialized ribosomes function in normal physiology www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Awesome! Congratulations Xuebing!
The Wu Tsai Institute at Yale University is hiring!

New article @natneuro.nature.com by @yaleneuro.bsky.social Suzhou Yang & @kavliatyale.bsky.social Postdoc Fellow @zhenlei.bsky.social, highlighting studies by @frattalab.bsky.social Gitler & La Spada labs on the role of TDP-43 on mRNA 3' end in ALS @yalerna.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Colliding ribosomes are potent signals of cellular stress. But do cells use ‘programmed’ ribosome collisions to regulate gene expression? I’m excited to present a new story from my lab led by Frederick Rehfeld(@fred-rehfeld.bsky.social) which revealed that the answer is YES! Read on to find out how👇
