Con motivo del día internacional de las mujeres y las niñas en ciencia, recupero esta iniciativa que tuvimos en la SEBP, esperando a que se consolide. Feliz día.

La LOSU estableix que les universitats han de dotar-se d’un nou Estatut per complir la seva missió. Aquest matí, la UB ha aprovat el seu nou Estatut, després d’un procediment molt rigorós i altament participatiu. Una jornada històrica, en directe per UBtv www.ub.edu/ubtv/index.p...
Glad to be in the list. "La Universitat de Barcelona té 157 investigadors entre els més influents del món" - Actualitat - Universitat de Barcelona web.ub.edu/web/actualit...
I’m happy that our commentary is out! (It would be wonderful if this made a difference!)

A paywall to have access to the data collected at TAIR.
Some complain a lot about paywalls in scientific literature, but say nothing on this another paywall at #TAIR $UsageUnits #ScienceBusiness
Jóvenes investigadores/as de Biología de Plantas! Últimos días para optar al Premio Sabater 2025 de la SEBP. 🏆+ info sebp.es/premio-sabat... Please RT!!
Polyamines are natural compounds present in all living organisms. You have polyamines, too.
Money makes the world go round
How do leaf cell types respond to drought, and how does this vary among leaves of a rosette? Single-nucleus RNA seq of 600+ individual leaves along a drought time course
COP9 SIGNALOSOME SUBUNIT 5A facilitates POLYAMINE OXIDASE 5 degradation to regulate strawberry plant growth and fruit ripening (Yun Huang, Jiahui Gao, Guiming Ji, Wenjing Li, Jiaxue Wang, Qinghua Wang, Yuanyue Shen, Jiaxuan Guo, Fan Gao) https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koaf022 @ASPB #PlantScience

Polyamines and flg22 reshape the ribosomal protein composition of actively translating ribosomes in plants. Thanks to all co-authors for the wonderful collaboration. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The door to the main lecture hall of the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research. Above the black wooden door are metallic letters showing the new name of the hall: "Jeff Schell Lecture Hall".
A photo of the front wall inside the lecture theatre at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research. A large plant is in the middle of the picture. To the left of the plant are two busts of the heads of Max Planck and Erwin Bauer. To the right of the plant is a portrait of Jeff Schell.
Today, Director @raphmercier.bsky.social officially announced the new name of the main lecture hall at the MPIPZ Cologne:
"Jeff Schell Lecture Hall"
If you're wondering how Jeff earned the honor, have a look at my Short History of Plant Transformation:

Our latest @pnas.org! Preventing inappropriate signals pre- and post-ligand perception by a toggle switch mechanism of the plant receptor kinase ERECTA.
Its unique C-terminal alpha-helix domain inhibits the receptor active state. Congrats, all!🌱🥰

The latest version of Activity Metabolomics and Mass Spectrometry (AMMS 2025) is now in the proof stage. AMMS 2025 has two new chapters, lipids, and a lot of polishing. Still free as a PDF, and as royalty-free print version on Amazon.
Coming as soon as we get the proofs (and are happy with them).
Imagine how this will be in 50 years
Trapping of spermine, Kukoamine A, and polyamine toxin blockers in GluK2 kainate receptor channels. @NatureComms Check the #cryoEM #structure of this #membrane #protein in UniTmp: https://pdbtm.unitmp.org/entry/9dxs
Targeting #mitochondrial oxidative stress and polyamine synthesis can attenuate the #senescence via the unfolded protein response (UPR)
Why is is this important? Senescent cells in your brain can drive up inflammation + dementia

Original (?) report of spermine precipitation for highly selective precipitation of DNA, back in 1981 - based on polyamine collapse of DNA chains and great for excluding stubborn contaminants and obtaining clean DNA. Don't know why it is not more widely used...

Dear reviewers. Reviewing is not writing a wishing list of impossible workload. I never did that.

Capturing carbon from the air #Nature
"The new porous material for capturing carbon dioxide, called a covalent organic framework, has hexagonal channels decorated with polyamines that efficiently bind carbon dioxide molecules at concentrations found in ambient air."

We’re out in Nature !! doi.org/ntzk Very exciting for my first bluesky post! – it’s been a long haul by an excellent team from across Europe, led by @frantecol.bsky.social
Ideas for a Xmas gift for your lab mates. #metabolomics
