🔥⚡️Excited to share the publication of our latest study, where we have uncovered the molecular mechanisms that govern the reactivity of quiescent T cells in early human life. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

LINE1 modulate human T cell function by regulating protein synthesis during the life span

The levels of LINE1 expression regulate the rate of protein synthesis throughout the human life span.

To kick off #NobelPrize2024 week, we looked at the data to see what type of scientist reliably scoops medals. For starters: Location matters. To give yourself the best chance of winning a Nobel, you should ideally be born in North America and stay there. nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

Still in time for my #PostdocAppreciationWeek message, saying a massive thank you to star postdoc @smamante1, without whom the lab would fall apart. Sam is driving two projects in parallel, keeps the lab in order and is always willing to help and support others.
