We are facing the biggest challenge in recent history to equal access to education and knowledge. Access to AI tools is a new mechanism for discrimination. All the while these tools are trained without permission on our common good: our thoughts, creativity, data, and intellect.

Huge congratulations to Wieczorek Lab PhD student Bin Cai and now-PI Jingwei Xu @xujw_thu on figuring out the surprisingly complex structure of the A-C linker crosslinking microtubule triplets in Tetrahymena basal body centrioles! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Structure and assembly of the A-C linker connecting microtubule triplets in centrioles

Multiscale cryo-EM of centrioles reveals the structure and polymorphism of the A-C linker connecting microtubule triplets.

We are currently witnessing the complete succumbing to blackmail of the so-called civilized world. The speed of general moral and ethical decline in the name of economic constraints and reasoning is shocking. We must be aware that scientific integrity will not escape untouched.

Cells are filled with toxic stuff that damages healthy proteins. Is that garbage just left to rot on the curb? No way! Ubiquitin ligases have evolved to recognize chemical damage and clean it up! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

C-terminal amides mark proteins for degradation via SCF–FBXO31

Nature - SCF–FBXO31 scans proteins for C-terminal amidation and marks them for subsequent proteasomal degradation.
