It’s brutal in academia right now. A lot is out of our control, but it doesn’t cost anything to remember that there are humans behind papers and grants. Reviewers, program officials and funders can be more empathetic in the face of all the chaos in the US scientific enterprise.

Drs. Anna Mae Diehl & Auinash Kalsotra led this study reporting that in alcohol-associated liver disease, alterations in the hepatic immune milieu prevent #hepatocytes from transitioning to proliferative progenitors.

“To write for impact means to keep it as simple as possible.” Good read and very insightful.

In this study, Bangru et al. describe a regulatory switch that controls hepatocyte polyploidization and maturation through the activation of an RNA alternative splicing program that promotes cytokinesis failure and binucleation.

🚨 New research from @KalsotraLab uncovers how ESRP2 drives hepatocyte maturation & polyploidization via the microRNA-122 axis—key for liver #regeneration & #disease resistance. Findings could boost efforts in #regenerative #medicine. @NIAAAnews @czbiohub

This is like AlphaFold, but for protein localisation rather than folding
It's a deep learning model that predicts a protein's subcellular compartment based on its amino acid sequence alone:

Thank you @sarakosman @NatureSMB for featuring our two studies on #MALAT1 & #NEAT1 on the Nov cover! Led by @IliasSkeparnias we describe how #lncRNA partially mimic #tRNA structure for their maturation and #mascRNA #menRNA biogenesis. nature.com/nsmb/volumes/31/i…

AlphaFold can predict protein, DNA, or RNA complexes.. BUT is it easy to determine the reliable interactions?🤔
➡️ AlphaBridge will identify the most confident interactions, making your analysis easier!
