Upon stress, how do cells downregulate translation of pre-existing, pro-growth mRNAs while allowing translation of new, stress-induced mRNAs? We now show that translation is controlled by a sequence-independent, timing-controlled mechanism. (1/5)

The preferential translation of newly synthesized mRNA permits an elegant coordination between RNA and protein production in eukaryotes when rapid and widescale changes in gene expression are needed. (5/5)

The @dallandrummond lab used orthogonal methods to reach similar conclusions in their recent paper doi.org/10.1101/2024.04.15.5…. We appreciated the fruitful and open discussion of results prior to publication!

We were happy to participate in the #NationalerZukunftstag. Together with the kids we collected samples from nature and explored them under their self-build fold microscope.

Just in case anyone ever had doubts: Biological science is fun! 330 kids between 10 and 13 years of age visited ETH Zurich today for the nationwide "Future Day 2023", and 47 of these were hosted in the D-BIOL to carry out experiments in our labs.
