Researchers analyzing the spike protein of #SARSCoV2 before viral entry identified three “shielded” hinges in the spike that may allow it to scan the host cell surface while avoiding antibodies, thanks to glycan shielding. Read the study in Science: fcld.ly/c4jan4h

Congratulations to Mike Hall @biozentrum @UniBasel_en and Prof. David Sabatini @MIT for receiving the Sjöberg Prize 2020 for the discovery of mTOR and its role in the control of cell metabolism and growth.
Michael Hall and David Sabatini will receive the Sjöberg Prize 2020. They have radically changed ideas about cell growth, and laid the foundation for new forms of cancer treatment. #WorldCancerDay #SjöbergPrize @biozentrum @MITBiology @UniBasel_en @MIT youtube.com/watch?v=nFqsPWpv…

Aren't those sunrises just liberating in #Zurich? DJ Muller should move there ;-)
Deliberately positive - sun rising over Zurich, lake, Alps and of course ⁦@ETH_en⁩ and ⁦@UZH_en
