Our new study is out! 🎉🚀 Annulate lamellae aren’t just static reservoirs, they dynamically supply pre-assembled nuclear pores to the nucleus (~1/3 of new NPCs) in normal somatic cells. A new pathway for nuclear pore assembly supporting nuclear expansion. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4188…

Great news! 🥳 The ERC Scientific Council has considered the concerns raised by the scientific community regarding the new restrictions on resubmission after rejection and has decided to revert to the previously applied resubmission rules (for most of the grants). It is very encouraging to see the Council engage constructively in this dialogue.

Our own Dr. Xiaotian Liu presented a talk on the role of asymmetric dimethylation in nuclear pore assembly at the #EESNucleus EMBO meeting. We couldn’t be prouder 🤓😎😁😁

Wir sollten 1 Milliarde für ME/CFS Forschung investieren. Die Krankheit kostet uns 30 Mrd. pro Jahr. Junge Menschen bringen sich um, so stark ist ihr Leid. Jetzt hat auch noch Trump die Forschung gekürzt. Ohne deutlich mehr Forschung gibt es keine Hoffnung spiegel.de/politik/deutschla…

A 46-year-old. Dying from heart failure. No donor heart in sight. Then doctors did the unthinkable—they stitched a tiny, lab-grown patch onto her still-beating heart. No transplant. No machine. Just living tissue, regenerating her heart from the inside. Here's the full story:
