The approaches used to understand fundamental folding problems were remarkable, at least to outsiders like us! We thought we were being quantitative… but puny compared to biophysicists!

Replying to @AmnonHorovitz
@AmnonHorovitz is speaking to us at #EMBOCCMB25 about his work on thermodynamics of protein folding in encapsulated structures within the cell, highlighting the key deterministic factors resposible for selection of specific substrate proteins. @EMBO @ccmb_csir

Ever wondered how injuries in tissues such as skeletal muscles are healed? Did you know that dormant stem cells in adults help repair and regenerate these damaged tissues? The Indian Society of Cell Biology, in association with Cactus, invites you to a free webinar on “Quiescent muscle cells are active communicators” led by Prof. Jyotsna Dhawan. Join us as we explore how signals from damaged cells activate the quiescent stem cells and discover how this communication effects the maintenance of tissues. Book your seat now: airmeet.com/e/49c74a60-7811-… 💸 Registration: FREE for all participants Topic: Quiescent muscle cells are active communicators Speaker: Dr Jyotsna Dhawan, CCMB Hyderabad Moderator: Dr Debdeep Dutta, IIT Kanpur Date: November 15, 2025 Time: 5:30 PM IST Language: English Duration: 1 hour What You Will Learn: ✅The importance of communication between cells to build and maintain skeletal tissues. ✅How complex signals are released in the form of tiny extracellular vesicles called exosomes. ✅How differentiated cells choose from the large number of exosomes released by dormant cells. ✅What our understanding of these quiescent muscle cells means for tissue maintenance. Dr. Jyotsna Dhawan | Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology Dr. Jyotsna Dhawan is an Emeritus Scientist at the Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, where she has been a key researcher since 1996. Her work focuses on the cell biology of quiescence and skeletal muscle regeneration. She earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Cell Biology from Boston University School of Medicine and completed her postdoctoral research at Stanford University. With a distinguished career in molecular and cellular biology, she continues to contribute to advancing understanding of muscle stem cell biology. REGISTER TODAY! We look forward to welcoming you to this enriching session! @ccmb_csir @bhupro @Cactusglobal @NitinRammohan @majhi_ra @indian_hydra @saip_pydi @biopatrika @surithakur86 @abandopa @DebdeepDutta21 @ANRF @DBTIndia @bushraiitk @IndiaBioscience @IITKanpur @mfcem_iitk @BSBEIITK1 @ugc_india @CSJM_U

Excited to share that our study on SanA (a previously uncharacterized protein) is now published! Through comprehensive genetic analyses, we reveal that SanA acts as a negative regulator of peptidoglycan synthesis in the periplasmic space. #peptidoglycan journals.plos.org/plosgeneti…
