Those who rest, rust ;) - iron metabolism licenses adult stem cell fate and drives aging. How? Have a look at the new work of Drs. Yun-Ruei Christine Kao and Jiahao Chen @The_Will_Lab @EinsteinMed @EinsteinCellBio @Einstein_SCI

Academics about to clock off for the holiday season inundated with requests to review papers, grants, editorial work etc., it's OK to say "no" or "I can't do it now, but this is when I can do it". We're academics, not robots. Wishing all a peaceful holiday season #AcademicChatter

Finally out!
We found that mRNAs are not uniformly distributed across the cytoplasm.
mRNA architecture is the strongest determinant for localization.
Subcytoplasmic location of translation controls protein output.

15 years since I signed up on a site that I barely understood the purpose of. How could one express oneself on a micro-blog limited to 140 characters? And why would anyone use it instead of blogger/wordpress/myspace? Ah, time...π€π«‘

Thrilled to announce our paper @Nature, >10 yrs in the making! I led an amazing team to finally crack structures and mechanisms of LINE-1, with implications for cancer, autoimmunity, and other diseases. We made a video abstract with @visualscience narrated by my mentor @JefBoeke

From one Ash to another...goodbye, for now, and so good to meet up again after 4 long years. While I'm saddened to say bye, I'm looking forward to heading home π¦πΊ and handing a small momento of San Diego to my #1 fan πΆ, keenly awaiting her dad's return #ASH23

Exciting times #AI & genomics, gene prediction field, great collab with @stark_lab. Using transfer deep learning to make completely synthetic enhancers with predicted activity (tissue and stage in embryos). Check out the back-to-back complementary lovely paper from @steinaerts
12 Dec 2023
Today, we - @stark_lab and @Eileen_Furlong lab (@EMBLheidelberg) - report the design of 40 synthetic enhancers for 5 tissue types in fruit fly embryos, in vivo. With only a few hundred enhancers per tissue for training, we adopt a stepping-stone transfer-learning approach: (5/N)

What is the function of alternative splicing in the proteome? What cellular functions does it impact? Our review (rdcu.be/dsryX)
just published in @NatureSMB suggests splicing impacts almost every cellular process. Fantastic work by @kjer_peter! A short 𧡠below
