Breathtaking photos are coming down to Earth from NASA’s historic Artemis II mission, after its four astronauts flew around the far side of the Moon yesterday. Prepare to be dazzled. go.nature.com/3O4xRdm

First photos from Artemis II: see stunning 'Earthset' and more

Images snapped during a flyby capture a solar eclipse and unprecedented details of the far side of the Moon.

We are looking for RNA enthusiasts to join us at the @uniregensburg.bsky.social as a junior group leader! Our university offer excellent infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for ground breaking RNA research. Please RT @jrrnascientists.bsky.social @rnasociety.bsky.social

The iCLIP3 protocol was developed by Vlado Despic in a close and fun collaboration with @koenig-lab.bsky.social and @zarnack-group.bsky.social. The protocol was inspired by and successfully tested in the @embo.org #iCLIPcourse thanks to Elias Bechara, Chris Sibley and @rosario-avolio.bsky.social

Michaela Müller-McNicoll@mixmue.bsky.social · 5mo ago

We are excited to share our new preprint: iCLIP3 — an improved protocol for transcriptome-wide mapping of protein–RNA interactions at single-nucleotide resolution.

Our new Äkta has arrived 😀 thanks #Cytiva @uniregensburg.bsky.social

A warm welcome to the new members of Caliskan-RIBOLAB Komal and Benjamin @rainaaak.bsky.social @uniregensburg.bsky.social looking forward to exciting discoveries on #RNA 🥳🥳🥳

Many proteins bind RNA, yet we still don’t know what RNAs most bind because methods map one RBP at a time. In @cp-cell.bsky.social, with the Jovanovic lab, we describe SPIDR – a method for mapping the RNA binding sites of dozens of RBPs in a single experiment. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great to see the C-Trap now part of your lab at @uniregensburg.bsky.social! We can’t wait to see the amazing data and RNA research coming out of it! Single-molecule and RNA enthiusiastics nearby, don’t miss the upcoming Single-Molecule Mini Symposium & C-Trap Launch event! 🎉

At the @University of Regensburg we push the boundaries of RNA research to single molecule and atomic level. With the support of @dfg.de we recently acquired our new @lumicks.bsky.social C-Trap instrument, an advanced optical tweezers platform that enables real-time, single-molecule analysis.

Finally, sun decided to come out and compete with the dazzling science in San Diego #RNA2025 @rnasociety.bsky.social. Wonderful to catch up with RNA Salon organisers!

Regensburger RNA folks at the #RNA2025! We thank all the organizers for this fantastic meeting. See you all next time! @rnasociety.bsky.social @jrrnascientists.bsky.social #uniregensburg

I look forward to hearing exciting #RNA science and new connections at the 30th Annual Meeting in San Diego! Let's connect 🙌 @rnasociety.bsky.social

Hey Bluesky! 🌤️ We just flew in from elsewhere and are eager to explore the region here! 🐦 Please re-share this post so we can follow you and help grow the single-molecule and cell avidity communities on here! 🔬⚗️

Können #Viren nicht nur schaden, sondern auch nützen? Eine neue Studie kartiert die Billionen Viren, die unseren Körper besiedeln & eine große Rolle für unsere #Gesundheit spielen. So schützen einige mglw. sogar vor Hautkrebs. @tagesspiegel.de berichtet darüber. www.tagesspiegel.de/gesundheit/f...

Forscher starten große Untersuchung: Können Viren uns auch nützlich sein?

Nicht nur Bakterien, auch zahllose Viren leben im menschlichen Körper. Wo genau sie vorkommen und was sie dort tun, das wollen Wissenschaftler jetzt ganz genau wissen.

There's still time to REGISTER for the RNA Society Virtual Event, tomorrow March 6th 2025 at 11 AM ET/ 5 PM CET. I look forward talking about my role as a director at the RNA Society and how my career in science was shaped. @belenmoro.bsky.social @rnasociety.bsky.social @uniregensburg.bsky.social

Feinschliff für die #CRISPR-Technologie: Forschende des @helmholtz-hiri.bsky.social & HZI haben den Wirkmechanismus des Anti-CRISPR-Proteins AcrVIB1 entschlüsselt. Zukünftig könnten dadurch CRISPR-Systeme in verschiedenen Anwendungen reguliert werden. www.helmholtz-hzi.de/media-center...

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately

The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Our paper on Stopless-ORF Circular RNAs (socRNAs) is now out in Cell. By high-res tracking and comparing translation by either single or multiple ribosomes, we find that ribosomes cooperate to overcome pausing to ensure fast and efficient translation www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Long-term imaging of individual ribosomes reveals ribosome cooperativity in mRNA translation

Ribosomes cooperate through transient collisions to ensure efficient translation.
