Is our gut epithelium a little cracked ? Turns out—yes🤯 , and especially around goblet cells! Check out the new preprint from our very talented neighbors @cbitoulouse.bsky.social👇
🥳 Thrilled to share our lab's first preprint, led by our talented postdoc Justine Creff! 👩🏻🔬 We tackled a fundamental question: how the epithelium withstands mechanical stress at the interface of cells with distinct geometries and mechanics, such as enterocytes (E) and goblet cells (G) (1/9)

Ribosomal RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase I is regulated by premature termination of transcription. Azouzi et al 2024 @cbitoulouse.bsky.social, bioRxiv doi.org/10.1101/2023.11.27.568781, peer reviewed by Review Commons eeb.embo.org/doi/10.1101/2023.11.27.568781.
Ribosomal RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase I is regulated by premature termination of transcription
The RNA polymerase I (Pol I) enzyme that synthesizes large rRNA precursors, exhibits high rate of pauses during elongation, indicative of a discontinuous process. We show here that Premature Terminati...
