This is shocking (but also not terribly surprising)! Blatant manipulation of antibody validation data on the Thermo website... As Mulder said, trust no-one 👽

Reese Richardson@reeserichardson.bsky.social · 2mo ago

TL;DR: We've identified more than 100 cases of apparent manipulation in Thermo Fisher Scientific's antibody verification data. @sholtodavid.bsky.social @johanduchene.bsky.social reeserichardson.blog/2026/05/28/h...

How does #herpes hijack a human phosphatase to promote virus replication? We have a new @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint showing how #HSV and #VZV use a novel motif to compete with canonical cellular #PP1 adaptors. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵👇

Alphaherpesvirus pUL21 homologues use non-canonical motifs to compete with cellular adaptors for protein phosphatase 1 binding

Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a key regulator of cellular phosphorylation and its activity is regulated via binding to cellular regulatory proteins via conserved short linear motifs (SLiMs). The herp...

Q for the hive-mind 🧠: What transfection reagents do people like for big constructs these days? (I am thinking #HSV encoding BACs, ~170 kb). We've recently had poor performance with Trans-IT LT1 and Lipofectamine 2000, our two go-tos. Target cells are U2OS. Suggestions or RTs greatly appreciated 🙏

Over 150 participants from 23 countries came to Varna, Bulgaria for the 2025 FEBS Special Meeting/13th ICC. Five days of outstanding science, networking, socializing, and community! We are grateful to all the sponsors and look forward to the next one!

Absolutely delighted and privileged to have been appointed as a new group leader at @thecimr.bsky.social this week. The Dickens lab will be up and running later this year, continuing to understand mechanisms of disease in genetic forms of pulmonary fibrosis.
