Ribosomes moved nearly twice as fast on ac4C-modified mRNA in human and mouse cells, producing more therapeutic protein than the current standard. The work proposes ribosome collisions as a cause of lower output on m1Ψ. doi.org/hcgcrs

Alternative mRNA modification lets ribosomes move nearly twice as fast

In a new study, scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report that an experimental mRNA-based platform has the potential to help deliver next-generation mRNA therapeutics, including vaccines to fight infectious diseases, cancer and autoimmune conditions, faster and more efficiently than the industry standard.

Brazilian scientist Tatiana Sampaio discovers a protein, Polylaminin, that can regenerate spinal cord. This substance aims to create a supportive matrix that encourages damaged neurons to regenerate connections, potentially restoring motor function after severe injuries. Original post

"Although cuts occurred across all regions and institution types, statistical patterns show that early-career investigators—assistant professors, postdoctoral scholars, trainees, and graduate students—were disproportionately affected, as were women" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Intrepid scientists Guillermo Ponz-Segrelles, Christopher Glasby, @helmlab.bsky.social, Patrick Beckers, Jörg Hammel, @rannypribeiro.bsky.social, and @mtaguado.bsky.social examined the creatures more closely and discovered much more about them than was previously known

Integrative anatomical study of the branched annelid Ramisyllis multicaudata (Annelida, Syllidae)

The sponge-dwelling Syllidae Ramisyllis multicaudata and Syllis ramosa are the only annelid species for which a branched body with one head and multiple posterior ends is known. In these species, the...

Well, if it’s 4 April, it must be... yes, of course: the fifth anniversary of the publication of a paper which told us much more about the branched annelid Ramisyllis multicaudata and its many, many arseholes than we knew before 🧵

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky

Synopsis. Social media has become widely used by the scientific community for a variety of professional uses, including networking and public outreach. For

This is a must watch. Here is an interview of Francis Collins, former director of the NIH w/ Stephen Colbert. He ran the NIH for 12 years. "Medical miracles don't happen overnight. You have to invest in them. "Our investments are in trouble." The brain drain is here. 🧪 youtu.be/lW9c6t4potU?...

Global patterns and drivers of untracked industrial fishing in coastal marine protected areas

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are expanding worldwide, but industrial fishing within their boundaries remains poorly understood. By combining vessel Global Positioning System data with satellite image...
