Oligomeric RNA cryoEM structures revealed by Zhaoming Su and colleagues @science.org. Structural motifs that contribute to RNA multivalency: kissing loop, palindromic base-pairing, A-stacking, metal coordination, pseudoknot, minor-groove. First glimpse into molecular interactions of RNA multivalency

Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.

I’m having similar conversations and sharing international opportunities a lot. I’m sure for a lot of US based trainees that feels overwhelming. I moved to Europe for my postdoc.Happy to chat with any trainees about my experience if it would be helpful.

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.

Thrilled to see this paper out!! 🧪 Spatial transcriptomics of brain aging and 'spatial aging clocks' identify cells that have pro-aging or pro-rejuvenating effects on their neighbors! Huge CONGRATS to Eric Sun and all authors! Fantastic collaboration with @jameszou.bsky.social! rdcu.be/d33uQ 🧵

Spatial transcriptomic clocks reveal cell proximity effects in brain ageing

Nature - A spatially resolved single-cell transcriptomics map of the mouse brain at different ages reveals signatures of ageing, rejuvenation and disease, including ageing effects associated with T...
