I’m thrilled to share that my PhD work has been just published in Cell. After a long and bumpy ride, we uncovered the core function of nuclear speckles -splicing of GC-levelled exons- and traced the evolution of this gene architecture and condensates themselves to amniotes.
Our most recent work on the “function and evolution” of #nuclear-speckles is now online at Cell @cp-cell.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Read the thread👇 for the highlights of our findings.

Re-adenylation by TENT5A enhances efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines - Nature
Upon intramuscular administration, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are primarily taken up by macrophages, in which the cellular machinery extends their poly(A) tails, thereby increasing mRNA stability and translation, providing an explanation for the efficacy of these vaccines.

Państwo, które rezygnuje z nagradzania jakości i odwagi konkurowania w nauce, samo ogranicza swoje aspiracje i ustępuje miejsca przy światowym stole. System powinien wzmacniać, a nie wyrównywać w dół – pisze dziś w FA prof. Magdalena Musiał-Karg z Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu ⬇️

Academics should really consider moving off X. Staying there is giving the platform credibility, so it can algorithmically disseminate propaganda. I logged into X from polish IP recently and was appalled by the level of pro-russian and anti-EU propaganda directly in my feed.

Researchers have engineered magnetically controlled fluorescent proteins that can be remotely dimmed and brightened in cells and living animals go.nature.com/3NUSY12
‘Remote controlled’ proteins illuminate living cells
The discovery that some fluorescent proteins are sensitive to magnets could lead to the development of switchable drugs and biosensors.
