🚨 Preprint Alert! 🚨 Ever wondered how the nucleolar genome is protected from oxidative damage? Check our new preprint uncovering a previously unrecognized role of Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) in safeguarding ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from oxidative damage. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🧪 A new method called MagIC-Cryo-EM allows scientists to use powerful #CryoEM techniques to examine proteins that have been difficult to study so far.

FYI - We've extended abstract submission deadline to June 8. Submit soon to be considered for a short talk. Come join us at the first FASEB #Ferroptosis meeting! It's going to be awwwwesome! 🤩 events.faseb.org/event/11797f...

Celebrating my brother’s graduation at The George Washington University for his Master of Engineering in Cloud Computing! Brother Jacques, you made us proud! Your hard work paid off! 🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Reminder: The 1st FASEB #Ferroptosis Meeting is this summer! Spectacular speaker lineup + short talks selected from submitted abstracts. It is going to be awesome! Trainees, newcomers & all interested are welcome! 📅 Abstract deadline: June 1, 2025. shorturl.at/QA6T1

The spring is back for real in Maryland!

The Jiang lab@Moffitt is attending @ASBMB! If you are interested in redox biology and cancer metabolism, check out our posters as listed below on Monday, April 14th, 2025! See you in Chicago! We are hiring now!

Check out our new review paper in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social We summarized recent advances in understanding the complex interplay between DNA damage response and metabolism, focusing on how this crosstalk affects cancer therapy resistance. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Abstracts are due TOMORROW! Please share!

I thank the NCI Center for Cancer Research for shedding light on our most recent publication. ccr.cancer.gov/news/article...

To all the charlatans bragging about curing cancer in 5 years with AI: you have no idea what you’re taking about.

I was hoping that my first bsky post would be more cheerful. I recently joined NIH (NIEHS) as a PO. I fought hard for this position and was so excited to support health science from a new vantage point… I picked up my life and moved to NC. Unfortunately, my time at NIEHS was short lived.

TIRING!

Happy Black History Month!

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Check out our new paper just out in Redox Biology! Leveraging metabolism-focused CRISPR screen, we established a gene dependency map between DNA damage response and metabolism. We identified peroxiredoxin 1 as a key driver of resistance to ATM inhibition. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to co-chair #ASBMB2025 with the incredible Dave Pagliarini! This year’s ASBMB meeting promises to showcase cutting-edge science, foster dynamic collaborations, & inspire new ideas. Don’t miss your chance to be part of it—register & submit your late breaking abstracts. t.co/UwgMdxBo15

About 10 minutes after your first chalk talk with comments like: I don’t see how your work is going to reshape the field. Of course, I don’t know either. 😂😂

Fake news! Please read the entire study. It is fluoride over-exposure, and it is a 1.6 drop in IQ. I don’t want to lose my teeth to adjust to a standard deviation.

Drinking alcohol raises the risk of developing seven types of cancer, according to a new advisory from U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

First post here, how exciting!! 🥳 📣💻[JOB OFFER] I am looking for a postdoc with experience in QM/MM, MD and biosystems, and who would be motivated to study the formation mechanisms of oxydative histone modifications. Please share! #compchem #histones #PTM #redox www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

No offense, but people talk about A.I. and machine learning in 2024 like folks used to talk about microarray in the late 1990’s. They have no idea what they are talking about, but they say it anyway because it sounds smart.

No need for hallucinations, there are still plenty of important open questions in science

Do you want to work as a #postdoc in our group in a Hospital Research Institute in Madrid?🏥🔬 Interested in how #mitochondria and #redox signalling/stress can influence #stroke outcome and #inflammation?🧠💊 Apply up to 26 December at n9.cl/iunkw (ref 72/2024) Full call n9.cl/gijjd Please repost 😉

Excited to announce the next round of the @utaustin.bsky.social Trailblazer Postdoc Symposium. I'd love to see some #devbiol folks join us! Nominate postdocs! Nominate yourself! I Questions? DM me! Please amplify! @socdevbio.bsky.social app.smartsheet.com/b/form/9b7f2...

Don’t like a book? Don’t read it. Pretty simple.

Today the feature is on ROS and R-loops - Hypoxia-driven non-damaging ROS levels lead to R-loop formation. The authors show that ROS-R loop-H3K9Me2 is a key axis regulating chromatin structure and the response to hypoxia. #redoxepigenetics academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

We might finally understand what’s going on inside Uranus and Neptune, and the answer is pretty surprising: They may each contain an ocean of water.
