Fantastic seminar today by Norbert Pardi from @upenn.edu who did the pioneering work with Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman to unlock mRNA nanoparticules. mRNA nanoparticules are the therapeutics of tomorrow!

🔥Really cool work by our neighbors @dfachinetti.bsky.social together with Stanford's only @naltemose.bsky.social showcasing the ability to tune DNA methylation specifically in centromeric DNA, in turn affecting the identity and functionality of centromeres.

Erika Valeri & Moriz Gaidt @impvienna.bsky.social put together a very nice "Spotlights" piece in the latest issue of Molecular Cell @cp-molcell.bsky.social about the antiviral defense system VICAR and some of the avenues of research it opens. 🙏 to the authors www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Thrilled to be part of the late 2025 roster of @globalimmuno.bsky.social See you all on November 26th! Thanks so much to the organisers for putting this together.

Really cool highlight of our work @cp-cell.bsky.social describing VICAR, a novel antiviral defense system in humans, where centromeres take the center stage. Thank you so much Fumiko @esashilab.bsky.social for your insightful review and the beautiful working model.

Absolutely fascinating work! 🔥 The more you think, the more intrigued. We featured it in our highlight 🔗 rdcu.be/eyOGc - such a cool twist in the host–virus warfare. Many congrats to @manellab.bsky.social‬

Happy to let you know that the plasmids (except one, pending QC) from our study describing the VICAR antiviral defense system are now available through @addgene.bsky.social here: www.addgene.org/browse/artic... Thanks @addgene.bsky.social for making this possible!

Trans...genes! Celebrating upcoming publication from @audeber.bsky.social and Enzo Poirier at the unique Learning Center Institute in Paris

Thrilled to share our latest @cp-cell.bsky.social. We present VICAR (VIral-induced Centromeric DNA Amplification and Recognition), a new defense system to detect viruses in the nucleus based on nuclear cGAS. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

How does a cell detect infection by a DNA virus in its nucleus?

Check out Randmice 2.0 from our colleagues @ Stimunity Biotech. It became an essential tool for us to optimize animal randomization for in vivo experiments. And it's free! randmice.com

Soren Paludan @civia-aarhus.bsky.social kicks off a wonderful 2-day workshop on antiviral host defense. Looking forward to catching up will all the speakers and participants!

So thrilled to participate in the #EMBO workshop on aneuploidy in the magnificient Stresa. Cheers to the many organizers including @dfachinetti.bsky.social

@sufs-paris-rp.bsky.social #StandUpForScience felt really good to walk the streets of Paris for a couple of hours in support of science. We were thousands!

#Macrophages literally eat and live of dead #bacteria, while live bacteria stimulate inflammation. 🦠 viability is sensed by an mTORC1 metabolic switch. Superb tour-de-force study @nature.com by the Garaude lab in Bordeaux, with help from @sanderlab.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Unexpected conservation: Rick Rubin interviews Richard Feynman. Loving this chat btwn 2 titans, defying the laws of time. Plenty of cool topics: curiosity, solving 'simple' problems, avoiding admin duties, teaching != research, religion, social studies.... www.tetragrammaton.com/content/rich...

On veut du fric pour la recherche publique ! Mr le Ministre présentait ses voeux au Collège de France, on était là.

Showcasing this exciting paper from our good friends Fachinetti lab @institutcurie.bsky.social. #Centromere inactivation triggers #senescence: mis-segregated chromosomes deform the nuclear envelope and activate TORC2-ATR. We helped with #cGAS and some key suggestions. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
