Take a look at this new paper in @science.org Reversible suppression of autophagy in a mouse model reveals neuronal resilience | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

After 2 months of hard work by @shanshuo.bsky.social with huge support by @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social,help by @nico-slz.bsky.social & a bit myself (😅) we did "finalise" our paper & are finally "𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸" 🤞 Here is the last version of our paper: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #openscience

Our paper is out !!! NADPH oxidases and aquaporins within membrane nanodomains form a functional unit for ROS signaling. Great work by arthur-poitout.bsky.social and amazing collaborator jbfiche.bsky.social, Jose Ugalde, A Meyer yvonjaillais.bsky.social! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2529740123

1/7 New preprint: we found that Chlamydomonas carries a giant and unexpectedly elaborate chloroplast RNA polymerase with 12 previously unknown subunits, overturning the idea that the complexity of this organellar enzyme emerged during plant terrestrialization! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

It was pure pleasure listening to these #plantscience giants, one after the other, in an even organised by @volcaniinstitute.bsky.social and @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social.

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes: 🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting 🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

So proud to see this story finally out!🎉 We added new data since our previous preprint—transgenic barley plants with an engineered immune receptor that fights off two fungal pathogens at once. Short 🧵 and link to the original preprint thread on X👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We just published our new paper about an active Helitron transposon in wheat 🌾🧬 We found that it can be mobilised by heat stress when DNA methylation is reduced. We document its full lifecycle: RNA -> circular DNA -> integration www.nature.com/articles/s41... #TEsky

Fascination of Plants celebration is here! 🌱 Check out all 8 posters of our exhibition through this website. fopd-utrecht.nl/en/exhibitio... 🌱 Can plant research also have other purposes? See what UU Plant researchers honestly think! #plantscience

Our work is out now! (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). We discover a selective autophagy pathway that protects plants from the mess caused by RNA viruses. Intrigued? Follow the spaghetti trail for a summary of our findings🧵-->

A long road with this one, with many questions still to answer, but out now in @embojournal.org! RAB-A2a, Kin12s and TIO interact to coordinate membrane-phragmoplast dynamics during cytokinesis. Big thanks to @ckirchhelle.bsky.social for letting me explore this! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Thrilled to introduce our next act 🎭 in @cp-molcell.bsky.social sciencedirect.com/science/arti... led by @glangin.bsky.social We uncover how proteotoxic stress is integrated across compartments, controlling proteasome activation ⚖️ vs photosynthesis repression 🌱 🧵(1/6) #proteostasis

🚨 Paper out now in #ScienceAdvances @science.org 🌱🦠 Pathogens don’t just target protein degradation—they also hijack host translation. "Bacteria use P-body condensates to attenuate host translation during infection" ⚖️♻️ led by @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Another paper hot off the press! We profiled protein abundance, acetylation, and phosphorylation in rice infected with Magnaporthe oryzae. Awesome work led by @pri-auler.bsky.social. It was great hosting her in my lab for a year long post-doc internship!!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🔥our latest study is now online @natcomms.nature.com we found that the salicylic acid catabolic enzymes DMR6/DLO1 are controlled by the ubiquitin system. SA modulates their turnover, revealing a regulatory circuit linking hormone metabolism to immune balance. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Beautiful creative work and a great 🧵 Kudos to all involved in this nice work 🧪

New publication from Markus Wirtz and colleagues on N-terminal protein acetylation: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🔬🍀🎉 I am happy and excited to share that graduate student, @ohazel.bsky.social Olivia's first author research article is published now @newphyt.bsky.social We are grateful to editor, reviewers, and @newphyt.bsky.social to help us to improve the story nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Researchers in #ScienceAdvances have reconstructed the full biosynthetic pathways of five natural psychedelics in one plant system. https://scim.ag/3PLLIFP

It’s incredibly hard to study lipids in biological membranes on the nanoscale. You need near-perfect information on both membrane ultrastructure and lipid density. Lipid-CLEM, now out in @natcellbio.nature.com brought to you by @mathilda95.bsky.social changes that: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am extremely excited that my first first-author paper from my PhD is finally out 😆!! We developed a new CLEM workflow to measure lipid densities at the nanoscale. So if you are into lipids and super-resolution imaging approaches, this one is for you: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

With everything going on, I can always count on grant writing to serve as an island of stability...

Something tells me I should go to the membrane contact sites session...

Sun 🔆 is rising over the bay of Eilat/Aqaba and the 2nd day of ILANIT 2026 is coming up.

We had a fab lab trip last week 🌻

Long in the making, but happy to present the Chlamydomonas chlororibosome! Cryo-ET🔬reveals a large new domain on the small subunit, built from multiple extensions in conserved ribosomal proteins. bioRxiv 📖: shorturl.at/q44tG This suggests greater chlororibosome diversity than expected! 1/n 🧵

"The most uncomfortable part for me is that I no longer think that scientific research will resolve the crises that we face." "I keep doing research not because I think it will save us, but because it would be a form of surrender to stop seeking understanding."

Beautiful #preprint on a novel regulator of plant #autophagy from the @cnaumann123.bsky.social lab. How do plants regulate #autophagosome size??? ER-PM contact sites and Can1 seem to be key! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
