We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer... @repauchincloss.bsky.social

#NewResearch During filamentous growth in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, a reduction in ribosome concentration leads to a decrease in macromolecular crowding. Inhibition of ribosome biogenesis can trigger filamentous growth in this pathogen. #MicroSky 🦠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Out now! Decreased cytoplasmic crowding via inhibition of ribosome biogenesis can trigger Candida albicans filamentous growth @robertarkowitz.bsky.social Read it here: rdcu.be/eT3CP www.nature.com/articles/s41...

👉Excited to share our latest work @natmicrobiol.nature.com, revealing a decrease in cytoplasmic crowding during filamentous growth in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Furthermore we found that inhibition of ribosome biogenesis can trigger filamentous growth in this pathogen rdcu.be/eT1Su

🚨 The NIH open access policy requiring immediate open access for all NIH funded papers is derailing all kinds of research programs because of the high $$$ associated with journal open access fees. Thanks to @docsirianni.bsky.social for your continued advocacy www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

GTPBP1 is a GTPase implicated in neurodevelopment. Our cryo-EM maps show GTPBP1 delivering tRNA to ribosome. Due to delayed GTPase dissociation, mRNA decoding is more stringent than with bona fide delivery factor eEF1A. Congrats to Denis Susorov and collab with Pestova lab! tinyurl.com/3smdvt3v
