Colliding ribosomes are potent signals of cellular stress. But do cells use ‘programmed’ ribosome collisions to regulate gene expression? I’m excited to present a new story from my lab led by Frederick Rehfeld(@fred-rehfeld.bsky.social) which revealed that the answer is YES! Read on to find out how👇

Just finished serving on an NIA study section. Mostly business as usual. Some increased engagement and some words of encouragement and solidarity at the end, but otherwise nothing unique to report. Glad that NIH is able to at least continue with that essential function at the moment.
