🚛 Ribosomes on the road! New research from the Schuman Lab @mpibrain.bsky.social shows neurons can locally assemble ribosomes - far from the nucleus and close to synapses. A big shift from textbook biology! 📚🧬🔗 bit.ly/3GUJKPv #Neuroscience #CellBiology #Ribosomes

Very excited and proud to finally share this story! 🐙 We discovered surprising roles for dopamine and acetylcholine in the Octopus visual system… doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Today we report the directed evolution of HUH into rHUH, a sequence-specific covalent protein tag for RNA labeling. rHUH was hard to engineer: the initial HUH template had no RNA activity, so we started with RNA-DNA hybrids. 30 rounds of selection on the yeast surface were required, and 7 cycles of

119 EMBO Fellows from 30+ countries attended the EMBO Fellows’ Meeting in Heidelberg, DE from 27 June–1 July. #Research was shared and connections formed – an incredible opportunity for #networking and #collaboration. Thank you to all who joined and were part of this vibrant community! 🧪

Out now! We found a new molecule, OSP-1, that protects neurons from damage caused by oxidative stress. We show that OSP-1 reduces cell death by regulating autophagy, and can be an exciting target for future treatments of acute insults such as stroke. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This paper is now featured by @naturecomms.bsky.social on their Editors' Highlights page Check it out 👇 www.nature.com/collections/...

NEW Paper: If you're a fan of Rachel from 'Friends', you would love OSP-1, as it is also protective of ROS Donato et al. found a novel gene OSP-1 (oxidative stress protective 1) that protects neurons from damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), by modulating autophagy.👇

Leveraging the genetic power of the nematode C. elegans and the optogenetic tool KillerRed, the Hilliard Lab discovered osp-1, a novel gene that protects neurons from oxidative damage via cell-autonomous mechanisms 🧠 doi.org/10.1038/s414...
