“I find it amazing to see such high-performing people struggling with self-doubt. Every successful scientist I know has a lifetime of failure behind them, even if those parts of their story are rarely on display.” [Professor Adrian Liston, University of Cambridge] www.cam.ac.uk/stories/camb...

Let's start the New Year with this reminder. Let's stay curious!!! 😊 Happy New Year!!! 🥂

"... academia becomes McDonaldized — subject to the fast-food industry principles of efficiency, calculability, predictability and control — ..." @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

something new, preprint + ai review ✅

Magic in Crete ✨ Nothing beats this conference... ideas flowing, connections sparking, and the kindest people all around 🌊☀️

A fantastic viewpoint by @frezzalab.bsky.social network.febs.org/posts/thinki... It reminds me of the lampost-and-key analogy described in this article by Michael Yaffe www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... The goal is to understand network-based signalling.

👉 Check it out and join the movement

Universities generate ideas and knowledge, for long-term societal progress, not short-term metrics. "Universities are — and must continue to be — a force for good. Fresh ideas will allow the sector to thrive and deliver value for society." @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It was a fantastic Swiss Apoptosis Meeting. Great science and nice colleagues as usual. This time this view of the Swiss Alps from Bern to Konstanz was a plus.

Moonlight. Bodensee. Silence. ✨

⏳ Just 3 days left! Don’t miss the chance to present your science at #ECDO2025 in Berlin. Submit your abstract today 👉 www.ecdo.eu/ecdo2025/con... #CellDeath #Berlin2025

Congrats to ‪@linkermannlab.bsky.social‬ on this important work highlighting the role of sex hormones in regulating susceptibility to ferroptosis. ... and welcome on Bleusky, btw.

Very proud on our stellar Alina Ritter for her frist first-author paper: Targeting CXADR-mediated AKT signaling suppresses tumorigenesis and enhances #chemotherapy efficacy in #Ewing #sarcoma tinyurl.com/3kcs3bc9 @dkfz.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @nct-heidelberg.bsky.social

Congratulations @grunewaldlab.bsky.social team for another impressive work... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

"This excess word analysis suggests that at least 13.5% of 2024 abstracts were processed with LLMs. This lower bound differed across disciplines, countries, and journals, reaching 40% for some subcorpora" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

"p53 status determines the epigenetic response to demethylating agents Azacitidine and Decitabine" Nice to see this work finalised on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social Congrats to Matthew van de Pette @mrc-tu.bsky.social and colleagues. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Multigenerational cell tracking of DNA replication and heritable DNA damage Congrats @altmeyerlab and collaborators www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A PhD position is open in my group here in Heidelberg. We'll use cool primary cell models of osteosarcoma and genetic screens to understand and overcome mechanisms of clinically acquired drug resistance. It'll be a blast! karriere.klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php?ac...

aligning identity is a challenge 👇

"The search for worth is endless because the benchmarks by which we are measured are constantly changing; it is a moving target." I completely agree, it is a losing battle. And often, the criteria are also subjective. Thank you, Christian, for sharing such a beautiful piece.

🧬 New Research Alert! 🧬 "Pervasive phenotypic effects of FBXO42 controlled by regulation of PP4 phosphatase" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Our findings reveal that Fbxo42 main function is to control PP4 phosphatase. Discussions are highly welcome! #bioRxiv #Research #Science #ubiquitin

... yes, but of course I am right! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🔥🔥🔥The stochasticity of biological aging: Read now our Correspondence in @naturemedicine.bsky.social to clarify the roles of stochasticity in aging and in age prediction. We argue that aging clocks are reflecting the very mechanisms of aging. @meyerdh.bsky.social @cecad.bsky.social rdcu.be/ejQv7

Please repost: Deadline extended until May 1st - join us for discussing cutting-edge cardiometabolic basic and translational research! Outstanding speaker lineup, highly interactive program, ca. 35 short talks selected from abstracts, and the most beautiful venue at Lake Starnberg: eas-elc.org

What do cells undergoing #ferroptosis #celldeath release? Read all about it in our atlas on ferroptosis #secretomes out now in Cell Death and Differentiation #CDDpress Great collaboration with @cecad.bsky.social @frezzalab.bsky.social @kreuzaler.bsky.social @almutschulze.bsky.social rdcu.be/ejp9C

"p53 loss disrupts the balance between nucleotide consumption and production through increasing transcription [...]. Supplementing nucleosides or inhibiting transcription rescued replication stress and genomic instability." www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🔥🔥🔥 OUR NEW PREPRINT: Slowing and reversing aging? Nature does it, here we show how! Age deceleration and reversal gene patterns in dauer diapause. @cecad.bsky.social @unicologne.bsky.social @uniklinikkoeln.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
