Cool article alert! Check out our futuristic Viewpoint below 🔮 And big thank you again to our fortune tellers, linked in the thread below 🥳

Are you excited?? Because I am! 25 years ago I was 10 and had just started secondary school yet our journal was already covering groundbreaking science, long before I'd even heard of molecular cell biology 🧐 Safe to say I'm fairly familiar with it now 🤭 Enjoy our issue!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Thanks @lisaheinke.bsky.social and Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology @natrevmcb.nature.com for the opportunity for our students, Chems and Emma, to write a Tools of the Trade piece on our recently published ControLD technique.

Looking forward to this conference on my home turf in a couple of months!

A good rule of thumb when it comes to deciding a title for your Review/Research article is the Harry Potter test as I like to call it. Does your title fit into the scheme of "Harry Potter and..."? Then you know it's not a good scientific title.

Plant NLR receptors mediate pathogen resistance, and so their engineering could lead to crops with broader pathogen specificity and so broader disease resistance. @nature, authors report one such attempt achieving resistance to several potyviruses. www.nature.com/articles/s41... & shorturl.at/932j7

We wrote a review on Transposable Elements (TEs) and almost all aspects of TE silencing and their roles in biological processes & disease. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Precisely. Which is why if a funder wants to require a version to be made open, it should be the preprint, as it is the only version that is *directly* and solely the work of the fundee. ck.journalology.com/posts/journa...

My pleasure completely, great study and beautiful wing disc images 😊

Hey my fellow Germans! I wasn't aware, but there is an AvH-JSPP postdoc fellowship, dedicated to German citizens aiming to do their postdoc in Japan. It covers salary + travel to Japan + startup for your life in Japan. Let me know if you are interested! www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/apply/spo...

a great opportunity to join Nature Metabolism as an Associate or Senior editor springernature.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/SpringerNatu...

We were thrilled to welcome Dr. Lisa Heinke @lisaheinke.bsky.social, a Senior Editor at Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, to Fudan University! She gave a fantastic talk on the editorial process and career paths as a scientific editor! Thank you, Lisa!

Our meeting at beautiful Dushu Lake near Suzhou ended yesterday after many great talks. I really enjoyed learning about cell death and immunity pathways associated with it! Now I’m on my way to Fudan University for a lab visit and seminar, kindly hosted by @ichikawa-lab.bsky.social 🙌🏻

Yesterday was my first day in Shanghai and I was lucky to enjoy a great visit to the Shanghai Institute of Immunity and Infection (by Chinese Academy of Science). Thank you to Xing Liu for being a wonderful host and ensuring a smooth trip for me 🙌🏻

We're hiring 📢 The Research Cross-Journal Editorial Team @natureportfolio.nature.com has not one, but TWO openings for Associate or Senior Editors in Life Sciences. If you fancy a career in editorial, we'd love to hear from you 😀

Yes, that is me, for those who did not yet know. This was not planned but I am very happy to go 'home' even though I will miss a lot about Portugal. If you still want to visit, hurry, otherwise see you in Cambridge. If you want to know more contact me directly. www.pdn.cam.ac.uk/news/dr-care...

Toxic friendships be like “let’s run 25km on Sunday” - “ok” (My longest run ever and my first partial trail run!)

Anyone going to the #CSHLAsia meeting on Cell Death and Innate Imunity in Suzhou in May? Because I am and I'd love to touch base! Give me a shout if you'll be there ☕

Outstanding review of insulin resistance with an eye towards insulin sensitization as a future goal www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Amen 🙏👇🏼

Happy to report that I have survived my Half Marathon! #BerlinHalf gave us gorgeous medals, totally worth the training and pain 🏃🏻‍♀️

It was a pleasure to invite and handle this Review! Give it a read if you're interested in COPII or the secretory pathway 😎

I love myself a good Review with heaps of mechanistic insights! You do, too? You know what to put on your reading list then 🤩 Bottom line: #pyroptosis is very cool and we're starting to understand quite a bit about how #gasdermins execute this cell death pathway 🥳

Fun fact: I started my undergrad research on photosynthesis before moving to plant development during my Master's. I'm coming full circle now bc I'm about to accept an article on #photosynthesis & one on #auxin signalling🥳 You don't even know how excited I am to see these articles published!! ✨

Check out Leo's new paper - I look forward to reading the story!

In sunny Liverpool for #biologists100, celebrating @biologists.bsky.social - already shaping up to be a fantastic event! Come and find me if you like to chat about your research and publishing with our collaborative model journal Communications Biology @commsbio.bsky.social!

Check out another of 'my' papers this week in @science.org Epithelial polarization by the planar cell polarity complex is exclusively non–cell autonomous | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

How exciting, we have a new Review for you 🥳

Editorial life is very exhausting for my little helper and so he’s taking his early-morning nap right on my arm! If I’m delayed in sending you any edits, please blame Koda 🙏

✨ New #Review ✨ Yiping Qi and colleagues discuss new CRISPR–Cas tools for precise (epi)genome and transcriptome engineering in plants, and their uses in improving crop traits such as yield and tolerance to climate stresses. go.nature.com/4ixnMz2

This is a very cool thread, check it out in honour of #IWD2025!

✨ My latest Research Highlight is now online @natrevmcb.bsky.social ✨ A new @naturecellbiology.bsky.social paper finds that eukaryotes have evolved mitochondrial avoidance segments to ensure correct targeting of cytoplasmic ribosomal units to the nucleus. 🔗 go.nature.com/4kx4vPU

Fantastic new paper out @nature.com! @merbllab.bsky.social discovers proteasome-derived peptides that function as a defence against bacterial infections. I'm not an immunologist but even I can tell that this finding has huge implications for new therapeutic interventions! 👉 go.nature.com/43k1a0H

A terrific perspective from Vivek Malhotra @naturecomms.bsky.social on the fundamental importance of pathways and mechanisms by which cells secrete proteins, ensuring their delivery in the correct quantities and at the appropriate times. Interesting section on unanswered questions. rdcu.be/ecb2B

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 (And if your editor reaches out to ask you to moderate your response to the referees as the tone is inappropriate saying “we see nothing wrong” is not actually the right answer!)

Very exciting opportunity! Have a chat with @katherine-brown.bsky.social if you want to learn more 😎

One of the more sobering realizations from the @keystonesymposia.bsky.social was the immediate impact of the events unfolding in the US—scientists unable to travel, unable to present, and unable to submit their exciting research. Extremely concerning.

We've got a new issue!!!! You should have a look, whether you are a #CellBio or #train enthusiast alike. Jokes aside, it was great working on the IFT article with Gaia and Sam and even though I didn't handle the other Reviews in this issue, I already know they're top notch 🤩

In preparation for my half marathon, I just ran… a half marathon. That’s how this works right? Right?? #BerlinHalf

My German election ballot only arrived today, a long shot but is anyone traveling from Boston to Berlin today who could take it? Any leads @germanyinboston.bsky.social ?

What a beautiful cover for our #mechanobiology paper "Morphometry and mechanical instability at the onset of epithelial bladder cancer": doi.org/10.1038/s415... - thx @naturephysics.bsky.social !! News & Views "Tissue wrinkles foreshadow cancer" doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Have you ever thought of using a fluorescent probe to specifically enrich and profile proteins with disordered regions? Read below about RUBICON (reactive unfolded protein-based identification of cysteine on enrichment), a new workflow which enables the identification of the disordered proteome!

What do you mean this was two years ago already?!?

I know the US are a shitshow right now, but Germany is approaching an important election as well. As always I will be counting votes and today we’ve got the training on how to do so - funnily, it’s happening in a cinema this year 😀 the smell of popcorn overpowers my election anxiety slightly 🍿

How you can tell that I’m in midlife crisis mode: I’ve decided to run a #HalfMarathon in April and consequently just did 13km in icy Berlin (around the decommissioned former airport!)! Slow, but steady 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️
