La LOSU estableix que les universitats han de dotar-se d’un nou Estatut per complir la seva missió. Aquest matí, la UB ha aprovat el seu nou Estatut, després d’un procediment molt rigorós i altament participatiu. Una jornada històrica, en directe per UBtv www.ub.edu/ubtv/index.p...

Glad to be in the list. "La Universitat de Barcelona té 157 investigadors entre els més influents del món" - Actualitat - Universitat de Barcelona web.ub.edu/web/actualit...

I’m happy that our commentary is out! (It would be wonderful if this made a difference!) In defense of funding foundational plant science academic.oup.com/plcell/artic...

How do leaf cell types respond to drought, and how does this vary among leaves of a rosette? Single-nucleus RNA seq of 600+ individual leaves along a drought time course

COP9 SIGNALOSOME SUBUNIT 5A facilitates POLYAMINE OXIDASE 5 degradation to regulate strawberry plant growth and fruit ripening (Yun Huang, Jiahui Gao, Guiming Ji, Wenjing Li, Jiaxue Wang, Qinghua Wang, Yuanyue Shen, Jiaxuan Guo, Fan Gao) https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koaf022 @ASPB #PlantScience

Structure determinants of DANGEROUS MIX 3, an alpha/beta hydrolase, for triggering NLR-mediated genetic incompatibility in plants @EunyoungChae www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Polyamines and flg22 reshape the ribosomal protein composition of actively translating ribosomes in plants. Thanks to all co-authors for the wonderful collaboration. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Today, Director @raphmercier.bsky.social officially announced the new name of the main lecture hall at the MPIPZ Cologne: "Jeff Schell Lecture Hall" If you're wondering how Jeff earned the honor, have a look at my Short History of Plant Transformation: peerj.com/preprints/27... #PlantScience

Our latest @pnas.org! Preventing inappropriate signals pre- and post-ligand perception by a toggle switch mechanism of the plant receptor kinase ERECTA. Its unique C-terminal alpha-helix domain inhibits the receptor active state. Congrats, all!🌱🥰 www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....

The latest version of Activity Metabolomics and Mass Spectrometry (AMMS 2025) is now in the proof stage. AMMS 2025 has two new chapters, lipids, and a lot of polishing. Still free as a PDF, and as royalty-free print version on Amazon. Coming as soon as we get the proofs (and are happy with them).

Imagine how this will be in 50 years

Trapping of spermine, Kukoamine A, and polyamine toxin blockers in GluK2 kainate receptor channels. @NatureComms Check the #cryoEM #structure of this #membrane #protein in UniTmp: https://pdbtm.unitmp.org/entry/9dxs

Targeting #mitochondrial oxidative stress and polyamine synthesis can attenuate the #senescence via the unfolded protein response (UPR) Why is is this important? Senescent cells in your brain can drive up inflammation + dementia www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Original (?) report of spermine precipitation for highly selective precipitation of DNA, back in 1981 - based on polyamine collapse of DNA chains and great for excluding stubborn contaminants and obtaining clean DNA. Don't know why it is not more widely used... academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Dear reviewers. Reviewing is not writing a wishing list of impossible workload. I never did that.

Polyamines promote disordered protein phase separation https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.05.10.593468v1

Capturing carbon from the air #Nature "The new porous material for capturing carbon dioxide, called a covalent organic framework, has hexagonal channels decorated with polyamines that efficiently bind carbon dioxide molecules at concentrations found in ambient air." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Soil microbiomes show consistent and predictable responses to extreme events We’re out in Nature !! doi.org/ntzk Very exciting for my first bluesky post! – it’s been a long haul by an excellent team from across Europe, led by @frantecol.bsky.social

Ideas for a Xmas gift for your lab mates. #metabolomics

A veure si amb això es normalitza la cosa. Professor agregat = Associate Professor (USA) Professor associat = adjunct professor Professor lector = assistant professor 🙏

#UniBarcelona | 💙 Estrenem perfil en aquesta xarxa social i us animem a seguir-nos-hi! 📱 La #UniBarcelona ha deixat de publicar a X per marcar distàncies amb un espai on es fomenten missatges d’odi i prolifera la desinformació. Llegeix el comunicat 👉 web.ub.edu/web/actualit...

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics
