4/5 The Glycobiology Significant Achievement Award: Dr. Ryan Flynn @raflynn5.bsky.social, Harvard University, 👏👏🥂

Available online - the Technology of the Month "Tools for illuminating the cell surface glycoRNA landscape" from Yuan Ma et al. #glycoRNA #RNABindingProteins #RBP #ARPLA #HieCo2 #MDEM #drFRET Read it here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lOie3S6Gf...

☀️summer is here - and so is CD-CODE v1.10 release!🤩 💡CD-CODE has now 719 manually curated #condensates (and ~40% are #human associated!) 💡Check out new #condensates and updated #protein - condensate connections at cd-code.org #Bioinformatics #DatabaseUpdate #IDR #RNP #RBP #cdcode

The latest release was supported by the #condesathon joined by @mpi-cbg.de condensate community🤩 Big #thankyou to all the participants from @hymanlab.bsky.social, @tothpetroczylab.bsky.social and von Appen labs for your support and enthusiasm!💜

Happy to share our latest paper published in Science Advances @aaas.org. Congratulations to my incredible students, Sandeep @sandeeprai.bsky.social, Roopali @roopsiek.bsky.social (co-first author), Anusha @anushasarbahi.bsky.social & Ashish @ashishjoshi.bsky.social. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🤯 Implications for OLE RNA as a natural integral membrane RNA from Ron Breaker's lab rnajournal.cshlp.org/content/earl...

Other articles include: - a Feature Review on cell surface glycoRNAs and RBPs (@raflynn5.bsky.social) - a Review on the ETC of methanogens - an Opinion on transcription factor dynamics - a Review on the repertoire of RNA-catalyzed reactions - a Review on Mps1 kinase in chromosome segregation

Check it out - amazing new work by @raflynn5.bsky.social and Kostas Tzelepis labs, discovery of a cell surface RNA/glycoRNA binding protein that is also a cancer antigen, new target for antibody therapy! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“Cell surface RNA biology: new roles for RNA binding proteins” Jennifer Porat and I discuss this new cellular topology on which to study RNA–RBP interactions and consider how changes in the csRBPs may drive autoimmune responses. @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to share the latest in 2.5D and 3D biohybrid robots from our lab with a packed room at RoboSoft! Thanks to all the organizers for putting together an exciting workshop on "Soft Robotic Actuation and Sensing Based on Functional Materials"! robosoft2025.org

Excited to share Benson’s and Maria’s work in collab w/Kostas Tzelepis: we found the nucleolar protein NPM1 is a marker of AML and can be targeted therapeutically connecting ‘cell surface RNA biology’ to cancer biology @natbiotech.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A wonderful study, published today in Nature Biotech.: NPM1 is a marker of AML and can be targeted for efficient therapy! @karimalmahayni.bsky.social created the first SR reconstructions of NPM1 on the cell surface. Great collaborative work, spearheaded by @raflynn5.bsky.social and Kostas Tzelepis!

Excited to help organize a session on "Dynamic Extracellular Matrices to Control Cell Signaling" at #TERMISAM2025! The deadline for abstract submissions is April 28 - please consider joining our session and sharing your work in this space: am2025.termis.org/abstract-ins... @termisam.bsky.social

Excited to share the work of Jonathan Perr where he uncovered a surprisingly common feature of cell surfaces - the presentation and clustering of RNA binding proteins with #glycoRNA. Critically support by #NIH @cp-cell.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Biological systems find ingenuous solutions. Almost anything that can happen, happens. Still, I would not have guessed a role of RNA-binding proteins on the cell surface. @raflynn5.bsky.social and his team are boldly investigating glycoRNAs and following their leads.

Mitochondria consist of networks of cylindrical tubes, right? Not necessarily! - in our new preprint, @gavsturm.bsky.social investigates how mitochondria transiently adopt a beads-on-a-string morphology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My first Bluesky post to share our latest (and 4th) Nature Communications paper. We employed homoFRET (recorded by depolarization of fluorescence anisotropy) to study condensate properties. Congrats to Ashish, Anuja, Snehasis, Lisha, Dhruba & members of Indranil's lab! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
