I am happy to share the latest paper from the lab. We detail a tripartite cell-free translation system based on the separation of mRNAs, ribosomes and ribosome-depleted cytoplasmic lysate from human cells, allowing for flexible reconstitution of translation reaction.

Beautiful work, congratulations 👏

Specialized ribosomes: integrating new insights and current challenges | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Variation in the composition of different ribosomes, termed ribosome heterogeneity, is a now well established phenomenon. However, the functional implications of this heterogeneity on the regulation of protein synthesis are only now beginning to be ...

Congratulations @ribocode.bsky.social team on our review published today @royalsociety.org Awesome team work to write this as such a large group. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

It's not all DNA: Also RNA damage contributes to cellular stress!
RNA lesions trigger ribosome stalling, which can influence cell fate.
Very nice review (for me as an RNA damage muggle) from @jstingele.bsky.social

The ribotoxic stress response drives acute inflammation, cell death, and epidermal thickening in UV-irradiated skin in vivo The acute skin reaction to sunburn, encompassing keratinocyte cell death, inflammation, and epidermal thickening, has traditionally been ascribed to DNA damage responses. Using a mouse model deficient...

Time for our first post here 🥳 Our latest paper is online 🙌
We show that UV activates the ribotoxic stress response, which causes inflammation, cell death and thickening in skin. Read about a role for the RSR separate from DNA damage signaling in response to sunburn: ✨☀️ www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
