Innate immune system: How modified RNA tricks the immune system Researchers at LMU have elucidated why certain RNA modifications do not trigger an immune responseβ€”a key mechanism for RNA therapeutics.

πŸ₯³Amazing publication from the Hornung lab, in collab. with the Carell lab, on the innate immune system: how modified RNA tricks the immune system. Big shout-out to the two first authors, Marleen BΓ©routi and Mirko Wagner! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Graphical abstract of the linked paper.

Sea slugs retain and store foreign chloroplasts in kleptosome organelles (top). Kleptosomes use luminal ATP-sensing ion channels to support photosynthesis (bottom left). Kleptosomes digest chloroplasts during prolonged starvation (bottom center). Slugs and corals use convergent mechanisms of endosymbiosis (bottom right).

@nbellono.bsky.social and colleagues observed that Elysia sea slugs steal chloroplasts from algae and store them in specialized organelles called kleptosomes. During times of starvation, this allows them to photosynthesize in support of their energy needs! πŸ§ͺ

Hi Huiqing,
as an occasional sequencer of tRNAs I would be really grateful for a short thread on this paper! I'd be especially curious about where you see the advantages / disadvantages of this compared to other state-of-the-art methods like mim-tRNA-seq, which also identifies many modifications THX

PhD position in the biology and treatment of Osteosarcoma (m/f/d) Pflichtfelder sind mit einem (*) markiert.

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!

1/ One of the most intriguing enigmas of the #COVID19 pandemic was the sudden and unprecedented outbreak of chilblains that accompanied the early waves of #SARSCoV2 infections. Our new study in @jem.org uncovers the underlying immunological mechanism

I agree, NAR is just a great journal and I've had several excellent experiences with their editorial process.

Posttranscriptional activity of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E contributes to HoxA9-driven leukemogenesis HoxA9, a homeodomain-containing transcription factor, is mis-expressed in over half of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases, and is associated with poor prognosis. Previous studies indicated that HoxA9 ...

Very cool and surprising! A transcription factor is also a translation factor: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
