And just when you thought things were settling down, the enigmatic Asgard archaea have another surprise in store! Cell cycle/life cycle stage-specific internal compartments with almost no eukaryote-derived clues as to how they might function.

Beautiful tomography and microscopy - congrats all 🀩

@zestytoast.bsky.social tagged a scarce mycobacterial protein in M. smegmatis with TwinStep but got… something? @kjamali.bsky.social's ModelAngelo built models & @martinsteinegger.bsky.social's FoldSeek IDed them as the biotin-containing MCC & LCC complexes

Could lithium stave off Alzheimer’s disease? The metal is depleted in brains of people with disease and can reverse memory symptoms in mice, new study shows

Researchers found that low lithium levels are linked to Alzheimer's disease in humans, and restoring it can reverse cognitive decline in mice. For a field still searching for cure, this paper may offer a clever new approach 🧠

Glowing E. coli bacteria in green and blues on a background of DNA bases

Rewriting the language of life: Jason Chin’s group in the LMB’s PNAC Division have synthesised E. coli with just 57 codons instead of the usual 64.
Syn57 required 101000+ codon changes & represents a bold step towards programmable life.
