Such a fun collaboration with @mel-foulon.bsky.social from the TS lab 🀝-πŸ‘€ We combined dual RNA-Seq 🧬 and advanced imaging πŸ”¬ to uncover how intracellular compartmentalization drives niche-specific metabolic phenotypes in mycobacteria!!
Fantastic team effort ✨

πŸŽ‰ Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science πŸ”¬

Some of our group leaders shared insights into what they love most about their jobs in science. ❀️

CSSB supports women and girls in science through initiatives like Girlsβ€˜ and Boysβ€˜ Day.

New protocol out now! πŸ“•πŸ–ŠοΈπŸ”

A practical workflow for analyzing CD thermal unfolding of short RNAs β€” from SVD decomposition to two-state fitting to extract melting temp and enthalpy with ChiraKit.

A must-see if you’re working with RNA structure and CD data.

Researchers from @topf-lab.bsky.social, @embl.org, and IIT have visualised how a large RNA molecule assembles itself into a functional machine, revealing a dynamic choreography that helps us better understand structural folding and misfolding, almost frame by frame.

This work uncovers how the clathrin adaptors Ent5 & Sla2
undergo LLPS, revealing distinct structural drivers that shape endocytic and trafficking dynamics.
