🧬 What can happen when #RNA scientists meet beyond their own labs? The 2025/2026 Milan RNA Salon closed with 6 events, 13 scientific talks, 190+ participants from 13+ institutes and 3 roundtables.

Now published! We investigated how polyadenylated RNAs are targeted for decay in the human nucleus. www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/5)

Utilising in situ structural biology to uncover fundamental mechanisms of cytoskeletal regulation, we're excited to present Helen Foster with an Early Career Research Award in 2027! Helen's research on immune cell cytoskeletal remodeling could open new frontiers in molecular immunology.

📢 First preprint from the Casañal Lab! Excited to share our work on human NSUN2, done together with the brilliant @ecleroy.bsky.social. Using #CryoEM, we capture the dramatic structural rearrangement of tRNA as it flips a cytidine into the NSUN2 catalytic pocket for m⁵C modification. Take a look👇

Very happy to say that our work on how axonemes are generated is now available on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... - if you’ve ever wondered how the incredibly beautiful, complex structures within motile #cilia are constructed then this is for you!

Excited to share the (hard) work of @zawarshah.bsky.social in its final form: www.nature.com/articles/s41... A lot of insights into RNA Polymerase selectivity at snRNAs promoters !! As these promoters are often used for heterologous expression of RNAs (ie guide RNAs), you better know how they work

The snRNA Activating Protein Complex (SNAPc) mediates snRNA transcription by RNA Pol II and III. Here, the authors have used cryo-EM to resolve the structure of the SNAPc-bound RNA Pol III pre-initiat...

Our review of Intraflagellar transport is out now! We cover lots of the recent advances in our understanding of IFT, and where we think there are still some gaps. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Intraflagellar transport (IFT) ensures delivery of selected proteins into cilia. The IFT protein complexes IFT-A and IFT-B polymerize at the base of the cilium to form an anterograde train that facili...
