Almost 50% of lab workers identify as neurodiverse. So what difference could it make for research organisations to fully embrace neurodiversity in their workplace culture? We supported the John Innes Centre to implement a project aiming to do just that 👇

What a fabulous work! A polyA "tailored" mechanism to enhance #mRNA vaccine efficiency via cytoplasmic re-adenylation. Huge impact on #RNAtherapeutics. A demonstration of the scientific excellence of Polish research institutions.

Physics of Life 2025 @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social has been a fantastic meeting. To step forward into understanding #Biology it really is urgent to integrate #Biophysics, #Biochemistry, #StructuralBiology, #Computational modelling, #Theory, etc... I'm very happy to be part of this community.

Our paper has been published! We used in vivo single-particle tracking to demonstrate that the assembly of core FCA oligomers into functional macromolecular condensates. Thanks to all the authors and colleagues!

Chromatin retained MUSHER lncRNA integrates ABA and DOG1 signalling pathways to enhance Arabidopsis seeds dormancy
Many plant lncRNAs regulate gene expression by binding to chromatin, but how they are retained at the target loci is unclear. We identify a new, chromatin-localized lncRNA - MUSHER , which activates t...

Cold-induced nucleosome dynamics linked to silencing of Arabidopsis FLC
Temperature influences nucleosome dynamics, and thus chromatin, to regulate gene expression. Such mechanisms underlie the epigenetic silencing of Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) by prolonged cold....

What is the multiscale structure of chromatin condensates? How does it shape thermodynamic and material properties? We address this at near-atomistic resolution🔥🔥🔥 using cryoET (Rosen & Villa labs, led by H Zhou), a new multiscale model (K Russell) and cryoET-guided sims (J Huertas & J Maristany)
