Our paper is out in @natcomms.nature.com ! How does N1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ), the modification behind mRNA vaccines, cause +1 ribosome frameshifting, and how do we design around it? Open access: doi.org/10.1038/s414...

cshperspectives.cshlp.org/content/earl... Review alert! In our latest review, we dissect the mechanistic structural and kinetic principles that govern -1 ribosome frameshifting and discuss how different flavours arise from distinct molecular pathways, yet converge on shared mechanistic features.

Functions and therapeutic applications of pseudouridylation
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 20 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41580-025-00852-1Pseudouridine is a long-discovered RNA modification that has lately attracted much renewed interest. This Review discusses the emerging functions of pseudouridine in gene regulation and mitochondrial function, and its therapeutic potential following the successful use of pseudouridylation in SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines.

Well, I live for these moments! A mutation in tRNA-modifying enzyme confuses the ribosome to synthesize aberrant and, most importantly, immunogenic peptides that enhance immune response against tumors! Amazing data in many different layers; from cell biology to clinical research! Congratulations!

This is a promising study! Looking forward to the era that specific cancers could be prevented like infectious diseases. The more neoantigens we discover, the higher the variability of the vaccines!

Why are some chromosomes like #21 in Down syndrome more error-prone in mammalian eggs? 🤔 Our new study in @naturecomms.bsky.social reveals why acrocentric chromosomes often mis-segregate, causing aneuploidy and miscarriages. (1/9) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our latest work is out in Nature today! Using smFRET, we directly visualized recruitment of the eIF4F complex to the 5' cap of eukaryotic mRNAs and formation of an activated mRNA. Our findings reveal new and surprising roles for each eIF4F component. 1/3 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

These aspects are often overlooked in research. Our effort to design cancer therapeutics should be as delicate and complicated, as cancer and the human body are.

Another paper that shows the significance and therapeutic potential of aberrant translation in cancer. We have much more to learn from the ribosome!
