A stress response can be a great starting point for discovering new biology! By following genes regulated during the chloroplast unfolded protein response, we’re discovering novel factors involved in chloroplast homeostasis. Here’s the first one we characterized: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🎉Preprint out! In our new manuscript, we reveal that, much like us, wake up (proliferation) and sleeping (quiescence) patterns of adult neural stem cells are controlled by the circadian clock machinery. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

PER2- and state-dependent transcriptional programs gate neural stem cell proliferation with niche-specific circadian autonomy

Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) in the mouse brain are predominantly quiescent, with activation tightly regulated to balance neurogenesis and stem cell maintenance. Circadian clocks temporally organize...

New study published in Science! Led by @thevirusmc.bsky.social and @plantophagy.bsky.social, former group leader at the GMI of the @oeaw.bsky.social, the researchers set out to understand how autophagy – the cell’s clean-up and recycling system – mediates plant immune response to viral infection.

New paper from the Yasin Dagdas (@plantophagy.bsky.social) group, this time in @science.org, on how plant cells cope with viral infection and how selective autophagy delays cell death to give plants a chance to survive. Chapeau and congratulations to all the authors! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Selective autophagy fine-tunes plant immunity to promote cell survival during viral infection

RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...

Why do pathological protein aggregates persist in cells and how can we overcome this? In our new preprint, we show that Tau aggregates fail to initiate selective autophagy and that their autophagic degradation can be restored. #Autophagy #Tau #Proteostasis Out now 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
