Great talk by Ben Shen of @wertheimufscripps.bsky.social today at @leidenscience.bsky.social. He talked about his group's amazing work in natural product discovery. Cool insights into mining massive numbers of genomes and the power of making data openly available(1/2) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The lncRNA Gas5 is an activity-responsive scaffold that mediates cAMP-dependent synaptic plasticity
RNA-protein complexes coordinated by the long noncoding RNA Gas5 locally support synaptic remodeling.

Nobel Laureate Thomas C. Südhof, M.D., spoke at the institute today. 🧪Südhof won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2013 for “discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells,” and he's a Howard Huges Medical Institute investigator. 🧵1/2
Nobel Laureate Thomas C. Südhof, M.D. explains a slide showing evidence that the cell adhesion molecule Teneurin 3 acts presynaptically.
