My main PhD paper is finally out! 🎉 After ~5 years, it’s published today in 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘐𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺. @natimmunol.nature.com It all started with an unexpected observation 🔍: 👉 Mice lacking the dendritic cell receptor DNGR-1 developed tumours earlier ⏩ and more frequently 📈 than wild-type mice. 1/11 🧵

🧪 the landscape of cell death is online! Spent half a year in Seattle, WA in @drewoberst.bsky.social `s lab, where we came up with a new way to conceptualize cell death commitment, similar to Waddington's famous landscape of lineage commitment! Thanks TJ and Andrew! #celldeath (free access👇)

#Medsky🧪#microsky #immunosky Finding the “dark proteins” .There are thousands of unconventional open reading frames (ORF) - stretches of code with specific three-letter-sequences - in the human genome that aren't expected to produce a protein, but seem to do so anyway.

WHERE ARE ALL THE DARK PROTEINS? There are thousands of unconventional open reading frames (ORF) - stretches of code with specific three-letter-sequences - in the human genome that aren't expected to produce a protein, but seem to do so anyway. They can be upstream or downstream of a conventional gene, or they can overlap with it to varying degrees. Many are found within long non-coding RNAs, which weren't thought to encode proteins. Some of these peptides seem to regulate the activity of nearby
genes, but for most, their purpose is unclear.

Mitochondria and cell death - Nature Cell Biology

Several processes of regulated cell death engage or use mitochondria, which are thus central hubs that not only coordinate cell death but also elicit non-lethal signalling mediated by mitochondrial ou...

sadistic smile only to mock me before I found out the PCR didn't work 😂.. #scienceisfun
