The process that preserves the centromere, the hub that ensures DNA divides correctly during cell division, has been revealed

@JPLab_ study in @ScienceMagazine explains how the PLK1 protein ensures each new cell has a centromere in the right location

Excited to share our work showing how PLK1 licenses CENP-A deposition at centromeres to ensure centromere inheritance @WTcell @GeneCenter_LMU @SBSatEd @LMU_Muenchen @Pragya_Sriv @bethan_medina @Alba_Edinburgh @PaulaSoteloP @ERC_Research @wellcome & MRC https://t.co/7OKQhhfMzJ

Communicating science; it’s more than promoting science, it’s understanding how to engage and learn from communities #MCAAConf2024

[Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) @Mariecurie_alum]

Where is the field of science communication headed?

In a session of our Annual Conference, @albuquerqueafrr is joined by @Scicling, @SofJCortes, @JoanaLoA & Alba Abad Fernandez who’ll share their experiences & thoughts about #scicomm! 💡

Great collaborative effort: @JPLab_ (@jp_arulanandam), Jun Liao(CUMC, Columbia), Erica Davis (Children’s, Chicago),Bill Earnshaw labs and several clinical researchers including @RMaroofian, led by Avinash Dharmadhikari(CHLA,UCA), @Alba_Edinburgh and Sheraz Khan. @WTcell @SBSatEd

[JP Lab @JPLab_]

Excited to share our latest preprint demonstrating the requirement of the RNA methyltransferase activity of SPOUT1/CENP-32 to maintain the integrity of chromosome segregation apparatus, the mitosis spindle and its link to a previously uncharacterised neurodevelopmental disorder.

[St Andrews RC Primary @StAndrewsRCPS]

Last week P5 and P6 had a zoom call with our partner school in Nepal to learn all about their amazing country. We learned so many new things and are looking forward to swapping some ideas for playground games with our friends soon!

I had such an amazing experience building capacity and sharing knowledge and experiences with Biomedicum researchers! Thanks @TWASnews for your support!

[EngageNepalwithScience @EngageNepalSci]

Two weeks of intensive Protein Science workshop at RIBB-Nepal, completed! Our founder and director, Alba Abad, shared knowledge and skills with Biomedicum researchers. The newly established Protein Lab will pave the way for the production of enzymes & proteins! Thanks @TWASnews
