1/ Excited to share our new study with @Brumbaugh_JB, now out in @NatureBiotech! P-bodies selectively sequester RNAs encoding cell fate regulators, often from the preceding developmental stage. Releasing these RNAs can drive changes in cell identity. 🧵https://t.co/D7fnkJgNQ6
I’m thrilled to share that our paper is out in Molecular Cell! We developed Ribo-Tweezer, a new technology that lets us rapidly and reversibly remove specific proteins from mature ribosomes to ask what they actually do in translation.
I don’t tweet much so I’ll keep this simple
We are looking to recruit 1-2 new postdoctoral fellows, to study human hematopoietic development, from both basic and translational perspectives, using iPSCs.
Please reach out via email for more details if interested!
My lab @bcmhouston is hiring a postdoctoral fellow to study hematopoiesis and leukemia using innovative degron mouse models, RNA recording technologies, and functional genomics approaches.

Very excited to share our Molecular Cell @MolecularCell on missense mutations in Polycomb genes and how they can disrupt chromatin regulation to drive neurodevelopmental disorders. A huge thank you to everyone involved, and to our amazing collaborators! https://t.co/TKoCZE3FsB
Dr. Bruno Di Stefano (@DiStefano_Lab), Stem Cell Reports Early Career Editor , will be at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in Florida, USA 6-9 December 2025. Connect with him to discuss whether your research is fit for publishing in Stem Cell Reports!
Sure you can profile RNA but does that actually tell you what a cell will do? Or what it was doing?
Here's a fun reflection led by @kaseyslove on the recent work from the lab @DiStefano_Lab. Their excellent study shows that microRNAs sequester mRNA from the preceding cell fate in P-bodies. Food for thought on how much we can (and cannot) see in profiles of RNA and how we might harness natural sequestration pathways to improve cell fate programming

7/ Our findings establish a fundamental, conserved role for P-bodies in cell fate specification and reveal novel strategies to manipulate RNA condensates for directing cell identity in regenerative medicine.
