So excited to share our story revealing structures, functions and adaptations of the human LINE-1 retrotransposon, an ancient genetic parasite that has written 1/3 of the human genome and is implicated in cancer, aging, & autoimmunity. Now out in @Nature https://t.co/wyo0fTUn4e
This was a true team effort across HUJI, UCSF/QBI, Rockefeller, Einstein, Basel, and UCSD/HHMI. Immense thanks to our colleagues and collaborators. @salilab_ucsf@RoutLab_RU, @DavidCowburn1 , @TheVillaLab (special shoutout to @dgvjayS), and the Lim lab.
A new @PNASNews study from @RoutLab_RU, working with a team led by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, solves the long-standing mystery of how NPCs make split-second decisions about which molecules to allow to pass through their molecular gates: https://t.co/dhcSJEzijE
Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPCs) are the gateways to the nucleus, but how can they be both rapid and picky, even for very large cargoes? To answer this question, we built the most detailed data-driven model to date of transport through NPCs.

Our work on the architecture and model of the #NuclearBasket is now out @CellCellPress. https://t.co/OmHf7ECJns. @HHMINews, @IntActOme #NPC#teamtomo

Excited to share our short review on the challenges of applying single-particle cryo-EM to RNA structures and some of the methods developed to overcome them. Hope you find it useful! https://t.co/Hggg3CX7Ak
In a great collaboration with @HummerLab and the Kräusslich lab, @jpkreysing, @MaziarHeidari1, @VojtechZila and others tackle what happens when HIV capsid goes through an NPC. Instead of the NPC cracking the capsid, the capsid appears to crack the NPC (@MPIbp@CiidHeidelberg).

Rockefeller's @SanfordMSimon featured in @guardian for his work on fibrolamellar carcinoma, a rare liver cancer:
“The moment I learned of Elana’s condition is seared into my memory. I was determined to find out what caused it and find ways to counter it."

Collaborative work led by @svenklumpe resolves the structure of a mobile genetic element inside of developing tissue. Together with @juliusbrennecke @BriggsGroup and the fabulous Jürgen M Plitzko. #cryoET
