Finally out in @Cellcellpress!
Proteins with long intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are prone to misfolding during protein synthesis.
This is prevented by mRNA 3′UTRs that act as mRNA-based IDR chaperones.

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://t.co/2I7IpaYoKb

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Nordic Diabetes Prize 2026 goes to Professor Charlotte Ling of Lund University for showing how diet, exercise, age and obesity can alter gene activity in ways that drive the disease. The prize is awarded by the Foundation and the Scandinavian Society for the Study of Diabetes.

🚨 Say “goodbye” to fertilizers.

Dr. Mariangela Hungria, a distinguished researcher at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), has been named the 2025 World Food Prize laureate for her pioneering work in soil microbiology. Often described as the "Nobel Prize for Food," this honor recognizes her development of over 30 biological technologies that utilize natural bacteria to nourish crops. By harnessing the power of Biological Nitrogen Fixation through specific bacterial strains, Hungria has successfully replaced heavy reliance on synthetic fertilizers, drastically improving the sustainability and yields of soybean and other vital crops across South America.

The scale of Hungria’s impact is staggering, with her methods currently applied to more than 40 million hectares in Brazil alone. This agricultural revolution saves farmers an estimated US$40 billion annually while preventing the release of over 180 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions each year. Her career-long dedication at EMBRAPA has not only solidified Brazil’s status as a global agricultural leader but also provided a low-cost, eco-friendly blueprint for global food security. Her work proves that the most powerful solutions for feeding the world can be found within the soil itself.

Why are there intronic reads in your bulk RNA-seq data?
You're not alone—it's common, and the reasons are more layered than you think.
Let’s break it down. 🧵

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Congratulations to #Brazil on becoming the first country in South America – and largest globally – to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV. This achievement shows that elimination is possible with timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and access to maternal health services and a safe delivery.

For EU citizens, sign and share this initiative to ban conversion therapies.
It's crucial and takes no time.

“We call on the European Commission to propose a binding legal ban on conversion practices targeting LGBTQ+ citizens in the European Union”

@tamara_hverdeja Grattis, Tamara! Madrid is lucky to have you back! 🎉

[Steve Jacobsen @SJacobsenUCLA]

Why is it that gene promoters are so good at avoiding DNA methylation? Work from Ming Wang, Yan He et al., shows that H3K4me3, enriched at promoters, acts as an anti-DNA methylation mark by recruiting DNA demethylase enzymes! Nice work guys! https://t.co/oSZ0jDZ295
