🧬 New paper in @NatureSMB! Agata Stępień, Martyna Plens-Gałąska & Kinga Kamieniarz-Gdula (@STOPlabPI) authored a News & Views piece on transcriptional readthrough, showing how this cellular process links to anti-cancer drugs & new therapies 👏https://t.co/QigEM7PH24

[Kinga Kamieniarz-Gdula #StayWithUkraine #NCNtoTlen @STOPlabPI]

There is more to transcriptional #readthrough than meets the eye, and it could even provide a therapeutic opportunity in #cancer. Check out our new perspective @NatureSMB inspired by recent work from Neugebauer and Grzechnik labs!

Meet the Mushuviridae: a global viral family hidden in our guts for millennia, until now ✨

Led by @PiotrRozwalak & Bas Dutilh, we found these phages in ~89% of humans: from modern cities to the 5,300-yr-old Iceman mummy.
