How do bioenergetic costs of microRNAs depend on interaction strengths? Our work (now in PNAS) reveals an energetically optimal affinity range for microRNA-mRNA interactions (which coincides with 7 nucleotide complementarity!)-w/ @HinczewskiLab @PNASNews #Bioenergetics #microRNA

I’m excited to share the programme of my new series of lectures ⁦@cdf1530⁩ in Nov-Dec. I will devote next 2yrs to information flow. As usual, I speak en Français, but all slides (pdf) in English, self-explanatory, video on Youtube. Stay tuned or visit if in Paris. It’s free

[Lenka Zdeborova @zdeborova]

Let me share a lecture from my ML for Physics course at @EPFL_en, where I derive the Boltzmann machine from the maximum entropy principle and use it to motivate the attention mechanism and a simple transformer architecture. Enjoy!

Beautiful story of discovery #microRNA

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine focuses on the discovery of a vital regulatory mechanism used in cells to control gene activity. Genetic information flows from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA), via a process called transcription, and then on to the cellular machinery for protein production. There, mRNAs are translated so that proteins are made according to the genetic instructions stored in DNA. Since the mid-20th century, several of the most fundamental scientific discoveries have explained how these processes work.

In 1993, this year's Nobel Prize laureates published unexpected findings describing a new level of gene regulation, which turned out to be highly significant and conserved throughout evolution. They discovered microRNA, a new class of tiny RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene regulation.

Stop the video and tell me if you can locate the disk (I bet you can't).

When even your eyes cannot identify cells in a still image, improving the segmentation method is pointless. A better approach is to use temporal information from previous frames and next frames.

I'm thrilled to announce the opening of my laboratory today at the Rosalind Franklin Institute in Oxford & visiting at Oxford University. Very excited to start my independent path as group leader in such a vibrant place! #newPI

[IntCha24 @intcha24]

We are back!!! Announcing Interdisciplinary challenges 2024: 22-26 April in Dresden (@mpi_pks). A workshop from and for young researchers in Physics and Biology (but everybody is welcome!!!)
New team, new venue, new science!
For now, *save the date*! Details in the next days 😉!

Our STEM CELL ZOO paper is out in @CellStemCell!
By using in vitro differentiation of ES/iPS cells, we recapitulated the segmentation clocks of mouse, human, rabbit, cow, marmoset, and even rhinoceros🐁🧍‍♀️🐰🐄🐒🦏
They showed species-specific clock periods!

@ClotildeCadart Interesting work! How many decades in mass are you able to cover in measurements?
