A feature in Nature explores how research into developing ways to probe layers of consciousness in the human brain could inform how scientists search for awareness in all its possible forms. 🧪
How to detect consciousness in people, animals and maybe even AI

Very cool! How do cytosolic ribosomes discriminate between ER and mitochondria targeted proteins?
NAC recognizes mitochondrial targeting sequences! Very important since over 95% of the mitochondrial proteome is translated in the cytosol and then imported to mitochondria.
Congrats!

Congrats!
Check out our new preprint on the discovery of a molecular switch in NAC that mediates nascent chain sorting on the ribosome and prevents mitochondrial protein mistargeting by SRP. A great collaboration with the Shan Lab @Caltech and the Qi Lab @UVA: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

EMBL Hamburg scientists have discovered a group of microbial cold-loving molecules, ‘cryorhodopsins’, with extraordinary abilities.
They are the first observed molecules that can act as both on and off switches for electrical activity in cells.

Metabolic adaptations direct cell fate during tissue regeneration - Nature
Metabolic enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, such as 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, are differentially expressed in absorptive and secretory lineages, guiding cell fate establishment and offering insights for targeted regenerative therapies.
