Out now! We found a new molecule, OSP-1, that protects neurons from damage caused by oxidative stress. We show that OSP-1 reduces cell death by regulating autophagy, and can be an exciting target for future treatments of acute insults such as stroke.

P-stalk ribosomes act as master regulators of cytokine-mediated processes
Cytokines remodel the ribosome to incorporate the P-stalk, therefore altering the translation of mRNAs involved in cytokine responses.
