Switzerland is joining Horizon Europe!
We are uniting two research powerhouses.
For cutting-edge innovation that will boost our energy security, digital transformation, health and so much more.
Today is a good day for science, and for our EU-Switzerland partnership.

New paper from our lab! Fabulous and brilliant @carlosalfonsog.bsky.social and @shimengjin.bsky.social, together with fantastic co-authors, show that the neuronal protein ELAV promotes biogenesis of circular RNAs in the brain. This happens through inhibition of forward ("classical") splicing.
👀 New study: The stability of circular RNAs makes them ideal for long-lasting regulatory tasks in neurons. Researchers from the @hilgerslab.bsky.social have now identified the protein ELAV protein as a master regulator of circular RNA production in the nervous system, crucial for brain function.
Running circles in my head
Researchers in Freiburg have identified the protein ELAV as a key regulator of circular RNA production in the nervous system, which is crucial for brain function.

Celebrating an accepted paper is fun for many reasons! A while ago we had a little get-together for Anton's @antonhess.bsky.social and Dominika's (first authors) paper published in @emboreports.org. Featuring, the larval-brain-shaped (3rd instar) cake baked by lab star chef and co-author Hasan.

So excited to host my friend and former labmate @laghalab.bsky.social as a ... (drumroll) Special Guest at our institute! Mark your calendars and expect a great talk with beautiful live imaging.
We are excited. Mounia Lagha will be our 1st Special Guest in 2025.🤗
📆 March 20, 1pm
The Lagha lab (@igmm-montpel.bsky.social) uses live imaging to study mechanisms of transcription & translation in living embryos. Join us for an enlightening talk next Thursday.

Valérie Hilgers and co-workers @hilgerslab.bsky.social @mpi-ie.bsky.social and @zmbh.uni-heidelberg.de show that the conserved #neuronal #protein Pumilio differentially binds to mRNA 3′ UTR isoforms to regulate localization of synaptic proteins. #neuroscience
