🚀 Our new paper is out @natmethods.nature.com!
Kuffer & Marzilli engineered conditionally stable MS2 & PP7 coat proteins (dMCP & dPCP) that degrade unless bound to RNA, enabling ultra–low-background, single-mRNA imaging in live cells.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

🍹Sharma, Jiao et al. report glycosylation of small RNAs within #exosomes and propose a glycosylation-dependent mechanism for #RNA targeting into exosomes, which may influence intercellular communication and RNA stability in the extracellular environment.

Vertebrate retrotransposons are the future of gene therapy. But how do they insert their genes? 🔥🔥
Thrilled to share our new work now published with Kathy Collins, @nogaleslab.bsky.social @berkeleymcb.bsky.social where we investigate this with #cryoEM & biochemistry in 🧪 and cells! #RNAsky #TEsky

Check out our paper about naked extracellular RNAs uptake, TLR signaling, endosomal escape, and the role of RNases in regulating this process.

Ribonuclease activity undermines immune sensing of naked extracellular RNA
Castellano et al. show that when extracellular RNases are inhibited or absent, naked
extracellular RNA is internalized spontaneously by cells, inducing inflammation mediated

Dynamic regulation of neuronal Vault trafficking and RNA cargo by the noncoding RNA, Vaultrc5
Vaults are large ribonucleoprotein complexes of unknown function in neurons. Here, we report that the Vault-associated noncoding RNA, Vaultrc5, is highly enriched at the synapse and is required for ac...
