How do cells avoid the "kiss of death"?

Gap junctions share life-saving signals—but under stress, they shut down to prevent spreading cytotoxic damage.

#CryoEM reveals the molecular switches behind this process!

Calcium and magnesium in the pore of NMDA receptors!

Lipids play an unexpected role. The hydration shells of Ca2+ and Mg2+ could be the difference between permeation and block. So much physiology in the energetics of H2O.

Very stimulating work! Congrats @lab-furukawa.bsky.social

Events celebrating women in electron microscopy are rare, which made my recent experience at the Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C), Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, truly special. I had the privilege of not only attending but also serving as a young keynote speaker at this inspiring gathering. 🎉

✨Excited that the main project of my PhD is now available as a pre-print on #bioRxiv

Here, we used #CryoET to visualise mitochondrial proteostatic stress and together with SPA #CryoEM shed light into the functional cycle of the Hsp60:10 chaperone system. #TeamTomo

NEW: Hours before a new entry ban is supposed to go into effect, the federal government officially acknowledges for the first time that the restrictions do NOT apply to people who currently have H-1B visas.

Edlow EDLOW Date: 2025.09.20 Director, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services **00 SUBJECT: Proclamation, Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers, H-IB On September 19, 2025, the President issued a Proclamation, Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers, to address systemic abuse of H-1B nonimmigrant visas. Pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), the entry into the United States of aliens as nonimmigrants to perform services in a specialty occupation under section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), is restricted, except for those aliens whose petitions are accompanied or supplemented by a payment of $100,000. This guidance applies to H-IB employment-based petitions filed after 12:01 AM ET on September 21, 2025.| This proclamation only applies prospectively to petitions that have not yet been filed. The proclamation does not apply to aliens who: are the beneficiaries of petitions that were filed prior to the effective date of the proclamation, are the beneficiaries of currently approved petitions, or are in possession of validly issued H-1B non-immigrant visas. All officers of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services shall ensure that their decisions are consistent with this guidance.

Our latest work on the human P2X2 receptor. We identified an alternate desensitized state conformation that provides insight into how ATP enters and/or leaves the pocket.

Happy to share a new preprint from the Clarke & Vallese (@fravallese.bsky.social) labs reporting #cryoem structures of two RBC stomatin complexes – with AQP1 & UT-B - continuing the SPFH theme from our recent vault preprint! This was a fun one and has been cooking for a while - read on for more! ⬇️
Upper - cryo-EM reconstruction of stomatin AQP1 complex. Lower - reconstruction of stomatin-UT-B complex.

Wes Sundquist is one of the good guys. He is a scientists scientist and has carefully, passionately, and consistently carried his science out with this goal in mind. A cure for AIDS that is available to all.

This is an amazing recognition for him and for the @utah.edu where he has done his work.

Normalize talking about fed. $ when these headlines happen. Thousands of scientists, working for decades funded by the federal government did this. At times, people thought this was useless research. Below is some info about the HIV labs at the University of Utah. 🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
