Excited to share our new preprint on bioRxiv. 🎉
We uncovered a Wnt-induced phospho-switch of Dishevelled. This intramolecular coupling is mutually exclusive with FZD engagement and functionally required for the Wnt/β-catenin signaling. 🧵

A Wnt-induced conformational phospho-switch in DVL3 controls interaction with Frizzled receptors and Wnt/β-catenin signaling
When Wnt ligands bind to Frizzled (FZD) receptors, Dishevelled protein (DVL) gets multiphosphorylated by Casein kinase 1 (CK1). Although, it is well known that DVL phosphorylation relays Wnt signals f...

Can #creativity be learnt? A Nature Careers feature on Night Science featuring our Founders @itaiyanai.bsky.social and @martinlercher.bsky.social investigates this issue at the heart of #NightScience

Can creativity in science be learnt? These researchers think so
Time pressure gets in the way of ideas. Developing ‘creative oases’ and small grants for risky ideas can encourage innovative thinking in science.

Participating in Woodstock Bio #TCTeAC in Prague as a reporter for @natureportfolio.nature.com was undoubtedly the highlight of my summer. Thank you @odedrechavi.bsky.social @itaiyanai.bsky.social @natanellae.bsky.social and everyone who joined this wild confab!

Yes I did interview Vera Rubin for Discover Magazine long ago

Me: If you could visit another galaxy, which would you choose, and why?

Rubin: That's easy. I would choose to go to Andromeda, so I could look back at our galaxy and see what it looked like.
