Thats a lot of words to say we fear for Pubmed's future, we must have an alternative, to preserve and distribute knowledge.

Oxidative phosphorylation complexes contain subunits encoded by both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. How do cells coordinate the synthesis and assembly of these complexes at the inner membrane? We teamed up with Martin Ott (@mitolab.bsky.social) to address this in two recent papers.

Did you know that changes in pre-mRNA 3' cleavage and RNAPII termination can go in different directions? Even more, the spacing between these two events is linked to the gene expression level❗️Check out our latest pre-print to learn more tiny.cc/330w001 1/6

Before condensates, these IDR-rich proteins were often dismissed as “just linkers” or “flexible regions.” LLPS gave us the opportunity to discuss how weak, multivalent interactions can drive spatial organization.
