Don't miss our cool event in Cologne @mpiage.bsky.social on 14 November!
We would like to invite all Rhineland RNA enthusiasts to attend our next series of in-person talks, featuring local and invited speakers. Highlights include the external talks by Didier Stainier, Simon Bekker-Jensen and Ranen Aviner. Please, register: tinyurl.com/RhinelandRNA
That is what the molecular aging clocks are doing: they measure the accummulation of stochastic molecular damage. Since those clocks are in use for many years already, the ansewer is: yes, we are doing this.

🚀 Don’t miss out the poster of our #CRC1678 member @nishahemandhar.bsky.social at the #EMBL Protein Conference — hands down, one of the most mind-blowing presentations out there! 🤯🤯
I'll be presenting our latest work, that explores proteo-transcriptomic changes that occur with brain aging and their impact on protein synthesis at the #EMBLProtein conference.

If you want to know more about it, come and spin my poster #129.

📣CRC 1678 is funding research visits for three early career scientists!
🔬 @thancbn.bsky.social visits @landthalerm.bsky.social @ MDC Berlin
🧬 @larahi.bsky.social & Car Elias Kutzner visit @picottilab.bsky.social @ ETH Zürich
We wish our fellows an inspiring and productive time abroad!
Congrats to David and team also for this one!!
Congratulations to our #CRC1678 member David!!!
Congratulations to our new postdoc Domenico DiFraia for his amazing paper in @science.org! 🥂 A tour de force on brain aging in the killifish. 🐟 Transcriptomics, proteomics, including ribosome profiling, PTMs, etc... Translation is key for understanding brain aging!🧬🎉

Altered translation elongation contributes to key hallmarks of aging in the killifish brain
Aging is a major risk factor for neurodegeneration and is characterized by diverse cellular and molecular hallmarks. To understand the origin of these hallmarks, we studied the effects of aging on the...

🧪Move over CUT&Tag, there’s a new #TranscriptionFactor mapping method in town.
Our newly developed DynaTag is faster, cleaner, more sensitive than #ChIPseq, #CUT&RUN and #CUT&Tag.

🚨 Happy to share our first pre-print 🎉 on the causes of ribosome-associated degradation of CFTR and other transmembrane proteins.
We explore how protein folding, ER insertion, and elongation dynamics influence translation arrests in this new class of RQC targets.👇

Principles of ribosome-associated protein quality control during the synthesis of CFTR
Prolonged translational arrests caused by defective mRNAs activate the ribosome-associated protein quality control (RQC) pathway, which marks harmful incomplete proteins for degradation. Multipass tra...
