New preprint: eukaryotic origins! 🥁

We propose that iron -not oxygen- may have delayed the rise of complex life. Our model reframes the “oxygen delay” puzzle: the gap between atmospheric O2 and early eukaryotic fossils may reflect iron-mediated stress, not for O2:

Move over mitochondria, a new organelle called the nitroplast is here.

In a Science study last year, researchers reported that a nitrogen-fixing organelle has been identified in a marine alga.

Glad to share our latest paper published in Science Advances! In this work, we show that #light and #CO₂ regulate #TOR through cytoplasmic #dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), revealing a key metabolic link in TOR signaling.@ibvf-sevilla.bsky.social @science.org science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adu1240
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate generated in the chloroplast mediates the activation of TOR by CO2 and light
Light and CO2 activate the eukaryotic TOR kinase through the central metabolite dihydroxyacetone phosphate.

Great work!!
Shout-out to @pierredupuy.bsky.social and colleagues!
Excited to share our latest study, where we uncovered a previously unknown bacterial defense system in M. #tuberculosis: effluxosomes — dynamic membrane clusters that coordinate resistance to multiple toxic metals.

Very interesting work in E.coli!! Would like to see it tested in other organisms especially those using Cu inside the cells like cyanobacteria ...

Prokaryotic mechanosensitive channels mediate copper influx
Copper is an essential micronutrient in all kingdoms of life, requiring a meticulous balance between acquisition and toxic overload. While copper import in eukaryotes has been investigated extensively...

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

So long, Asilomar! Now on my way back to Madrid—quite a hassle due to the strike at Munich Airport ☹️—while reflecting on 3 days of intense discussions on SynBio & Gen Eng. Memorable event, engaging a most diverse group of people & being exposed to a whole bunch of fertile minds in an unique venue 😃

Cyanobacteria are some of the most abundant organisms on the planet. New research shows that silvery bridges link three, four, and sometimes 10 of the photosynthetic cells together. https://buff.ly/3Pqe7xN
