We have wondered what a complex archaeal cell might look like ever since 2014. It’s been a long road (and the journey is far from over), but it’s a good time to pause for breath and look. These Asgard archaeal cells are a surprise! And that is the joy of being a cell biologist.

MSc Madhukar Vedantham’s doctoral study showed that the enzyme PARP14 is active in the intestine's frontline tissue epithelial sheet and that its absence makes inflammatory injury worse in experimental models.

🎩 Vedantham defencs the dissertation on Friday, 24 October.

Doctoral study maps the enzyme PARP14’s role in protecting the intestinal lining during inflammation
MSc Madhukar Vedantham’s doctoral study showed that the enzyme PARP14 contributes to how the gut lining withstands inflammatory stress in both chronic disease and infection.

1/11 In @science.org: A new perspective on how our intestines renew. Cells are not “pushed out” by crowding or die from apoptosis. Instead, cells play a mechanical tug-of-war, where weaker cells extrude, reframing gut renewal as force-regulated. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Epithelial tension controls intestinal cell extrusion
Cell extrusion is essential for homeostatic self-renewal of the intestinal epithelium. Extrusion is thought to be triggered by crowding-induced compression of cells at the intestinal villus tip. In th...

I miss when the biggest controversy about mRNA was whether it correlated with protein or not.

Abuse of power, bullying, belittling, insulting, sexism-------
Systemic failure of academia and research. This is just a tip of multiple icebergs.

Hoping this blows up.

Hello. This is my first post here (I never posted on Twitter too, but here I am). Just wanted to say Hello 👋 to everyone.
I'm a PhD researcher at University of Turku. I like Intestinal inflammation and infection a lot. Highly fascinated with any interactions there. Drop a 'hello' if you can relate.
