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.
