1/6 🧬New paper at @cp-cellsystems.bsky.social led by @sashafanari.bsky.social! Does pseudouridine (Ψ) dynamically respond to cell state? We used nanopore DRS + Mod-p ID to map Ψ in neuron-like cells under “normal” and “perturbed” conditions (healthy differentiation and unhealthy Pb2+ poisoning).

Do immortalized cells have a different RNA modification profile compared to primary cells? 🤔

@sashafanari.bsky.social @wanunupore.bsky.social @srouhanifard.bsky.social assess the most abundant RNA modification, pseudouridine, in primary and immortalized human T cells

Direct RNA sequencing of primary human T cells reveals the impact of immortalization on mRNA pseudouridine modifications.
Immortalized cell lines are commonly used as proxies for primary cells in human biology research. For example, Jurkat leukemic T cells fundamentally contributed to uncovering T cell signaling, activat...
