Thrilled to share our newest method for transcriptome recording using TimeVault!
science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
I am happy to share our last preprint, where we identified FASN as an endodsRNA-associated factor and demonstrated that its depletion triggers endodsRNA accumulation and a stronger antiviral response to exogenous dsRNAs, #rna,#interferon,#immunometabolism

🐣 So happy! With @francesconica13 and many others we’ve put together a network of >20 labs in Milan working on various flavors of RNA biology. Looking forward to a year of stellar talks by students and postdocs, new ideas, collaborations and much more @RNASociety @lexogen
🚀The Milan #RNASalon is on!
21 labs working on RNA biology from 10 institutions in Milan meeting monthly for scientific talks, new collaborations, networking and much more. Kick-off 29 Nov at HT. Many thanks to @RNASociety and @lexogen for their support! humantechnopole.it/en/traini…

Very sad to hear this news. Dr. Diane Griffin was an inspirational leader and scientist who was a pioneer in virology. She paved the way for other women to pursue and succeed in science. She will be sorely missed. Her legacy will live on 💐
Mourning the loss of Dr. Diane Griffin, who passed away on Monday.
Dr. Griffin was a founding member of @CMM_JHU and chaired our advisory board. A distinguished virologist, she was an elected member of Natl Acad Sci and Natl Acad Med. We remember her with gratitude.
Huge congrats to Charline Pasquier, PhD student in @LabPfeffer,@arn67Ibmc on winning one of the 5 best poster prize at #NAIS2024 in Avignon. So well deserved and so proud of you!#dsRNA #innateimmunity #womeninscience #proudmentor

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine focuses on the discovery of a vital regulatory mechanism used in cells to control gene activity. Genetic information flows from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA), via a process called transcription, and then on to the cellular machinery for protein production. There, mRNAs are translated so that proteins are made according to the genetic instructions stored in DNA. Since the mid-20th century, several of the most fundamental scientific discoveries have explained how these processes work.
In 1993, this year's Nobel Prize laureates published unexpected findings describing a new level of gene regulation, which turned out to be highly significant and conserved throughout evolution. They discovered microRNA, a new class of tiny RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene regulation.
