Our first 2021 paper reveals the prevalence and mechanism of a co-translational protein assembly mechanism in human cells: co-co assembly. Congratulations to the co-co team Kai Fenzl, @matildebertolin and @guenter_kramer! science.sciencemag.org/content/371/65… @Sciart by Marzia Munafò 1/6










I tell you what, you don't hear Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock talking about the £22bn Serco Test and Trace system as the way to control the virus anymore do you?


We are excited to share our Science Magazine study on RNA triple helices led by Seyed Torabi! Here we describe the structure of an RNA element that protects the poly(A) tail through the formation of a 3ʹ-end binding pocket and other RNA interactions. science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…

Beautiful work from Joan Steitz Lab - I remember hearing about this intriguing mechanism of RNA stabilisation after my seminar at Yale last year; very nice to see this published
