Gas vesicles are protein shells that trap gas and reflect soundwaves, meaning they show up on ultrasound scans. Discovered in 1895, gas vesicles can today be used to "hear" cells moving through the body—with staggering possibilities for medicine. This is their story. 🔻

I remember when we last won the World Cup in 2011 during my masters at BHU. We walked from our hostels to the Lanka gate BHU Official. I could not do anything like that now but the excitement is always there. Congratulations team India. TRIDIB MAHATA🇮🇳 BCCI T20 World Cup

In June 1980, the Supreme Court ruled that scientists could patent living organisms that had been genetically altered. Their decision made the modern biotechnology industry possible. This is the story of Diamond v. Chakrabarty. press.asimov.com/articles/gmo-p…

My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹) 1/

Preprint alert 🚨! I present you the second and final manuscript on the BASEL phages! 36 new deeply characterized phages from viral groups that were so far mostly terra incognita - and all infect the E. coli K12 lab strain with easy tricks. 1/12 tinyurl.com/3xdt65f5

Have you ever wanted to design protein binders with ease? Today we present 𝑩𝒊𝒏𝒅𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒕, a user-friendly and open-source pipeline that allows to anyone to create protein binders de novo with high experimental success rates. Bruno Correia Sergey Ovchinnikov biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Did you know that bacteria remember their past for many generations? In this new preprint from us (Alexis Villani and Senen Mendoza) and Banin lab (Esther Shmidov ), we reveal the "how?" and "why?" underlying a long-standing mystery in bacterial memory. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you think the next big idea in your field will come from inside the field, you're probably wrong.

The older I get, the more I realize that much of what I learned in biology class was wrong or majorly simplified. The Central Dogma is one such example. We're honored to have worked with Matthew Cobb, the great historian of science, on this one.

In a game of 64 squares, you've opened a world of endless possibilities. Congratulations, Gukesh D, on becoming the 18th World Champion at just 18! Following in Vishy’s footsteps, you're now guiding the next wave of Indian chess prodigies. 🇮🇳♟️🏆

Our second book is now available for pre-order. 🎉 Embracing the book's technology theme, we did something special: We encoded the entire book into DNA & packaged it into stainless steel capsules, where it will live for tens of thousands of years. 1,000 copies were made... 🧵

Phage people - does anyone have a lambda phage with a deletion/mutation in the integrase gene (unable to lysogenize)? If so, can you please share it with us to help us test a cool hypothesis? Thanks! Please RT.

Excited to share my paper in Nature Communications! 🎉 We uncover how #UFC1 uses different oxyanion hole mechanisms — and reveal how the T106I mutation disrupts this, leading to impairments in human brain development. #Ufmylation #OxyanionHole nature.com/articles/s4146…

1/6 I used to speak out when it wasn’t popular — when common sense felt rare. That same common sense shaped how I raised my daughters, with just clear, honest, grounded parenting. Now I’ve turned that into something practical: a parenting guide + AI tool any parent can use 👇
