Looking forward to sharing this story in person at #RNASociety on Friday!
I'm giving a talk at the RNA and Disease session and Liza will have a poster (ID 528) on Friday evening.

Excited to be part of this collaborative work on telomere biology in pluripotent cells. We found that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) becomes essential for cell survival in the absence of TRF2, by preventing production of a dominant-negative TRF1 isoform.

Excited to share our latest work! We asked if and how TDP-43 regulates RNA transport in neurons and if this is misregulated in ALS. We found that it works to keep RNAs *out* of neurites, and that loss of TDP-43 activity results in specific RNAs aberrantly accumulating there.
