Visiting NanoTemper and siTOOls in Munich.
A few impressions from our M.Sc. Biochemistry industry excursion @uniregensburg.bsky.social, joined by exchange students from @colorado.edu. Great insights into how scientific ideas become products.
Many thanks to both companies for the warm welcome!😊

in these mostly wretched times, you have to find joy wherever you can. last week my ad hoc band the Argonautes (me, Yuki Tomari, Germano Cecere) had a blast playing in Prague. we rocked some old and new songs, and can't wait to do it again in Toronto 2027!

YTHDF proteins and m6A-RNA clients undergo autophagic turnover during contact inhibition
YTHDF proteins and m6A-RNA clients undergo autophagic turnover during contact inhibition
Ho-Xuan et al. show that YTHDF proteins, commonly elevated in cancers, are selectively degraded upon contact inhibition through autophagy. They identify YTHDF2 as an autophagy receptor that binds GABARAP L2 and mediates the co-degradation of m6A-modified RNA in cells.
