That's what the pluripotent stem cell field has been waiting for. Own cells, reprogrammed to iPSCs; differentiated into insulin-producing cells, and translanted back into patient, effectively curing type-1 diabetes! One patient. One year. But a tremendous proof-of-concept.
Now online! Transplantation of chemically induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived islets under abdominal anterior rectus sheath in a type 1 diabetes patient

Preprint alert in collaboration with @fraser_lab ! We identify that deleting GidB, a 16S rRNA methyltransferase, acts as an "automatic braking system" for mistranslation! Ribosomal RNA methylation by GidB modulates discrimination of mischarged tRNA

Despite redundant cellular pathways to minimize translational errors, errors in protein synthesis are common. Pathways and mechanisms to minimize errors are classified as pre-ribosomal or ribosomal....

We report many proteins not predicted by the genetic code. They are stable & abundant O( 10³ ) copies / cell. Generative mechanisms include codon-anticodon mismatches & RNA modifications. Their abundance depends on codon frequency & protein stability. https://t.co/lAxvulC4zx

Amino acid substitutions may substantially alter protein stability and function, but the con-tribution of substitutions arising from alternate translation (deviations from the genetic code) is...

The time to think and inquire are precious. Inquiring means to contemplate a problem without needing an immediate answer, to sit in the unknown long enough that different kinds of answers emerge. Important part of the process of discovery. https://t.co/4ieOlwNGWZ
