plant biologist @CIQUIBIC @CONICETDialoga @unc_cordoba interested in the plant immune system
Joined February 2012
New Article: "Pathogen-induced condensation of the guard cell RNA-binding protein SAIR1 fine-tunes translation for immunity" https://t.co/qsJ2Ou0KFO SAIR1 forms phosphorylation-regulated condensates in guard cells, which link PAMP–MPK3/6 signalling to stomatal immunity.

Un investigador Asistente esta cobrando menos de 1.400.000 pesos (menos de 1000 dolares). Casi cualquier Investigador de CONICET puede conseguir mejor sueldo en el privado o afuera. Si esto sigue así, CONICET, tal como lo conocemos, no dura mucho mas.
Los científicos tenemos hoy los salarios reales más bajos de la última década.

Excited to release BoltzGen which brings SOTA folding performance to binder design! The best part of this project has been collaborating with many leading biologists who tested BoltzGen at an unprecedented scale, showing success on many novel targets and pushing its limits! 🧵..

El gobierno no va a financiar discapacidad, pediatría ni tampoco universidades. Se entiende la gravedad de ésto? Un gobierno que incumple la ley!
Como con discapacidad, el Gobierno tampoco cumplirá las leyes de financiamiento universitario y de emergencia en pediatría. Las deja en suspenso hasta que el Congreso asigne partidas para fondearlas. En el decreto reconocen que le comieron 40% a los docentes universitarios.

Today, we report Germinal, a method for efficient de novo antibody design, with @santimillef and @SynBioGaoLab. Germinal achieves success rates of 4-22% across diverse epitopes. We make the work fully open, without doing lame things like posting a preprint without methods. 🧵

⚠️Excited to share my latest in @ThePlantCell🌱! We show that chloroplasts form membrane contact sites (MCS) with the pathogen interface to drive focal immunity, mediated by a tethering complex🔗! Full story 👉 https://t.co/LE3SVlxp5i

Chloroplast tethering to the pathogen interface via membrane contact sites promotes focal callose deposition and strengthens plant immunity.

Please read here about a plant disease resistance protein that makes an octameric resistosome. We describe about its identification, architecture, action and assembly. Congrats to all involved. @GuanghaoGuo, He Zhao @mhz1989
@jonathandgjones @KamounLab @TheSainsburyLab 👇
New preprint! We report the largest plant resistosome ever described. We revealed the wheat NLR WAI3, a member from the mysterious CCG10-NLR clade, forms an unprecedented octameric assembly with a unique channel architecture. And the well-known RPS2 might work the same way!
