Researchers in the Vosshall lab have discovered the first evidence of what happens when a female mosquito chooses to mate for the one and only time in her life. We spoke to @leslievosshall and @LeahHouri about their unexpected findings. See the full Q&A: https://t.co/4NODZOfc9n

Current treatments for autoimmune diseases have significant shortcomings, including high cost and supply shortages. A new alternative from the #RavetchLab achieves the same effectiveness when tested in mice at a fraction of the dose. @ScienceMagazine

The discovery could greatly improve patient experience and address supply shortages.

The #TarakhovskyLab, as part of an international team of scientists, has identified a new molecular pathway that shifts microglia into a protective state. The findings may lead to Alzheimer's therapies that can reprogram the brain’s own immune defenses.

A global effort, led by @leslievosshall and @nadavshai, just made the most dangerous animal in the world a lot easier to study—and perhaps defeat one day. Learn more about the first head-to-toe cellular atlas of the mosquito, published in @CellCellPress: https://t.co/uYkvlCMs7R

In @Nature: Using AI and other cutting-edge techniques, the Klinge lab has captured the first near-continuous "molecular movie" of ribosome formation—revealing, frame by frame, how cells build the protein factories that make life possible. More here: https://t.co/oslz0Zed5s

The first detailed look at how mosquitoes mate from @leslievosshall's lab reverses the assumption that male mosquitoes control the process, finding that a subtle female behavior dictates whether mating will take place or not. @CurrentBiology More here: https://t.co/Z8Sl0zysAS

Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPCs) are the gateways to the nucleus, but how can they be both rapid and picky, even for very large cargoes? To answer this question, we built the most detailed data-driven model to date of transport through NPCs. https://t.co/DWh3XMWZPL

Greg Alushin (@Alushin_Lab) is decoding how the body’s building blocks sense and respond to force, with implications for everything from cancer to developmental disorders. In this Q&A, he discusses where his work on the cytoskeleton could lead us:

Inside each of your cells, there’s a microscopic scaffolding that helps determine what the cell looks like, how it moves, and how it responds to its surroundings. This internal structure, called the...

A new @PNASNews study from @RoutLab_RU, working with a team led by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, solves the long-standing mystery of how NPCs make split-second decisions about which molecules to allow to pass through their molecular gates: https://t.co/dhcSJEzijE
