Among the pioneers in discovering and characterizing light sensing and physiological responses in bacterial chemotrophic pathogens such as Acinetobacter baumannii, we now show that these microorganisms exhibit light-modulated circadian rhythms. https://t.co/fmy87GGke1

#Guanidine was known since the 1870s to affect muscle function. Vertebrates have guanidine-sensing #riboswitch RNAs linked to genes relevant to muscle disorders, including some for Ca2+ signaling and others relevant to #ataxia symptoms. @NatureComms https://t.co/TdoTLvIL0t

Happy to share that our lab got funded through Spain’s PID2024 call!! We'll be exploring how RNA structure, not just sequence, shapes lncRNA function across evolution. Congrats to those selected, and strength to those who weren’t in this highly competitive process.
