Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH.
And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you.
A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n
Happy to share a new preprint from our lab, uncovering "spooky action at a distance" - for RNA Polymerase II:

We are thrilled to share our new pre-print on the molecular anatomy of nuclear proteasome in human sperm cells! #In-cellcryo-ET + #SPA + #LM! @piotrkolata.bsky.social @a-dsantos.bsky.social, @tomdendooven.bsky.social!! doi.org/10.64898/202...
My "News & views" was published today @natmethods.nature.com
Thanks @ritastrack.bsky.social for the invitation to write it and Allison Doerr for the editing after Rita left...

Day 24 of making proteins for #ArtAdventCalendar
The nuclear pore complex is a huge pore made of hundreds of proteins, that allows the flow of nucleic acids and proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm. It also looks like a wreath!
Merry Christmas!

I have a PhD position available with start date September 2026 at the University of Manchester.
Proteomics analysis of flow cytometry-based isolated pathogen-containing phagosomes
Due to funding requirements, this position is for UK home students only.

Day 6 of making proteins for #ArtAdventCalendar
This is a "nanodisc", which is a tiny section of lipid membrane, just big enough to hold a single membrane-bound protein, and holds the structure stable enough to probe its structure

Absolutely delighted that our latest paper is out today @natimmunol.nature.com. It has taken five years to uncover a role for cross-presentation in shaping the immune visibility of tumour antigens. A labour of love led by @drjonlim.bsky.social and Oliver Schulz. Great start of 2026!
How does a macrophage decide to eat or simply nibble? Check out our latest paper! You can also read this nice review. Congrats Caitlin for leading this amazing work!

I am excited to share that our work, in which we have dissected the signals driven by the nucleoside-modified mRNA and LNP components of mRNA vaccines that regulate germinal center (GC) responses, is now published in Cell! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

DNA is scattered with obstacles that stall RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and block the production of full-length transcripts. Two mechanisms are known to resolve stalled Pol II: transcription-coupled nuc...
This study dissects the individual contributions of the different components of mRNA
vaccines to immune responses. Nucleoside-modified mRNA promotes the production of
type I interferons that act on de...
