Very cool work by @thevirusmc.bsky.social and @plantophagy.bsky.social about how autophagy protects from cell death in defense of viral infection in plants.
Happy to announce that I have started my own research group at the MPIPZ and that I am looking for a postdoc who would like to investigate Marchantia prothallus development with me! Please spread the word and/or apply if interested :)
This is truly aggravating.
This is such a cool principle! I had never thought about it, but it makes so much sense.
Das ist nicht nur in den Geisteswissenschaften der Fall. Ich zerbreche mir auch regelmäßig den Kopf darüber wie ich die Studierenden motivieren kann ihre Aufgaben selbstständig zu machen. Selbst wenn ich um handschriftliche Anfertigungen bitte, werden sie teilweise von der KI abgeschrieben.

Catalogue entries for more than 100 antibodies sold by the research services and supply company Thermo Fisher Scientific contain images that have apparently been manipulated, according to a pair of science sleuths.

Our work is out now! (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). We discover a selective autophagy pathway that protects plants from the mess caused by RNA viruses. Intrigued? Follow the spaghetti trail for a summary of our findings🧵-->
Ein super Text (und ein trauriger) über das Problem von KI in der Lehre. Die Dimensionen sind wohl noch viel größer: Wofür ein Studium der Geisteswissenschaften, wenn KI nicht nur das Lesen, sondern auch das Schreiben übernimmt

Scientists have long worried about the reliability of commercial antibodies, and the latest findings have sparked fresh concerns.

RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...
🌱🧬 Plants sense barrier injury through gas diffusion. Ethylene leaks out, oxygen enters. This triggers periderm regeneration. Fixed barrier restores original gas levels.

A study using Arabidopsis shows that plants can monitor the integrity of their outer barriers by sensing gas diffusion, enabling them to initiate wound repair to prevent water loss and pathogen entry.
