Congratulations to the GSK-Crick Prosperity Partnership, whose goal is to discover new drug targets, on winning two prizes recently – a Horizon Prize from the @rsc.org, and the Innovation Enabled by Partnership award from the Society of Chemical Industry.

How does the Cryptosporidium parasite find, recognise and successfully invade the cells lining the human intestine without triggering immunity?
Adam Sateriale @saterialelab.bsky.social, Gavin Wright and Amandine Guerin have joined forces to find out, supported by a Wellcome Discovery Grant.
Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment has been the focus of a thirty-year research question.
Thanks to new work at the Crick, we’ve now recorded that missing step.

Read ‘HLA-DRB1*01:03 in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a genotype–phenotype association study’ from @sangerinstitute.bsky.social, @crick.ac.uk and @nihrbioresource.bsky.social in The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology, here www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
In a collaboration between the Crick and @embl.org, researchers used a mix of experimental work in zebrafish and theoretical modelling to discover a feedback loop between an embryo’s changing material properties, such as its rigidity, and the signalling molecules that guide patterning.
This research was led by first author @puehringertom.bsky.social and corresponding author Alessandro Costa @costalaboratory.bsky.social.
Join @davidbalchin.bsky.social, group leader here at the Crick, as he describes the fascinating ways our cells ensure that proteins fold correctly, and what happens when this goes awry in disease.

This research was a collaboration between the labs of Bernat Corominas-Murtra, @zenahadjivasiliou.bsky.social and @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social.
An international team of scientists, led by @charlesswanton.bsky.social lab at the Crick and @ucl.ac.uk and funded by @cancerresearchuk.org, have identified a signature of 14 proteins in the blood that can predict lung cancer risk over five years before diagnosis.

What we can learn from microbes preserved on an ancient frozen body?
