🦇 Fledertiere können verschiedene hochgefährliche Viren in sich tragen, ohne sichtbar zu erkranken. @mjkellner.bsky.social & @penningerlab.bsky.social haben nun die zellulären antiviralen Abwehrmechanismen in den Schleimhäuten der Tiere untersucht.

Hi 🦋! Did you know? Glycans—complex sugar structures—decorate almost every protein processed by the ER/Golgi. These N-glycans coat our cells, playing critical roles in cell interactions and immune processes. 🍬 Curious about how they vary? Let’s dive in! #GlycoTime

Perfect for our first post: big collaborate effort spearheaded by Masahiro Onji showing how sex hormones and RANK regulate gut expansion during reproduction 🤰🤱

Masahiro Onji @masaonj.bsky.social · Dec 4

Excited to share my latest paper, published today at @natureportfolio.bsky.social ! A big thank you to all our collaborators.

The paper shows how RANK drives intestinal epithelial expansion during reproduction.
