Now out in FEBS Journal - the RNA binding properties of human FASTK, a regulator of mitochondrial metabolism and a potential target for autoimmune diseases therapies! Congrats to Daria & mito team Dawid Mikołaj 🎉
big thank you @ncn.gov.pl #NCNtoTlen doi.org/10.1111/febs...
FEBS Press
Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA-binding prope...

Naukowcy w Polsce funkcjonują w tej samej, opowiadanej ciągle od nowa historii. W której wszyscy znają diagnozę i recepty, ale zmieniają się tylko drobiazgi.
Tak to widzę.
Analiza stanu nauki w Polsce poleca się do czytania.

Żadnych Nobli, mało pieniędzy, sporo pochwał. W jakiej kondycji jest tak naprawdę polska nauka

We have been granted our first patent on the method of mRNA enrichment for sequencing or diagnostics. If you're interested in pppRNA or cap 0 RNA, we're happy to help!

Cap 0 example: IFIT1 replaces eIF4E for yeast and will work for fungi, plants and many lower eukaryotes🦠🍄🌱

Thrilled to announce we got funded in the ERA-NET JPIAMR call!🎉https://jpiamr.eu/projects/funhitdisco/
We joined forces with colleagues from SE, NL, IT to work on new antifungal drugs!🍄🧫🧪💊💪 gorna.uw.edu.pl/en/news/jpi-... Thank you NCN for funding the PL part of the project #NCNtoTlen
JPIAMR funding for the FunHitDisco project :: Go!RNA Structural Biology Group
Our international European consortium including Maria Klimecka and Maria Górna will work on the development of new antifungal drugs!

I was playing around trying to make a nice "hello world" image for bsky debut💃 I don't quite know how I ended up with this one, but hey it makes sense, each one has a lamp to bask under😹 so here is "structural biology group working on antifungal drugs" by Copilot 😅 plus ofc 🐈‍⬛️🐈 make everything better
