We have optimized a human in-vitro translation system (HITS) for use in #ribosome research Our HITS: 🧪requires a minimal number of components 💵is cheap & easy to prepare 💡enables cap-dependent translation 📈is highly active online now: bit.ly/49xTdVa Cell Reports Methods

Congratulations Nenad!

Happy Birthday NCCR RNA & Disease, it was a joy seeing you develop and grow over these 10 years!

Not to be missed - register now!

👇Very interesting, indeed! 👇

Last chance to register and submit an abstract: abstract submission deadline extended until July 15. WE hope to see you all in Lisbon!

I am excited to share this story led by Yujing Cheng and Siwen Wang (not on X) in Cell which describes a new function for a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) in senescence and ribosome biogenesis. Read on for a brief 🧵1/ cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

It is official now: Congratulations to Elena Conti conti_lab for the NOMIS Distinguished Scientist Award!!! nomisfoundation.ch/projects/visua…
