The Zhu lab studies the moon/tide-related 12h ultradian clock; xbp1, proteostasis, epigenetic, metabolism, aging, stress response are the key words. @AgingPitt

This is like AlphaFold, but for protein localisation rather than folding It's a deep learning model that predicts a protein's subcellular compartment based on its amino acid sequence alone:

Interesting work. 12h rhythms of lipid metabolism in the Drosophila fat body, independent of the circadian clock. Circadian clock-independent ultradian rhythms in lipid metabolism in the Drosophila fat body - Journal of Biological Chemistry jbc.org/article/S0021-…

Academic scientists complain often about the hardship of their chosen career, but in reality research in academia is among the best jobs in the universe. I am at the end of my career, and here are my reasons why I would do it again any day:

Perhaps our boldest hypothesis… we propose a model for RNA Structural Memory propagation Nature Cell Biology, where RNA conformation is reshaped by stress, locked by RBPs, copied prion-like in condensates & passed across generations—all without altering DNA.🧵 rdcu.be/eBwPJ
