We welcome Gloria and Andrea to the lab, starting their #PhD journey with us today. Good luck and we can't wait for all the exciting new science to come!

RNA G-quadruplexes control mitochondria-localized mRNA translation and energy metabolism - Nature Communications Cancer cells rely on mitochondria for energy and macromolecule synthesis. Here, the authors show that RNA G-quadruplex dynamics, driven by oncogenic signals, regulate the translation of nuclear-encode...

Excited to present our new @naturecomms.bsky.social paper with Stefania Millevoi's lab on the role of #RNA G-quadruplex in mitochondrial RNA. We find that
#RG4 can be exploited to inhibit mitochondrial translation and disrupt #cancer cells proliferation.

Should biology put complexity first? The dictum “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler” poses a problem for biology. How simply can it be told without doing damage to its complex nature? The answer might be foun...
