METTL3 regulates exocytosis independently of m6A

In 2009, I went to Mount Sinai on a J1 visa. Those fruitful years in the USA allowed me to become a PI.

Fantastic meeting of the RNA Society of Sweden, with a lot of amazing science and fun interactions @sarshadlab.bsky.social @bellodi
Thanks everyone for joining us, and see you again in Uppsala in 2027.

It was great to meet and share our research at the RNA Society of Sweden. Great meeting, great science with Fatima Gebauer, @andershlund.bsky.social , Ru-Juan Liu among others. Great organisation. Thank you so much for the invitation @xis-aguilo.bsky.social Cristian Bellodi @sarshadlab.bsky.social

The IGF2BP1 oncogene is a druggable m6A-dependent enhancer of YAP1-driven gene expression in ovarian cancer Abstract. The Hippo/YAP1 signaling pathway regulates normal development by controlling contact inhibition of growth. In cancer, YAP1 activation is often dy

Such a beautiful story:

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

And so it begins — NIH is planning to terminate active grants that no longer meet the agency's "priorities".

Grants that were already approved for funding through peer review.

The pursuit of knowledge should be apolitical, inclusive, and forward-thinking.

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics.

At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me.
