🌿New paper from the lab out in @NatureComms We describe the existence of a new organelle (‼️): the Meiotic body. M-bodies contain a core constituted by P-body components, surrounded by a shell of Stress Granules components, and orchestrates gene expression during meiosis progression in Arabidopsis. We demonstrate that SMG7 acts as a core nucleator of P-bodies and M-bodies. And recruits the RNA helicase eIF4A, which plays an opposite role: limits the condensation of P-bodies, M-bodies and Stress granules. And yes, the size of the bodies is important! Cellular biology, biocondensates, protein translation, meiosis, plant reproduction and plant stress lovers 💚, you are welcome: rdcu.be/feByU

Thanks to the great @karlriha and everyone involved: @nehashukla041 , Sofia, Jan, @PavlinaMikulko1 , Anna, David, Zbynek, @hejatko. And the amazing imaging facilty @Ceitec_CellimCF at @CEITEC_Brno !

Preprint alert 🚨 (1/10) 🧵 Autophagy can promote resistance, susceptibility, or restrict cell death 🤯 So what is its actual role? We show it acts as a spatial organizer of immunity across cell types 🌱🦠 biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

🚨Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders? In our new paper in @ScienceMagazine, we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #EvoDevo

@mpggm1 @NewPhyt @CBGP_Madrid @jcpozito Congratulations Mary Paz and all the team! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

🆕 I am so excited that this is work is published! @NewPhyt @CBGP_Madrid @jcpozito nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Now published @NatureCellBio! Kinase KEY1 controls pyrenoid condensate size throughout the cell cycle by disrupting phase separation interactions nature.com/articles/s4155…

Some molecular machines, like ribosomes, persist for long periods in cells Could molecular aging of ribosomes shape how proteins are made? In our preprint we track ribosomes as they age in cells and uncover unexpected effects on translation (1/10) biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

ERC-funded PhD position: auxin in plant morphogenesis! Come to our team to study molecular mechanisms downstream of auxin signaling that control morphogenesis in plants! ueb.cas.cz/en/news/?id=23…

@massanagranaire I perquè ningú no parla de Gavi? És a ell a qui hem de fer fora per solucionar-ho tot. Després de la liada que ha fotut

Jo no vull gens que marxi Fermín, però s’ha d’haver vist poc futbol per creure que és millor futbolista que Dani Olmo.

Not #Boechera! We used genomics + cytogenetics to reveal that the mysterious Boechera calcarea is actually Parryodes calcarea, a rare Asian member of the Arabideae tribe (Brassicaceae): sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @CEITEC_Brno @sci_muni

More than 2700 3′UTRs are highly conserved. These 3′UTRs are essential components in mRNA templates, as their deletion decreases protein activity without changing protein abundance. Highly conserved 3′UTRs help the folding of proteins with long IDRs. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am very excited to share that we have been planning to expand our research to rice, a very important crop plant. Finally seeing these beautiful panicles emerging is an encouraging nudge to move forward in this direction! For more info on the lab, visit rihalab.ceitec.cz

The 2026 edition of the Postranscriptional Gene Regulation in Plants (PGRP2026) meeting will take place in Málaga (Spain) 🗓️ 30 Sept-2 Oct 2026 We’ve generated the @pgrp2026 account to announce info regarding the meeting We’ll be updating it soon! 🤩

Biomolecular condensates organize cellular contents. Most studies focus on passive phase separation, driven by salt, pH, or temperature. But what if intracellular movement also matters? science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Here, we explore motility-induced condensation in a cellular context.

@StressGranuleMC Congrats Monika and team! Very interesting findings 👏

Suprising results!!! Plants lacking RBP47, the well known Stress Granule marker are more resistant to high temperature stress 👀☀️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110… First manuscript from our group 👍 and collaborators 💪
