It is a great pleasure to share our most recent work on ‘rejuvenating’ nuclear speckles to ameliorate proteinopaties such as Tauopathy and retinitis pigmentosa. It is my first publication that is not related to biological rhythms and I am very excited to nature.com/articles/s4146…


I am so sad to hear the passing of Dr. Bert O’Malley today. He has been a great mentor for me and has always been my inspiration for pursuing science. The world has lost a great scientist and mentor today.

Sadden to hear the passing of Dr. Bert O’Malley, the father of molecular endocrinology, a long-time mentor, and friend.

Glad to see this paper finally out. It was a fascinating story when it first came out as a preprint a few years back.

Perhaps our boldest hypothesis… we propose a model for RNA Structural Memory propagation @NatureCellBio, 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

I completely agree.
