Ribosomes in pairs: A survival strategy inside stressed cells.
When nutrients drop or temperatures shift, cells switch to survival mode. New work by @erin-schuman.bsky.social & colleagues shows that inactive ribosomes pair up via a ribosomal RNA link @andschwarz.bsky.social @muellermara.bsky.social

Time for a thread on our Christmas preprint β€œOrigin and evolution of acrocentric chromosomes in human and great apes”. I had so much fun with this project and paper. It will be hard to summarize in a thread, but I’ll try www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... [1/21]

We wrote a protocol article detailing induction of dormancy in stem cells, embryos, and blastoids. We hope that it is useful to the community. As usual fun to work with @nicolasrivron.bsky.social, Heidar and Dhanur.
