For decades, scientists believed that stable isotopes in our tissues reflected our diet with a small correction. Our new preprint shows it’s more complex: isotopes actively shape biology and converge in surprising ways. Read the preprint 👉 [biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…] #isotopes #

🧪 Our hypothesis? Diminished conformational and vibrational entropy leading to accelerated kinetics. 🔬 Potential applications? Ultralight enzymes for scenarios requiring extreme reaction rates! ⚙️

New paper published. Hopefully our results will lead to developing novel biomarkers and therapeutic interventions against traumatic brain injury in the long run.

This toy example may change how you look at tSNE & UMAP. They find clusters in the most uniform data possible.

Our new collaborative study shows that NCF1-dependent production of ROS protects against lupus by regulating plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) development and functions. ROS deficiency enhances pDC generation through the AKT/mTOR pathway. insight.jci.org/articles/vie…

DOPA is just as good (or even better!) than Vitamin C - when it comes to protecting tissues from free radicals. 🛡️🔥 Proud of this largely experimental (!) work of our lab. 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks to amazing collaborators @RedoxDKFZ @RZLabKI @prisnerlab and others!
1st author Cluster Young Scientist Markus Kurth uncovers collagen, the main structural protein of all connective tissues, as a redox-active material & establishes DOPA residues as redox-active side chains of collagens 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @biorxivpreprint #preprint

New work from our lab at @karolinskainst uncovers massive solubility changes of neuronal proteins upon simulation of traumatic brain injury. #TBI #neuroscience #proteomics #TeamMassSpec
Excited to share our work, where we combine a novel apparatus with state-of-the-art solubility proteomics and simulate traumatic brain injury, to uncover mechanisms of neuron damage, for ultimate identification of diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

In our new preprint, we identify the O-glycosylated substrates of GALNT1 using versatile proteomics tools. Arguably one of the most challenging PTMs to study. We close in on a motif too.
