Our new paper is out in Nature 🎉. We show that m1Ψ in mRNA vaccines doesn’t just quiet immunity, it also directly enhance translation by reshaping ribosome dynamics in a sequence-dependent way 🧬

N1-Methylpseudouridine directly modulates translation dynamics
Nature - N1-Methylpseudouridine enhances the translation of synthetic mRNAs, independently of innate immunity.

Happy to share our new preprint: Subcellular mRNA localization patterns across tissues resolved with spatial transcriptomics: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
We utilize VisiumHD to extract intra-cellular mRNA polarization patterns in epithelial tissues.
