In a collaboration between the @hennig-lab.bsky.social and @olivierduss.bsky.social labs we revealed how proteins work together to control gene expression through mRNA translation repression! Using single-molecule microscopy, we watched individual molecules in action. doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧵

There are new stable red fluorescent proteins coming, but organic fluorophores are fighting back! Impressive photostability of Phoenix Fluor 555 for live-cell imaging with HaloTag, just out in @naturemethods.bsky.social:

🔋 Why does translation matter? It's the most energy-intensive cellular process! Cells have evolved mechanisms to regulate protein synthesis efficiently. Dysregulation = disease. 🧵👇
