Congratulations to all, especially Rockefeller's Paul Bieniasz!

Telomeres protect the exposed ends of chromosomes, but a telomere in the middle of a chromosome could break it into pieces.

New research from @rockefelleruniv has identified the protein that keeps this catastrophic event from happening.

This The Scientist piece features research from Titia de Lange's lab that reveals how cells prevent telomerase from meddling with double-stranded breaks:

Because octopus spend much of their time tucked away in cozy dens, their behavior has been hard to study in the lab. The lab of Marcelo Magnasco (Marcelo Magnasco) designed a novel gadget to capture cephalopod habits on the sly.

New findings in mice from the #FriedmanLab , the #VaziriLab , and colleagues at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai may explain how addictive drugs hiijack natural reward processing systems, creating the urge to use while throwing natural urges to eat and drink off-kilter. rockefeller.edu/news/35742-new…

1/ New paper alert! We describe the first children with inherited PD-L1 deficiency, with neonatal-onset type 1 diabetes. We compared these children clinically and immunologically with previously described PD-1-deficient siblings.
