10 Questions with Professor Anže Županič

Q1. Who inspired you to become a scientist? No one individual, really. I was always fascinated by things I didn’t understand, so pursuing science felt like a natural progression for me. Q2. What drives your research interest? With a background in electrical engineering, I view science primarily as a vehicle for complex problem-solving. Currently, I […]

Translatomics for MYC, RPE65 and liver morphology

Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Sheinberger et al. used high-throughput screening to identify compounds that drive MYC mRNA into stress granules, with ribosome profiling confirming that this mechanism significantly […]

Translatomics for B. pertussis, myeloma and E. coli

Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Creech et al. find through ribosome profiling and RNA-seq that the whole cell pertussis vaccine induces translation of immune genes better than the acellular […]

Translatomics for circRNAs, rtSPIRE1 and G3BP1 cleavage

Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Yang et al. find using rats as model organisms, that a set of circRNAs are involved in development of the CNS and spinal cord repair. Polysome […]

Translatomics for mitochondria, bacteria, and yeast

Recent Publications Harnessing the Power of Translatomics Every week we provide a digest of a small number of recent interesting papers in the field of translatomics. In this week’s Sunday papers, Zhao et al. show that Stuxnet regulates Uhg5 and parkin to balance mitochondrial translation, mitophagy, and sleep, with implications for neurodegeneration. Choi et al.
