Glycosylation is among the most important modifications in biology. We know relatively little about glycobiology, because it is hard to study. This Nat Rev Methods primer describes our best tools for analyzing glycosylation 🔽

#LocationLocationLocation! Excited for a small contribution to the new work @cp-molcell.bsky.social by @raflynn5.bsky.social, Porat &co showing that mitochondrial DNA is exposed on the plasma membrane & can be removed by DNASE1L3, aberrantly accumulating in #lupus patients!

Almost 1 year to the day, now published @cp-molcell.bsky.social, our report of cell surface DNA + csATAC to detect and study it. Jennifer et al have added many new data including proximity network analysis of csDNA on PBMCs and exciting data from SLE patients.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.
