1/ Do cells use phase separation to adapt biosynthetic output to changing demands? In our new preprint, we show that under nutrient limitation, the nucleolus enters a reversible ‘hibernation’ state that slows ribosome biogenesis. See doi.org/10.64898/2026.08.24.…

New @RibackLab preprint! The nucleolus's biophysical properties aren't fixed—they're tuned to energy availability. Under nutrient limitation nucleoli hibernate: stronger interactions, slower rRNA transport, rapid reversal upon refeeding. Led by incredible postdoc @Evdokiia_P 🧵👇

Congratulations to Salk Fellow Adam Bowman, PhD, on being named to Scientific American's inaugural Young American Scientists list. The recognition honors exceptional early-career researchers whose work is helping shape the future of science. Bowman was recognized for developing innovative microscopy techniques that enable scientists to study cellular signaling in living cells and tissues, opening new windows into how biological systems function in real time. We're proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition of Bowman's contributions to biomedical research that will help deliver a brighter future. 🔗 Read more: scientificamerican.com/artic… #YoungAmericanScientists #ScientificAmerican #Microscopy #BiomedicalResearch #SalkInstitute

Plants experience DNA damage every day from environmental stresses such as sunlight, radiation, drought, and poor soil conditions. But how do plants survive this constant DNA damage? 🌱 Salk scientists discovered that a protein called YAF9B is activated when DNA damage occurs, helping plants more accurately repair dangerous DNA breaks in stem-cell-containing tissues. The findings reveal an additional layer of defense protecting plant genomes and could help advance precision genome editing and crop resilience. salk.edu/news-release/how-do… #CropResilience #PlantBiology #PlantBio #SalkInstitute

Please join us in welcoming scientist Ian Guldner to the Salk Institute as a new assistant professor advancing foundational research on brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease. Guldner studies how brain cells communicate during aging and disease, with a focus on the cellular changes that may drive cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. Earlier this year, he published a first-author study in Nature revealing how aging promotes the accumulation of neuron-derived proteins within microglia, the brain’s immune cells. His recruitment was made possible by a gift from the Ray and Dagmar Dolby Family Fund. Welcome to Salk, Ian! salk.edu/news-release/ian-gu… #SalkInstitute #AlzheimersResearch #BrainHealth #Neuroscience #AgingResearch

Un estudio coordinado por nuestro investigador Jorge Casal halló un sorprendente mecanismo de adaptación vegetal a las altas temperaturas. Frente al cambio climático, podría ser clave para generar cultivos con más capacidad de sobrevivir a sequías. Nota: leloir.org.ar/plantas-calor
