White principal investigators are consistently funded at higher rates by the National Science Foundation than most non-white PIs and relative funding rates for white PIs have been increasing. https://t.co/0duR6C8YVS
A @NatureBiotech paper presents a method called EEL FISH that profiles spatial transcriptomes in single cells in large, complex tissue samples. https://t.co/C8yMFdcevJ
New paper from the lab!
We developed a novel human organoid that periodically forms somite-like structures. The spheroid of human iPS cells elongates and starts forming pairs of somites according to the segmentation clock.

At least two kinds of bacteria have evolved electric solutions to gaining energy. These microbes, first discovered in mud, separate the reduction and oxidation reactions that release the energy needed to fuel life. Learn more: https://t.co/jXQVx1PhiM #ScienceMagArchives
Could a "pancoronavirus" vaccine protect us against another pandemic? Scientists are looking for ways to immunize people against many coronaviruses. Several strategies focus on the surface protein common to all members of the viral family. https://t.co/3e3bTanwK5 @ScienceVisuals
Oncolytic viruses delivered to the tumor not only kill tumor cells directly, but also potentiate antitumor immune responses by releasing antigens & activating inflammatory responses. This may allow immunologically “cold” tumors to become “hot.” Learn more: https://t.co/v9DVbgHPx9
A new mRNA-based vaccine catches ticks red-handed, promoting tick detachment and preventing transmission of tick-borne infection in guinea pigs.

Outreach by transgender scientists has highlighted the importance of respecting authors’ privacy and autonomy in correcting the scientific record. Earlier this year, Science established a new name-change policy. Learn more: https://t.co/ecldSlNHdh #TransAwarenessWeek
Using a combination of #RoseTTAFold and #AlphaFold to screen millions of pairs of yeast proteins, researchers in Science identified over 1500 pairs likely to interact. The results will advance understanding of cellular processes, the authors say. https://t.co/ZhfeJtPCyJ
If you guys don't know iBiology on youtube you should definetly check it out.
Best online video content on modern biology in my opinion

Been doing some research for a project on marine invertebrates microbiome and the squid-Aliivibrio system of course popped up and I have to say this is probably one of the most educational and overall cool videos I've seen in a while

Este mecanismo de las bacterias lo descubrió el científico español Francis Mojica en 2002, que lo llamó #CRISPR. Diez años después, las investigadoras Emmanuelle Charpentier y Jennifer Doudna descubrieron que este mecanismo podría servir como un sistema de edición genética.
Las investigadoras Emmanuelle Charpentier y Jennifer Doudna reciben el Nobel de Química por crear las tijeras genéticas CRISPR
Esta técnica, que permite cortar y editar el ADN, se utilizará en un proyecto del CSIC para destruir el genoma del coronavirus

Si te afectan las restricciones de movilidad anunciadas en Madrid, recuerda que puedes acudir a los campus con tu carné de @UAM_Madrid
👉Si eres estudiante puedes usar también el resguardo de matrícula
👉Si no tienes carné, puedes pedir un certificado a la UAM (¡lee tu correo!)
Descrito un mecanismo viral que modula la respuesta inmune y que puede servir para tratar trastornos inflamatorios y autoinmunes
Este recurso que usan los virus para evadir el sistema inmunitario podría utilizarse contra el lupus y la esclerosis múltiple
