BREAKING NEWS
The 2025 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai “for his compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art.”

Mary Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell – who have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine – gained decisive insights into how autoimmune diseases arise.

Brunkow and Ramsdell made a key discovery in 2001, when they presented the explanation for why a specific mouse strain (named scurfy) was particularly vulnerable to autoimmune diseases.

The medicine laureates had discovered that the mice have a mutation in a gene that they named Foxp3. They also showed that mutations in the human equivalent of this gene cause a serious autoimmune disease, IPEX.

The 2025 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”

While the PI remains at the forefront, the actual working force behind all the outcomes, i.e. hands and brains of team members, often remain overshadowed.

Also, why should only the girls have all the fun in Navratri/Durgapujo?

The sheer amount of paranoia that accompanies my travel in Indian Railways is something else. Last year my phone and wallet were stolen in the middle of the night, and now I’m losing sleep battling cockroaches. 11 down so far—me vs. pests, round two. 🚆.

Our study reveals a novel role of Yorkie, as a tumor suppressor.
A fresh perspective!

Grateful for the guidance of @sinha_pradip @NitinRammohan & the team's @fly_rachita @extrovert_alert @sparihar0706 efforts.
