During pregnancy, fetal cells invade maternal tissues and can persist for decades, but their effect on maternal health remains largely obscure.
To learn more, @amy_boddy@UCSB_Anthro and @KroneisT@MedUniGraz started the @evochimerism project.

🤰🧬👶 Amazing new work suggesting fetal #microchimerism hangs around after pregnancy and is impt for maternal immune modulation BUT younger sib cells displace the older sib microchimerism in subsequent pregnancy 🤯
@evochimerism@amy_boddy@TiffPanzee Awesome!!! This will be the start of the microchimerism-goes-public efforts heavily supported by the MC Team.
... to be continued 😃
Hey Bay Area Folks!! Gather around for Genetic Ghost stories at the Exploratorium- Thurs April 27th in San Francisco. Team members @amy_boddy and @TiffPanzee will be there talking about "cells from another" -aka microchimerism!!!

Beautiful perspective @NatureMedicine about the impact of the Human Cell Atlas on medicine by @jennyErood with Sarah @teichlab and Aviv Regev. Great summary of resources as well as open challenges!

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”
2/3 OA patients first surgery is followed by quite some more. One third level ICU after anastomosis and a short stay. But also for them establishing continuity is only the minimum requirement for surviving: stay vigilant! Thx for TOFS efforts helping improving QoL ❤️
