🎗️ Nobel Prize 2025: When immune tolerance met tumor escape!
Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell & Shimon Sakaguchi win for discovering regulatory T cells (Tregs) - the body’s immune “brakes.”
🔬 In oncology, these same brakes often shield tumors from immune attack.
Their discovery paved the way for:
✅ Checkpoint inhibitors
✅ CAR-T refinements
✅ Treg-depleting strategies
💡 From autoimmunity to cancer therapy- the same cells hold both keys!

ESKAPE pathogens: antimicrobial resistance, epidemiology, clinical impact and therapeutics
https://t.co/0nN5Pur82F
Miller & Arias explore recent advances in understanding ESKAPE pathogens, including epidemiology, clinical impact, resistance mechanisms and novel therapeutics.
Results are in. One of these was capable of 100% replacement of DMEM. The cells weren't happy about it, but some survived. But 80-90% and they grew happily. Stay tuned for the video to find out which!
A Matter of Trust – Research Misconduct in Australia
* Australia’s lack of a research integrity watchdog leads to wasted funds, misdirected efforts and risks to public health.

Biofilms can impact antimicrobial efficacy, as well as immune responses. In our 3rd most-read article of 2023, @RodneyRohde & @andreaprinzi explore how biofilms contribute to antimicrobial resistance & the establishment of persistent & chronic infections. https://t.co/vDD82w8Bab
Thrilled to share our review in @NatureRevMicro on the microbiome and its practical medical implications!🧬⚕️🦠🔬Grateful for the brilliant minds of @Suhaib_K_Abdeen, @dragos_ci and @EranElinav who made this exploration both fun and insightful 😊 https://t.co/Itn6rHNvVJ
While you obsess over optimal organizers, Productivity planners, Standing Desks, GTD and Second Brains, Albert Einstein made an impact from this war-zone of a workstation.
Perfectionism is Procrastination is masquerading as Productivity.
Happy #InternationalMicroorganismDay! Make sure to share your celebrations using our hashtag :)
On this date in 1683, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek sent a letter to the @RoyalSociety with the first description of a single-celled organism.
