Update on the epidemiology of variants in Such Afria, BA4 and BA5. Great work by a big team, thanks for sharing https://t.co/cTdU3FZ3KA

It's so awesome and surreal that a single-cell atlas is now available for adult Drosophila. Could not even have dreamt of this when I started my PhD 10 years ago! Once more, the fly community is showing us the way forward when it comes to developing tools and ressources🙏

@MAG2ART Do we know the mechanism behind all the blebbing just before cytokinesis??? Striking phenotype!

Study in mice finds that noradrenaline--a key hormone in the "fight or flight" response--restricts the movements of white blood cells in different tissues, inhibiting their immune function. Learn more in @ImmunityCP. https://t.co/bgOq3y4KCT

Yesterday, President Biden reversed the United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization. And this morning, Dr. Fauci joined his first meeting as the head of our delegation. Here’s what he said:

Allow me to present some work I have been *very* excited about for some time: how to detect signaling dynamics WITHOUT live-cell imaging!

As we prepare to inject millions with an mRNA-based vaccine, it’s worth remembering that mRNA wasn’t even known to exist 60 years ago. The historic 1961 review by Jacob and Monod proposed its existence and it was isolated soon after (pg. 349). https://t.co/rikde1sycz

Charles M. Rice, Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, received his Nobel Prize medal today at the official Swedish residence in New York.

Here is a thread to explain the findings of this study, that used computational tools to predict T cell reactive sequences in #SARSCOV2 subunit vaccines.

The bottom line: there is no cause for alarm.

Here is why (1/n)

[Prof. Shane Crotty @profshanecrotty]

1/ Are RNA vaccines safe? I have gotten this question a lot lately, and it is a good question.

[Rockefeller University @RockefellerUniv]

The @RiceLaboratory worked on the hepatitis C virus for three decades and became the first to produce a version of it that could be grown and studied in the laboratory. Here is the lab today, celebrating @NobelPrize laureate Charlie Rice!

IFITM proteins inhibit placental syncytiotrophoblast formation and promote fetal demise. When reproduction depends on a protein derived from a retroviral envelope, antiviral genes that block env fusion are very bad. What a creative and important finding!!! https://t.co/pHB6cPpnh0

“Zika has completely fallen off the radar, but the lack of media attention doesn’t mean it’s disappeared. In some ways, the situation is a bit more dangerous because people aren’t aware of it.”

The Asian tiger mosquito, which carries a range of potentially fatal diseases, has now colonised half of all the départements in France and is here to stay, experts have warned.

The mosquito can transmit #dengue #Zika and #chikungunya
