Interesting mechanism!

[BökeLab @LabBoke]

Have you wondered how a decades-old oocyte can give rise to a new embryo while other cells in the body age? Our study @Nature, spearheaded by @AidaRoNu, uncovers the mechanism that allows early #oocytes to maintain ROS-free #mitochondria https://t.co/eVQfeRWmVq🧵

Great thread on an important mechanism in kidney disease

[Veera Rajagopal  @doctorveera]

Enjoyed this great NYT article on APOL1, its association with kidney disease in African Americans and the related drug development efforts. It's story telling time. Let's dive into the story of APOL1 from discovery to therapeutics. 🧵

As a former physics student (MPhys) it’s great to see Finland’s data but disappointing the UK is behind the curve!

[Arttu Rajantie 🇪🇺 🇫🇮 #FBPE @ArttuRajantie]

Over the last 15 years, the gender balance of A-level Physics candidates in the UK has remained practically unchanged. In contrast, in Finland the percentage of females has increased from 17.8% in 2006 to 44.8% in 2021. It might be worth looking at how this change was achieved.

Cell division in the absence of DNA replication! Weird and interesting! https://t.co/1vtRPALh47

The single most undervalued fact of linear algebra: matrices are graphs, and graphs are matrices.

Encoding matrices as graphs is a cheat code, making complex behavior simple to study.

Let me show you how!

Vascular congestion of the renal medulla is a hallmark finding in patients with ischemic acute tubular necrosis. Findings from this rat model study suggest that medullary vascular congestion is a cause rather than a consequence of tubular injury https://t.co/Ws7umLy9R0

Really interesting perspective from @EdinburghUni heavy hitters!

Are we missing the right tools and approaches to manage excessive salt intake ?

CRISPR systems are quite diverse, including some, like CRISPR-Cas13, which target RNA. @soumya_kannan12 & @altaetran found tiny versions of Cas13b (Cas13bt) that can be used to create RNA editors small enough to fit into a single AAV for in vivo delivery. https://t.co/dvnC8l29uY
