Transmissible Tumors, 1909: 'This was to become the first major result that solid tumors can be infectious and spread through what some researchers at the time called “filterable agents,” now better known as viruses.'

Hi folks! In case you're not aware, @WHO has an informational YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC07-dOwgza1IguKA86jqxNA I was just re-watching this October video of @mvankerkhove talking about the XBB recombinant, which was discussed at yesterday's presser as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfwJdi1tuys

A lot of Immunologists are (justifiably) obsessed with T cell exhaustion.
Very few discuss memory inflation 📈 despite its relevance to #vaccines and #aging

From twitter (03.01.2022)
For everyone joining the #fediverse in this next wave of the #TwitterMigration, here are a few of my favorite #feditips:
- #Hashtags are a must! Use them and follow the ones that interest you.
- #Follow lots of people, then trim back if you need to.
- #ContentWarnings are a kindness, but how/when you use them is up to you.
- Use #filters to make your feed/life better.
- Everyone here loves an #introduction post.
- #Favorite = You like the post.
- #Boost = Others should also see the post.
Postdoc position! Pls boost!
Want to devote your expertise in data science to accelerate the pace at which new medicines are found?
Join our lab at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA, USA to glean insights from biological images!

The Broad Institute provides a uniquely stimulating environment to advance and apply data science in collaboration with MIT, Harvard, and hospitals. (1/2)
A very nice movie of HUVECs stained with our live cell actin probe SiR-actin. It compares YES kinase depletion by siRNA to a control siRNA in a collective migration assay.
Read more about YES kinase, its VE-Cad phosphorylation and endothelial adherens junctions in this very nice article in Nature Cardiovascular Research by the lab of Lena Claesson-Welsh:

👩🎓🧑🎓Job alert! Join my group and work on understanding how force-transmitting protein oligomers at microtubule ends are held together. I have two positions open: one funded by QMUL for three years (home tuition fees covered): https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/dissecting-the-self-interaction-interfaces-within-oligomers-of-human-kinetochore-proteins-binding-to-microtubule-ends/?p152465
The other position is joint by QMUL and China Scholarships Council, for four years, for an eligible Chinese national currently residing anywhere in the world: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/dissecting-the-self-interaction-interfaces-within-oligomers-of-human-kinetochore-proteins-binding-to-microtubule-ends/?p152465
Our new review on acute liver injury mechanisms in children, with Dr Jake Mann, Dr Dominic Lenz and Professor Deirdre Kelly, published in Trends in Molecular Medicine. Happy to contribute on the role of viral infection 🤓 #liver #virus #immunology https://www.cell.com/trends/molecular-medicine/fulltext/S1471-4914(22)00299-4
Hello Mastodon Science. My lab at Yale studies innate immune defense against respiratory viruses. Some of our recent work has focused on viral interference, a phenomenon in which one viral infection can temporarily protect from another. This article discusses the field, and is thought provoking in light of the current resurgence of multiple viruses. https://www.science.org/content/article/competition-between-respiratory-viruses-may-hold-tripledemic-winter#.Y3fz7XHT75Y.twitter
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are key players in the tumor #microenvironment and for #Immunotherapy ...but how do we bring these #Lymphocytes into it? Here are some suggestions... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36366354/
So here I am. Thanks @cyrilpedia for persevering with the mastodon-related tweets and lists of migrating tweeps. Much appreciated 🙏
