"Compared to 2021, we now have almost seven times as many editors in Latin America and more than five times as many in Africa. Specifically, while Latin American and African editors combined made up less than 1% of our editorial board in our last report, currently 7% of eLife editors are based in Latin America and 3% are based in Africa (Figure 1). The number of eLife editors in Asia has also grown, at the moment constituting 14% of our editorial board compared to 11% in 2021."
'Ex vivo staining of patient tumour tissue shows the formation of an acid wall below pH 5.3 at the stromal–tumour tissue interface with exclusion of CD8+ T cells (Fig. 4c). We theorize that polarized secretion of lactic acid creates exclusionary zones that exterminate CD8+ T cells upon cell–cell contact, which offers a survival advantage for cancer cells with strong acidotic properties'

Home away from home for a few months this year: at the Center fro Cancer Immunotherapy & Immunobiology at the University of Kyoto, newly established by Prof. Tasuku Honjo.
"Colograph
The works presented here are created with alternative materials rather than etched on copper. From squashed paper costumes to packaging and leather book covers, objects are inked with different processes, both intaglio and planographic. Scales vary and are usually life-size." Prints by @madparreira

Pictures really cant do these amazing pop-ups by @madparreira justice – it's almost enough to forgive the bibliocide.
'In this study, (Cubillos et al, 2024) employ cutting-edge methodology to elegantly demonstrate how both the emergence of a new gene and its transcriptional regulation contributed to the extraordinary expansion of the cerebral cortex in primates (Fig. 1). The authors delve into inter-species differences in gene expression and transcriptional regulation focused on EPIREGULIN (EREG), a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family. EPIREGULIN is known for its involvement in various cellular processes and its multifaceted roles in cell signaling pathways. However, its role in neural progenitor cell proliferation and cortical evolution had not been explored.'

I think candlestick holders always look better with cascading wax.

"The rich epidemiologic record of Kawasaki Disease cases maintained by Nakamura and colleagues at Jichi University documented the three nationwide epidemics that occurred in 1979, 1982, and 1986. One cannot escape the interpretation that these massive epidemics were caused by the introduction of a novel agent into a highly susceptible population"
Just finished reading & recommend "How I won a Nobel Prize", a novel about a STEM graduate student struggling with a difficult research problem at a very peculiar institution.
Julius Taranto, a law school graduate (according to the book jacket bio), evidently did his research:
"Scientists are constantly disserving one another in this way. Everyone declines to publish their bland failures – there is no professional angle in it – which thereby ensures that many other scientists will experience the same bland failures first hand."
