Two questions:
1) Does anyone have a reccomendation for a Drosophila anti-SuVar39 antibody?
2) I see this kind of questions becoming more prominent within our community so it may be a good idea to decide on hashtags to be used in the future. I can't think of anything genius right now so I'll go with silly #flyreagents or #flyrequest but feel free to propose something better!
Hello Mastodon.
I am looking for new PhD students to come work with me at the Oxford Internet Institute in 22/23 (@oiioxford) to study the future of data privacy and digital rights, the impact of AI and algorithms on digital platforms, and help co-create better digital futures.
Boosts very much appreciated! 🐘
In this #Review Natalie Bamford et al look at the impacts, but also the opportunities of biofilms #Engineer #BiofilmWeek #npjBiofilms @ukbiofilms

Hey #cilia & #centriole tweeps- we are just under two weeks from our deadline ⏳December 5th⏳ for abstracts for talk slots at 2023 GRC Cilia, Mucus and Mucociliary meeting in Barga, Italy! #RareDisease #Therapeutics #Biophysics #Biofilms #Mucus #CF #PCD https://www.grc.org/cilia-mucus-and-mucociliary-interactions-conference/2023/
Hi #ScienceMastodon, time for an #introduction!
I'm an #EvoDevo biologist interested in how tissue #mechanics influences the #evolution of #morphogenesis. I study a deep and mysterious epithelial invagination that forms at the head-trunk boundary of #flies during #gastrulation, known as the #CephalicFurrow (see video below!). Currently, based in Germany as a postdoc in the Tomancak Lab at MPI-CBG. Looking forward to meeting you!

Seventy more UK ERC winners face tough choice to stay or go: European Research Council announces 408 winners of 2022 Starting Grants—posing dilemma for UK-based researchers. (£) @ResearchEurope @ERC_Research
A belated introductory toot. I'm a journalist at the Financial Times, and currently work at Alphaville, our finance blog.
I live in Oslo, and I'm Norwegian despite the weird last name. (That means I am required to care more about the Eurovision Song Contest than any sane person should.) I also wrote a book, Trillions, which you should buy.
Btw, FTAV has our own server now, alphaville.club, which we might - time permitting - try to turn into a little community for finance geeks like us.
Modeling mammalian spermatogonial differentiation and meiotic initiation in vitro

"Here, we have identified the mTOR pathway as a major determinant of chemosensitivity through a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen. We show that mTOR inhibition causally leads to the emergence of a reversible drug-tolerant persister population with a senescence phenotype, which is dependent on autophagy and G2/M cell cycle arrest for survival."
'Seen in this light, the defensive survival circuits of humans and other mammals can be conceptualized as manifestations of an ancient survival function—the ability to detect danger and respond to it—that may in fact predate animals and their nervous systems, and perhaps may go back to the beginning of life. Fear, on the other hand, from my perspective, is a product of cortical cognitive circuits.'

Did you ever wonder about the differences between engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) in current T-cell therapy approaches for the treatment of #cancer?
Here is a comprehensive #openaccess review article by researchers at Miltenyi Biotec and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) summarizing similarities and differences by directly comparing the architecture, synapse formation, and signaling of TCRs and CARs: https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/23/23/14563
Human immunology from the Eisenbarth lab
"The aim of our study was to characterize infant gut food-specific IgA responses and determine whether gut and plasma food-specific IgA are related to tolerance to food allergens. We found that non–food-allergic infants make gut peanut-specific IgA. We next demonstrated that gut peanut-specific IgA did not correlate with measures of future peanut allergy outcome nor did it correlate with peanut tolerance. We also observed that gut egg white-specific IgA was higher in egg-allergic children and did not predict outgrowth of egg allergy. Our data also revealed that there are no differences in the epitopes targeted by gut peanut-specific IgA between peanut-allergic and nonallergic children but that epitope specificity is different between gut peanut-specific IgA and plasma peanut IgE. Overall, these findings challenge the commonly presumed protective role of food-specific IgA."
Doing an interview with the BBC to promote my upcoming musical “Allegiance” in London.
This is my legacy project, the work I am most proud of and am most eager to share with UK audiences. It tells the story of our community, when 120,000 Japanese Americans were put into barbed wire prison camps during WWII because we resembled the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.
Allegiance is a celebration of the human spirit over adversity. #NeverForget
