'There was no military reason to bomb Gernika. No barracks or munitions factories of significance were to be found there. Nor was the town on the front lines. Politically, people identified it with Basque culture and independence. Attacking it was the equivalent of targeting the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, but not the navy yard to the south of the city.'

My latest Clinical Pipeline column for #NatureMedicine, on fitusiran, a small interfering RNA for the treatment of hemophilia A or B. It may be particularly useful for patients with inhibitors (antibodies against clotting factors).

#Viruses infecting #bacteria & #archaea are often identified via metagenomics, but information regarding #phage hosts is lost. @simroux_virus &co present iPHoP, a new tool to maximize host prediction for #metagenome-assembled virus genomes #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/41A5QvG

"In the US, manufacturers can set drug prices freely. Drugs are priced primarily on the basis of what the market will bear, with no association, for example, to therapeutic value or research and development costs and with prices exceeding those of all other countries."

'Given the vaccine nationalism seen during COVID-19, and that pandemic treaty negotiations are still nascent, there is a risk that governments, particularly those in high-income countries, will use advance purchase agreements to secure national supply of scarce vaccine resources during a future influenza pandemic.'

“Generative network modeling reveals quantitative definitions of bilateral symmetry exhibited by a whole insect brain connectome”, Pedigo et al. 2023 https://elifesciences.org/articles/83739
“This important work demonstrates a significant asymmetry between the connectivity statistics of the left and right hemispheres of the Drosophila larva brain. The evidence supporting the conclusions is compelling and represents a first step toward the development of statistical tests for comparing pairs of connectomes more generally.”

'Under pressure from their government, Chinese scientists have withheld data, withdrawn genetic sequences from public databases and altered crucial details in journal submissions. Western journal editors enabled those efforts by agreeing to those edits or withdrawing papers for murky reasons, a review by The Times of over a dozen retracted papers found.'

'Cancers that pass from one host to another are rare in nature, but can have devastating effects, says study co-author Rodrigo Hamede, a disease ecologist at the University of Tasmania in Hobart. “In a matter of 10 years, we lost between 60–70% of the overall [devil] population,” he says.'
