D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson was born OTD in 1860. He conceived of organismal form as primarily a matter of physical forces, rather than natural selection.
He used diagrams to represent how networks of physical forces could deform one body plan into another.

🔥🔥🔥Exciting news! I just published a preprint on the #Ultrastructure of #PrecapillarySphincters and the #NeurovascularUnit. This study is based on the https://www.microns-explorer.org/ dataset by @AllenInstitute. Check 🧵 for more details, including movies of the findings. (1/15)
The Invisible Cities is a book everyone should read.
"No matter how fantastical those places are in Invisible Cities, he reveals that they’re all Venice. They’re all basically Marco Polo riffing about Venice. It’s his childhood home. Calvino touches on the idea of nostalgia, and I think in the ancient Greek sense of nostalgia—in trying to get home, you go off and you have these adventures"

"Personalized genome sequencing has revealed millions of genetic differences between individuals, but our understanding of their clinical relevance remains largely incomplete. To systematically decipher the effects of human genetic variants, we obtained whole genome sequencing data for 809 individuals from 233 primate species, and identified 4.3 million common protein-altering variants with orthologs in human."

"To capture the complex interplay between the tumor antigenic landscape and anti-tumor immunity in lung cancer, we integrated genomics, transcriptomics, immunopeptidomics, spatial transcriptomics and multiplexed immunofluorescence (mIF) imaging to investigate the antigenic landscape in tumors with variable degrees of immune infiltration"

'A single dose of the human papillomavirus vaccine is highly effective at preventing infections over three years, most likely lowering rates of cervical cancer and other diseases linked to the virus, according to a new study in Kenya.'

'That sense of phew, though, Bansal said, feels tenuous. The coronavirus’s evolution is not yet predictable; its effects are nowhere near benign. This might be the longest stretch of quasi-normalcy that humanity has had since 2020’s start, but experts can’t yet tell whether we’re at the beginning of post-pandemic stability or in the middle of a temporary reprieve.'

Wow. Hindawi is terminating four journals that had been used as dumping grounds for paper mills.

Impressive work by @deevybee who uncovered this mess in the first place.

Yes, in the olfactory system of #Drosophila, projection neurons respond with the derivative of the olfactory input, albeit somewhat meddled with intensity too (and further confounded by habituation). Useful to navigate odour gradients. See:
"Projection neurons in Drosophila antennal lobes signal the acceleration of odor concentrations" by Kim, Lazar & Slutskiy (2015) https://elifesciences.org/articles/6651

BREAKING: The pediatrics group suing to ban the abortion drug mifepristone has suffered a major breach. WIRED is reviewing 10K leaked files. The group promotes junk science & anti-trans views and has been labeled a hate group.
