How do tumors promote #hematopoiesis outside the #BoneMarrow? @TheKingLab explores a new #PLOSBiology study of the mechanisms, which may hold the key to disrupting #immunosuppressive #tumor microenvironments. Primer: https://plos.io/3AYeiZY Paper: https://plos.io/41jMOJb

If you have a billion dollars, covering a $6,000-a-month tuition is the same relative cost as someone with $60,000 being asked to pay 36 cents.
If you could earn the close friendship of a Supreme Justice for 36 cents a month, wouldn't you?

Hey #Drosophila folks: EDRC early bird registration deadline is coming up (May 15th)! Register now to get early bird pricing! And maybe I'm biased, but looking forward to some great immunology-related submissions 😛

Every student in molecular biology should learn about Hal and just the remarkable science and spirit of science that still shapes the @HutchBasicSci division @fredhutch even today. Here is one article that captures his uniqueness: https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2015/04/remembering-harold-weintraub-20-years-later.html

Good stuff from The Onion but I straight up heard this talk from some evolutionarily psychologist in around 2004.

A banca vai distribuir 1150 milhões pelos seus acionistas. Um resultado extraordinário construído em cima das dificuldades de quem vive do seu trabalho e de um Governo que preside a uma das maiores transferências de rendimento do trabalho para o capital de sempre.

"Covid was the fourth leading cause of death in the United States last year, dropping from its place as the third leading cause in 2020 and 2021, when virus fatalities were superseded only by heart disease and cancer, the National Center for Health Statistics reported on Thursday."

'A similar percentage of deaths from the same side effect followed in the clinical trial of Leqembi, an F.D.A.-approved Alzheimer’s drug from the company Eisai. A third drug, Aduhelm, was also approved by the F.D.A., but is rarely used because of concerns about its effectiveness and its high price. Brain swelling was reported in its clinical trial and deaths were reported in patients taking Aduhelm after it was approved.'

EMBL’s Dey group embarked on 2nd annual ‘labbatical’ to step outside daily research tasks w/ help of single-celled model organisms.
The group applied its usual high-tech tools and world-class expertise, but with a totally different model organism.

'The European People’s party, which has the most seats in the European parliament and is in power in nine countries across the EU, will call on Friday to scrap two flagship pieces of legislation put forward by their own European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen. The move could torpedo the commission’s plans to cut pesticide use in half and rewild a fifth of damaged habitats across the bloc by 2030.'

'Why was the Celera compound initially neglected? Because it was only years later that researchers at the US government’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) showed that overactive BTK drove the growth of CLL and certain lymphomas, so blocking it would inhibit these cancers. When Celera sold it to Pharmacyclics, it didn’t have any apparent application.'

We also have serial PCR evaluations showing that individuals who get HPV vaccines prevent HPV infections (or at least promote rapid clearance of the virus) which is a prerequisite for developing cancer:

For our lab's weekly journal club covering classic papers in immunology, we discussed Zheng and Flavell's discovery of GATA3 as a critical transcription factor for Th2 cell cytokine expression.
The Transcription Factor GATA-3 Is Necessary and Sufficient for Th2 Cytokine Gene Expression in CD4 T Cells. Cell, 1997.
Before microarray or RNA-seq, there was cDNA subtraction by representational difference analysis.
