“The carrion birds sat about the topmost corners of the houses with their wings outstretched in attitudes of exhortation like dark little bishops.”

'By analyzing the genomes of 290 living people, researchers concluded that modern humans descended from at least two populations that coexisted in Africa for a million years before merging in several independent events across the continent. The findings were published on Wednesday in Nature.'

"To enable detection of which cells upregulate MHC pathways in vivo, we generated two novel MHC I and MHC II reporter mouse lines that express tdTomato when these pathways are activated, and used these lines to define their incidence and transcriptional characteristics in two mouse models of inflammatory demyelination."

'MalariaGEN is now a global community, with more than 200 researchers in more than 40 countries. From the outset it embodied principles of openness and data sharing, with Dominic often travelling to partner institutions to establish mutual trust. Together with training and the development of laboratories, this helped to ensure that the researchers gained the capacity to lead their own studies and dispelled any suspicion that rich countries were exploiting the resources of less-wealthy ones.'

'Critics of MCEDs also warn that a deluge of test results could put additional pressure on already overstretched health services. A Galleri pilot screening programme in Arizona for firefighters missed many instances of cancer, raising questions about accuracy. Companies might be putting profits above patient welfare by selling the tests before they complete the randomised trials required to prove they work and can save lives, they say.'

'Cuando hablamos de donaciones, tanto de sangre como de órganos, se genera una tensión entre la necesidad de evitar ponerles precio y el coste implícito del tratamiento de los tejidos. La sanidad pública y los profesionales que para ella trabajan son el dique de contención contra la mercantilización de la vida.'

'Comparison of Xenopus species that evolved through polyploidization revealed that metabolic differences emerged during development when cell size scaled with genome size. Thus, ploidy affects metabolism by altering the cell surface area to volume ratio in a multicellular organism.'

'Growing up to 15 centimetres high, with unassuming tan or yellow-green tops, death caps can taste quite nice, according to people who have accidentally eaten them and survived. But afterwards, the toxin can cause vomiting, seizures, severe liver damage and death.'

'The protest was started by Ilaria Lamera, an engineering student at Milan Polytechnic, before spreading to Rome and other cities including Florence, Bologna, Padua and Cagliari. Lamera had been commuting to university from her home town of Bergamo and when she started looking for a room to rent in Milan struggled to find one for below €600 (£520).'

"Using adenoviral and transgenic approaches to label neurons, we show robust protein biotinylation in neuronal soma and axons throughout the brain, allowing quantitation of over 2000 neuron-derived proteins spanning synaptic proteins, transporters, ion channels and disease-relevant druggable targets."

'Because semiautomatic weapons are illegal in Serbia, the state was able to respond quickly. The authorities did make some early blunders. Education Minister Branko Ružić traced the causes of the shootings to “video games” and “so-called Western values,” and was compelled to resign within four days. Police requested that schools in Kikinda and Užice deliver lists of “problematic and asocial” children (a request the schools rightly refused). But it took only a day for President Aleksander Vučić to deliver a speech promising swift action to protect public safety and to reduce ownership of illegal firearms by 90 percent.'
