I spoke with the senior author, Matteo Iannacone of #SanRaffaele in Milan for the #EMBOPodcast earlier this year about models for #SarsCov2 research, including dramatic differences between aerosol vs intranasal exposure to the virus in mice - the #pathogenesis of the disease is very different.

In synthetic biology classes, I ask students what biological function they want to create, and one popular answer is "photosynthesis in mammals".
Now, it's achieved! The authors transplanted membrane-coated thylakoids into chondrocytes and mice! Congrats!

'After more research, Ms. Corless made the startling allegation that hundreds of children who had been in the care of Catholic nuns may be buried on the grounds of the old home in Tuam (pronounced Chewm), many in a disused sewage system. Her theory was widely dismissed until forensic archaeologists emerged from a test dig on the site with photographs of commingled juvenile bones.'

'We identified three distinct types of ICI-myositis based on transcriptomic analyses. The IL6 pathway was overexpressed in all groups, the type I interferon pathway activation was specific for ICI-DM, the type 2 IFN pathway was overexpressed in both ICI-DM and ICI-MYO1, and only ICI-MYO1 patients developed myocarditis.'

Corporate funding for #academia often causes unease about the independence and integrity of such #research. Now, a study shows that academia partnerships with the #energy sector are more favourably inclined towards fossil fuels than to #renewables.
File under shocking, but not surprising.
Maybe you want to kickstart your year with some great science at the #AEKCancerCongress?!
I am so intrigued by this list of speakers - it will cover so much more than an ordinary cancer conference and really lives up to the title: "Towards New Cancer Therapies"

Exciting to see institutions like @ragoninstitute joining Mastodon!
I love abandoned buildings. The original mini comic versions of my comic series Incredible Doom featured locations from the comic abandoned and rotting, partially because I just wanted to draw them that way.
If you like this stuff as much as I do, you should follow @AbandonedAmerica
Congrats to Mirati on the Dec 12 FDA approval of adagrasib (Krazati). This is the second KRAS-G12C inhibitor approval after Amgen's sotorasib in May 2021. Just a short time ago the conventional wisdom was that KRAS was undruggable. Med chem ftw!

How small can you make a #genetics session?
Mendel, pea plant, dominance in the F1 and segregation in the F2. All in one stamp.
So this morning @elonjet was banned from #Twitter. This afternoon the personal account of the guy who set it up was also banned. Guess #ElonMusk has a personal ban button set up now. More #TwitterMigration incoming.

New here on Mastodon. My group at University of Virginia studies #devbio and #evodevo of adult traits in #zebrafish and other species, mostly pigment pattern and scales. Also work on skeleton, postembryonic stem cells, behavior, natural history, other topics. Always looking for new weird stuff.
I've worked on all of science, from B cells to T cells.
