NB I hadn't realised that @biorxivpreprint also incorporated the possibility of adding a graphical abstract to the preprint page, kudos to @richardsever et al

For everyone joining the #fediverse in this next wave of the #TwitterMigration, here are a few of my favorite #feditips:
- #Hashtags are a must! Use them and follow the ones that interest you.
- #Follow lots of people, then trim back if you need to.
- #ContentWarnings are a kindness, but how/when you use them is up to you.
- Use #filters to make your feed/life better.
- Everyone here loves an #introduction post.
- #Favorite = You like the post.
- #Boost = Others should also see the post.
"During systemic Salmonella Typhimurium (STm) infection germinal centers are absent, whereas extensive extrafollicular switched antibody responses are maintained. The mechanisms that underpin the absence of GC formation are incompletely understood. Here, we show that STm-induces a reversible disruption of niches within the splenic microenvironment, including the T and B cell compartments and the marginal zone."

No warning. I report on Elon Musk and other topics for The Washington Post and will keep doing so because free speech and transparency are important for the world.
In the last few days I ... wrote about Elon Musk. I posted links to publicly available, legally acquired data as well as links to Mastodon, which also now is banned on Twitter.
Elon Musk is free to ban whoever he wants from Twitter, just like people are free to take their speech somewhere else.
'The underlying causes of this quadrupling in diabetes prevalence since the 1980s are multifaceted and include rapid urbanization, increased availability of highly processed, calorie-dense foods, and climate change, each of which has contributed to fundamental shifts in population-level dietary and physical activity behaviors. These shifts have resulted in perturbation of complex gene–environment interactions in populations that may have been previously naive to such risk factors. With approximately 75% of cases of type 2 diabetes occurring in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), this raging metabolic epidemic also highlights widening gaps in health inequities on a global scale.'

Twitter has also suspended the account of its rival, Mastodon.
⚠️ And look at this tweet I just tried to do but which got rejected - look at the reason: Twitter doesn't even allow you to link to Mastodon in tweets now...
All more reasons for you to join Mastodon...

"The ability of thymic macrophages to engulf apoptotic thymocytes is well appreciated, but little is known about their ontogeny, maintenance, and diversity. Here, we characterized the surface phenotype and transcriptional profile of these cells and defined their expression signature."

if you had to crosslink a small molecule like a drug to an inert matrix (eg agarose or beads) in as random a way as possible (ie the small molecule will be presented in many orientations) - what would you choice of linker be? can you source the matrix+linker already made? Thanks!
'The virus is ripping through the Chinese capital just a week after authorities abandoned nationwide zero-Covid controls with little forewarning, leaving many Beijing residents struggling to find medication and access medical care. The surge is pushing the healthcare system to its limits, with medical workers in the capital asked to remain on the job even if they are infected.'

Elon Musk bought Twitter in order to suppress free speech and consolidate control of the spaces in which public discourse takes place to advance his authoritarian quest for profit and power. It's necessary to oppose him the way we would fight against any aspiring tyrant, any oppressor.

'Among other things, the latest report makes unmistakably clear that whatever Chevron, BP, Shell, Exxon and other members of the American Petroleum Institute may say about their climate policies, their investments show that they intend to continue producing and selling oil and gas deep into the future — and well beyond the carbon budgets implied by any of the world’s climate goals.'
