The #H5N1 #birdflu virus from a severe case in Louisiana shows it was developing mutations that could help it attach to cells in human respiratory tracts, including a mutation seen in a recent severe case in British Columbia, Canada, the #CDC reported today. www.statnews.com/2024/12/26/c...
CDC says H5N1 bird flu sample shows mutations that may help the virus bind to cells in the upper airways of people
The CDC said Thursday that the mutations, detected in a sample taken from a Louisiana patient, may help bind the virus to the upper airways in people.

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/

Looking for start packs for immunology/neuroimmunology, comp bio, cell and gene engineering, and biotech. Plz send! I haven’t seen any like this yet.

Dear @soren-lorenson.bsky.social
Creators of Foldscope here. Absolutely love the idea of a “little free science lab”.. I will prototype it in my neighborhood and report back. Let’s see what new materials people add to same. Reminds me of “hole in the wall” (old documentary reference here)..

I recently resurrected my website and added a space for me to dump all my harebrained ideas out into the void in case someone else with more free time stumbles upon them and wants a free harebrained idea. Anyway, here's one. magaro.net/cressida/por...
