Researchers at the Crick, @cam.ac.uk and Sanquin Research Amsterdam have made a key discovery about how the immune system can switch from ‘on’ to ‘off’ so quickly.
The findings could offer potential new avenues for treating cancer or autoimmune conditions.

A global wave of resistance to the US empire must begin with ending Israel’s genocide
Building a global wave of resistance to US imperial designs is now an existential need for humanity, to save us all from the abyss of utter lawlessness, immense suffering, and possibly a nuclear war

TF-MINDI decomposes motif neighbourhoods, and works downstream of any sequence-to-function deep learning model. We deeply study the enhancer code in human neural development, check out the thread

Intrigued by a long-standing conundrum in small RNA biology—how nuclear Argonaute proteins silence transposons when they *need* target transcription for their own recruitment—we studied the piRNA pathway.
And found a hidden RNA-decay axis from Piwi to the RNA exosome.
