NEW: Trump pardons the husband of GOP Rep. Diana Harshbarger.

Bob Harshbarger pleaded guilty to fraud & distributing kidney drugs from China that weren't FDA approved.

His wife was an officer in the company, but claimed she wasn't involved.

The WH says the pardon was not related to his last name

1/New paper from Zheng Wu, Phong Nguyen et al. @cri-utsw.bsky.social shows how cells balance the two pathways that produce purine nucleotides: de novo purine biosynthesis (DNPB) and purine salvage. The surprising mechanism involves NUDT5, a Nudix hydrolase

Cells generate purine nucleotides through de novo purine biosynthesis (DNPB) and purine salvage. Purine salvage represses DNPB to prevent excessive purine nucleotide synthesis through mechanisms that ...

Ecstatic to share out latest research looking at the role of mitochondrial ABHD11 in controlling T-cell responses. We think this may be a viable target for autoimmunity. Please do give it a read, we would love to hear your thoughts.

This is terrible. A brief statement from us:

Congress must stop it. We call for a provision in any CR/budget bill that explicitly declares these Vought shutdown firings to be illegal, null, and void.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Today, the New York Times published a long essay glorifying Jay Bhattacharya, the Trump NIH director. What?⁉️

Here’s the explanation:
That essay was written by the editor of a Trumpist Republican journal, funded by a Trumpist org that hates science.
SHAME on the Times. 🧪1/

People are dying, and many more will in the future because people in charge who, either, don’t understand how the system works, OR, are dead set on destroying it, are crushing every aspect of research, preclinical through clinical. We HAVE to stop these attacks on NIH

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.
