You don’t need a brain to benefit from a good night of sleep. Despite lacking a central nervous system, jellyfish and sea anemones have sleep patterns remarkably similar to those of humans, researchers report.

Nature research paper: Bidirectional CRISPR screens decode a GLIS3-dependent fibrotic cell circuit

go.nature.com/45m7t4b
Bidirectional CRISPR screens decode a GLIS3-dependent fibrotic cell circuit - Nature
Integrated single-cell and spatial data analysis, combined with bidirectional CRISPR screens, identify the transcription factor GLIS3 as a key driver of chronic inflammation and fibrosis and a potential marker of disease severity in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Papers submitted on Tuesdays are more likely to be accepted by Nature whereas Wednesdays seem the most likely day to submit and secure acceptance to PLOS ONE. For Cell, Mondays and Tuesdays seem the best submission days in case of accepted papers.

Fascinating study on Anna’s hummingbird, one of the many beautiful birds I frequently see on the Stanford campus! 🐦 @stanforduniversity.bsky.social
Evolution doesn’t always take thousands or millions of years. Sometimes it happens right before our eyes.

Such is the case with the Anna’s hummingbird, a species that has undergone a dramatic transformation in a few generations, thanks to the advent of hummingbird feeders: https://scim.ag/3YMuQQu

Today's the print release of a #RibackLab and #GoodellLab collaboration— we’re excited to share the visual story behind the science, including the dramatic artwork that inspired how we thought about aberrant function of NPM1c - which occurs in about 1 in 3 adult acute myeloid leukemias (#AML).

Lachelle Weeks, MD, PhD, shares findings that demonstrate sickle cell disease may predispose patients to high-risk clonal hematopoiesis. This multinational cohort defined CH prevalence, age distribution, and mutational profiles in SCD relative to non‐SCD controls and other hemoglobinopathies. #ASH25
