Per què hi ha casos de tuberculosi a l'Institut B9 de Badalona? Els últims brots de tuberculosi han posar de relleu la incidència d’aquesta malaltia, una situació peculiar, ja que semblava fa uns anys gairebé erradicada. Una percepció clarament equivocada. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nclb...

Many bacteria use #QuorumSensing to control genes based on population density. @jrchandler.bsky.social &co explore a @plosbiology.org study showing that in P. aeruginosa, 2 QS circuits activate each other, enhancing robustness & explaining redundancy 🧪 Paper: plos.io/3I7DhRG Primer: plos.io/4niSZZd
System architecture of quorum-sensing circuits. Top left: Quorum sensing in proteobacteria. A signal synthase (blue) produces a diffusible signal (black circles) that binds to a cytoplasmic signal receptor (light blue). When the signal reaches sufficient concentrations, it binds to and activates the receptor, which causes changes in transcription of target genes. Top right: The las and rhl systems of P. aeruginosa. The lasB gene is activated by both systems. The specific acyl-homoserine lactone signal molecule is pictured for each system. Bottom: Illustration of circuit architecture: reciprocal, hierarchical, and independent. Indicated below are the relative levels of lasB gene activation and sensitivity shown by Thomas and colleagues in experimental and modeling studies.

1975 Nobel Prize for the discovery of reverse transcriptase, the enzyme that transcribes RNA to DNA

'David Baltimore, a biologist who in 1975 won a Nobel Prize for a startling discovery that seemed to rock the foundations of the fledgling field of molecular biology, died on Saturday at his home in Woods Hole, Mass. He was 87.'

This silver bull figurine posing in a human-like manner may have been buried in a ritual to mark a temple boundary 5,000 years ago.

Global warming may be associated with an increase in added sugar intake in the form of sugar-sweetened beverages and frozen desserts in the US, especially among more socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, according to study in @natclimate.nature.com: spklr.io/63327BH7qP

#ClimateChange 🧪
Rising temperatures increase added sugar intake disproportionately in disadvantaged groups in the USA - Nature Climate Change
Few studies have evaluated how climate change may affect dietary habits and nutritional health. Here, using transaction data in the USA, the authors show that added sugar consumption increases with temperature, especially between 12 °C and 30 °C, with stronger effects among lower-income and lower-education groups.
