The term 'affinity maturation' understates the influence of somatic hypermutation
Three recent papers quantify how nucleotide-level mutation processes drive antibody evolution.

S1P is produced in the outer lymph follicle area and degraded by B cells resulting in a negative gradient towards to follicle center. S1PR2 signalling on GC B cells leads to migration arrest, keeping B cells within the follicle. (🐭 data)

We set out to quantify U.S. academic contributions to medicines. The results stunned even us
From 2020 to 2024, universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs. 87% of those academic breakthroughs came from American institutions.

The bottom line with the proposed cuts to NSF is to cut the number of working scientists and disappear opportunities to train new scientists.
This is a PROPOSED budget to Congress. Call your reps.

Presidential budget proposes a 70% reduction in NSF funding for 2026 compared to2024.
Instead of funding 23% of proposals (2024) they will fund 7% (2026).
A perfect recipe for the destruction of American science.
