🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

A few weeks ago, I had to discuss about DynaTag, a smart tweak to CUT&Tag that enables single-cell transcription factor mapping with just a buffer change.
Opening a number of future avenues.

Of David's countless accomplishments is the important work that Matt Porteus did in his lab on early-stage genome editing with engineered nucleases (pubmed 12730593).
He and Matt both speak about this in the documentary "Human Nature."
A true titan.

Thanks to Nina and all of the team!
Metformin alters mitochondria-related metabolism and enhances human oligodendrocyte function
Nature Communications - Metformin is under clinical trial for brain neuroprotection but how it may work is poorly understood. Here, the authors show that metformin helps myelin formation by human...

A careful, comprehensive and creative characterization of T cell dynamics in response to pathogens, with all credits going to @rohamparsa.bsky.social who just opened his lab!
Excited to share our new preprint! We studied how T cells are functionally & clonally shaped across organs over time. With the new TRACK mice, we genetically label recently activated T cells with tdTomato and track their migration across tissues. #immunology #science www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tillbaka i tjänst och första texten handlar naturligtvis om RFK jr. Det är svårt att ignorera allt som han gör och förstör. (Premium, men kan läsas om man har en prenumeration på någon Bonnier-titel via Plus allt)
Kennedys stopp för mRNA-forskning är en present till antivaxxare
Kennedys pengastopp till mRNA-forskning i USA riskerar att hindra medicinska framsteg. Dessutom ger han antivaxxare ännu fler skäl att misstro myndigheter.

Herregud vad uselt chefredaktören på DN svarar. Det är så pinsamt, så skamligt. Återigen: ingen av alla dessa medlöpare och självpåtagna censorer som bidragit till att folkmordet har fått fortgå ohejdat ska någonsin få glömma det.
Röstlund: I april dödades flera hjälparbetare av drönare som troligen kom från Elbit. Läsare hörde av sig igen: Varför skriver inte DN att det finns ett miljardavtal med Elbit? Jag ifrågasatte varför vi inte skrev. Jag fick svar av en nyhetschef: Israel har enligt folkrätten rätt att försvara sig.
Därför lämnade grävreportern DN: ”Det har varit svårt att göra journalistik om Gaza” - Medierna
Reportrar och chefer är oense om Gazajournalistik. På Dagens Nyheter har det gått så långt att journalister lämnat sina tjänster.
