Its wonderful to see the MIR184 story out now! I am grateful to have been a part of it all.
A landmark study in gimjournal.bsky.social identifies a novel genetic cause of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, offering new avenues for future therapies. FECD gradually damages the cornea, leading to vision loss.

Day 1 at ESCRS congress in Copenhagen. Even as a research scientist, I’m thoroughly enjoying Cornea Day!
The coffee break pastries have also been absolutely outstanding

The “resurrected” dire wolves are corporate horseshit approaching Theranos levels of snake oil
Good summary below:

The resurrection circus keeps clowning, but make no mistake, Dire wolves remain very extinct.
An angry, sweary piece by a frustrated geneticist.

Despite what you are being fed, de-extinction is a con, full of gloss, bullshit and ghoulish greed.

A large-scale study in JAMA Ophthalmology by Alice Davidson's lab uncovers demographic and sex factors behind genetic cause of age-related visual loss. Paving the way for more personalised treatments for FECD, moving beyond cornea transplants to gene therapies.

De novo and inherited dominant variants in U4 and U6 snRNAs cause retinitis pigmentosa
The U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) forms a duplex with the U6 snRNA and, together with U5 and ∼30 proteins, is part of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex, located at the core of the major spliceosome. Recen...

I foolishly signed up for a race with some of my lab colleagues in January. So now I’m obligated to put in a good show. Trying out the Runna app this time. I have to say though, a happy playlist and a gorgeous sunrise really does make it easier.
