Please suggest a cool paper/preprint in your field in the last year or so!
For a course I teach, I am collecting papers on: cell/dev bio, microbio, neuro, maths/stats/CS/chem/phys applied to biology.
Students use one paper as the basis for a "research grant application" that they will write. So papers that are cool but also open doors to future study are ideal! Do you know one? It can be your own, I don't mind!
Last year's selection https://quantixed.org/2022/01/12/papers-for-md9a8-2022-edition/
@clathrin This is a very cool recent story from Luis Barreiro's lab, evolutionary footprints of the plague in the human genome - it starts out with cadavers in plague pits and ends up with some hits that definitely could be used in a "write a project that continues from this paper" exercise

Immunotherapy can induce myocarditis but the mechanism has been poorly understood. A new report @nature@twitter.com today supports the culprit auto-antigen role of α-myosin and cytotoxic T-cells directed to it https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05432-3 by @MargaretAxelrod@twitter.com @BalkoLab@twitter.com

Epigenetics ROCKS!
Who would have guessed chromatin accessibility (ie nucleosome-free regions) contributes substantially to alternative splicing in specific cells 😎🆒

"But Earth’s rotation slows ever so slightly from year to year, and the astronomical second (like the astronomical day) has gradually grown longer than the atomic one. To compensate, starting in 1972, metrologists began occasionally inserting an extra second — a leap second — to the end of an atomic day. In effect, whenever atomic time is a full second ahead, it stops for a second to allow Earth to catch up. Ten leap seconds were added to the atomic time scale in 1972, and 27 more have been added since."

#introduction toot!! I am a neuroscientist at Instituto Cajal in Madrid, Spain. My lab studies how the 🧠hippocampus generates activity patterns (theta, gamma and ripple oscillations) in service for memory function. We target cell-type specific microcircuits and basic neurophysiological mechs in health & disease (e.g., epilepsy). We use #ephys #neuropixels #miniscopes #uLEDs #optogenetics #computationalneuroscience #machinelearning and love developing new #openscience tools & #neurotechnologies

Uganda & @WHO will trial 3 experimental #Ebola Sudan vaccines in Uganda, the agency announced today. Interestingly, critical Phase 1 safety data will be generated in Uganda for one of the vaccines. https://www.statnews.com/2022/11/16/who-uganda-plan-to-test-three-candidate-ebola-vaccines-in-outbreak/

@cyrilpedia @matthewcobb Powerful words by @deborahblum, echoing strong insight from @matthewcobb:
"The rush to gene-editing brings Cobb to a kind of crisis of conscience. He is a scientist with deep respect for the profession; he’s worked with genetically modified organisms and knows they can be used for good. And yet, he cannot take that last step across the threshold of complete trust in a profession that he believes, especially recently, has failed “to speak clearly or act decisively” about its dangers. He dreams of a societal response — a world in which the public is better educated on the issues, in which scientists engage with the larger community, and informed regulation is possible. But in the interests of reality, he concedes something that, in fact, many of us outside the scientific community have also come to recognize: In the complicated reality that technology has built for us, far too often “dreams and nightmares must go hand in hand.”"

"In mice, the loss of Sharpin leads to severe dermatitis due to excessive cell death in keratinocytes. Here we report the first patient with SHARPIN deficiency, manifesting fever, arthritis, colitis, chronic otitis media and hepatic glycogenosis but unexpectedly, not associated with dermatologic manifestations."

We are paying $3400 for infant daycare at Harvard. In 2017 as a first year postdoc, this is higher than my post tax salary. It does not make sense financially to work as a postdoc and to raise a kid. You wonder why some women quit science at this point?? https://twitter.com/sa_redmond/status/1592253642655993856
"The need remains for the funding and development of predesigned, adaptive trial protocols for diseases with epidemic or pandemic potential that can be timely pulled off the shelf and launched early in an outbreak, leveraging ready clinical trial networks and infrastructure for rapid discovery and implementation of new treatments."
