Cool work from Michael Fischbach & collaborators: engineering skin bacteria to express tumoral antigens induces protective T cell responses - including at distal sites (in mice).

“The body, in a very simple way, is the foundation for intelligent and cautious action,” said Joshua Bongard, a roboticist at the University of Vermont. “As far as I can see, this is the only path to safe A.I.”

For Throwback Thursday, an #EMBOPodcast episode with Akiko Iwasaki at the start of Covid year 2 (2021). We talked about the pandemic of course, but a lot more. Including her Immunology course at Yale.
"Ruslan (Medzhitov) and I have worked together to construct a course of introductory #immunology for medical students over the last several years. We wanted to approach immunology from first principles, not throwing some CD numbers and IL-whatever at the students, but really starting form how the system is established, how it works, what detection systems there are, and the arsenal of immune effector functions that are used to fight infection."

A new preprint from Ainsley Lockhart & @mucida has, as the cool kids say, just dropped:
"Dietary protein shapes the profile and repertoire of intestinal CD4+ T cells"

"Legally speaking, the Golden Grape was not a true ‘wreck’. Medieval statutes, still in use in the 17th century, established that if ‘a man, a dog, or a cat escape quick out of the ship’, then it was subject to the usual laws of ownership."

"Wearing hearing aids could help cut the risk of dementia, according to a large decade-long study, which suggests that tackling hearing loss early may help reduce the global burden of the disease."

'The head of a review examining the reasons for a dramatic drop in clinical trials in the UK is urging the government to bring research out of overwhelmed hospitals and into pop-up locations, potentially modelled on those used for Covid-19 vaccinations.'

The meritocracy strikes again:
"Critics say the typical recruitment process at high-profile tech firms often gives an advantage to students at top computing colleges and those with industry connections — just like elite private universities that heavily recruit from top high schools and favor the children of alumni. Wealthier intern candidates may also have more time and opportunity to polish their portfolios and sharpen their test-taking skills."

Can we predict cellular forces just from microscopy ?
We are happy to release a robust method by @SachaIchbiah to create 3D atlases of relative cell mechanics in embryos or tissues from fluorescent images of cell outlines:

Best opening line of a paper I've read in a while:
"The analogy of mitochondria as powerhouses has expired."

Brexanolone is administered as an iv infusion over a 60 hour period (in a hospital setting).
As Pam Belluck of the NYT had noted in 2019, making an orally available form was the clear next step.
"A pill made with a similar molecule, which would be much more accessible and easier for patients, is showing promise in its clinical trials and would be submitted for approval in a couple of years if the results are good, according to Sage."
