Paul Gleeson and colleagues from the University of Melbourne and Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn use blood outgrowth endothelial cells to map out the intracellular trafficking route of human serum albumin.

“..CNS symptoms occur between 0 days and 4 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection.” Most common CNS symptoms: Memory deficits, unresponsiveness, mental and behavioural disorders. “Seven of 12 cases can be categorized as probable SARS-CoV-2 encephalitis, and 5 cases can be described as brainstem encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis or tremor probably associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00415-023-11912-x

'Una nueva investigación, llevada a cabo por expertos del Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center de Nueva York y de la Universidad de Zurich ha encontrado un obstáculo añadido a esta difícil ecuación: “el sobreprecio” o “la prima” del cáncer (”the cancer premium”, en inglés).“'

“The algorithm-based approaches that people are taking are suboptimal,” says Drew Hannaman, head of R&D at Ichor Medical Systems, which obtained an empirical neoantigen selection platform after Genocea’s bankruptcy last year. “[Algorithm-based approaches] are pretty good at identifying a property that is necessary to generate immune response. But they are not comprehensive enough to identify the properties that are necessary and sufficient.” The result, Hannaman says, is “a lot of false positives”.

#Introduction

Hi, I'm a #SystemsNeuroscientist at #KISNeuro in #Trondheim #Norway. Just moving over from another server.

I'm here to learn about exciting new science, explore topics loosely related to my own work, and connect with new people. I particularly like the "big" conversations about (neuro)science here that don't occur often enough in the lab.

'Predatory publishers step into this void and accustom uninformed researchers to scientific publishing that is fast and obstacle-free. Once hooked, some authors keep going back to these predatory journals, confusing speed with quality. “OMICS is open access, relatively straightforward and timely. Much less of a hassle and less arrogant than old-school society journals,” one survey respondent wrote.'

'Mark Carrigan, a digital sociologist at the Manchester Institute for Education, UK, argues that the idea that Twitter helped democratize academia “was a bit simplistic” because social media created a space where academic celebrities thrived.'
