Nice study showing Candida albicans lipase suppressing host IL-17 responses & promotes invasive infection.
Caveats re model systems used, etc.. but interesting demonstration of pathogen evasion of protective host immune responses.

Trying to follow the rule of listening for at least a week before posting...so here's an #introduction
I grew up in East TN as a National Lab kid. Studied philosophy and language in college, briefly a short order cook in New Orleans. I fell into the open web after answering a Boston Globe classified ad in 1998 and am really interested in how data, science, governance, and computers intersect.
As an old man, my interests include knee pain, kid swim meets, and wondering where the remote is.
@Dr_ImmunoMan_D #EMBO just posted this episode this morning & I've already received so many emails from people saying that he was their teacher - it's wonderful to see that kind of impact.
As a bonus - what a great voice for radio!
"Before 2020, respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV) and non-pandemic #influenza viruses peaked in the winter in northern and southern hemispheres outside of tropical areas. In temperate climates, non-polio enteroviruses circulated in the summer to autumn in cyclical patterns. The #COVID19 pandemic has led to a departure from these patterns and, in many locations, usual circulation of these viruses was absent for more than a year only to resurge in unexpected ways."

@madamscientist Thanks for the comment, I think that's a great hashtag (note to self, need to start following hashtags on this site).
"The rate at which human sperm counts are decreasing has more than doubled since the turn of the century, and the mean level has dropped below a threshold that makes conception significantly more difficult.
These findings are part of a new peer-reviewed study published today in the Human Reproduction Update journal that includes data from 53 countries and is the first meta-analysis to check levels in Central America, South America and Asia."

@skanman If you're interested in the general framework, Dr King has a great talk on youtube
@skanman Hi @skanman, first thing I wanted to say is, this is not my science, it's a quote from work done in Nicole King's lab (the link in the toot). There are definitely predatory cells, and even interesting models that predation at the cellular level might have led to "stripping of parts" and more complex cells. An important part of the story is that cilia have multiple functions, not just sensory (as an "antenna") but also in motility, cell division etc The key thing about evolutionary cell biology is that the transcriptional network, meaning the network of different genes that interact in the development (and functioning) of a structure like cilia is stable or changes slowly - to put it another way, when evolution repurposes something, it keeps the "manufacturing" process largely intact.

"Although the importance of cTECs in T cell development is well defined, mechanisms that shape the cTEC compartment and regulate its functional specialization are unclear. Using a Cxcl12DsRed reporter mouse model, we show that changes in Cxcl12 expression reveal a developmentally regulated program of cTEC heterogeneity."

Forgot to do an #introduction in my excitement to be here.
Right now I have a few work hats: as a Senior Advisor to the Director of NHGRI, I lead projects needed by the institute, and this year that's establishing #evaluation of our grants and programs.
As an Associate Investigator, I lead the Engagement Methods Unit (EMU), my small lab focused on #genetic literacy (paper out soon!), #autism #genetics and #genomics, highlighting #ableism, and measuring effectiveness of #scicomm.
