"Most intuitive ligands for these receptors, such as LPS, only exist in bacterial outer membranes and are recognized, in this case, by TLR4 on the APC surface. Other ligands, such as dsRNA produced by viral replication, are sensed by a magnitude of intracellular and endosomal receptors (3, 4). Less intuitive are structures such as ssRNA or dsDNA, which are abundant in virtually all cell types, and hence do not appear to be ideal pathogen-associated molecular patterns because they are not exclusively pathogen associated. However, in this case, the immune system harnesses another fundamental aspect of cellular biology, namely subcellular location."

Salman Rushdie, discussing why he has never written an apolitical book:
"Sometimes your character is not your destiny. Sometimes a plane flying into a building is your destiny. The larger world gets into the story not because I want to write about politics, but because I want to write about people."

"Mouse studies are sometimes neglected by human immunologists, on the basis that mice are not humans and the infections studied are experimental[...]. Conversely, human studies are sometimes neglected by mouse immunologists, on the basis of the uncontrolled conditions of study.."

My four-year-old son has become obsessed with me telling him DUNE stories for bedtime, which usually involves me summarizing the less violent parts of the novel for him. Tonight, I improvised.

'Public services in Brazil face a “very real threat of collapse” as a result of the mismanagement by the outgoing far-right government, and the incoming administration will have a “herculean task” in rebuilding damaged institutions, particularly in the fields of health, education and the environment, the country’s president-elect has said.'

#Drosophila #Advent Day23: Another fungus feeder in the #Steganinae with Leucophenga hungarica! This strikingly bright yellow drosophilid has a mysterious history: It was first recorded in the UK in only 2016 https://dipterists.org.uk/sites/default/files/pdf/Dipterists%20Digest%202011%20Vol%2018%20No%201.pdf , but was initially described only in 2000 – having been collected in central Europe very infrequently since 1974 http://www.drosophila.jp/jdd/class/070401/07040123.pdf . Where was this big yellow fly until then, and why is it spreading now? #Diptera #Fungus #Entomology

What if we could study #cancer progression and #metastasis in vivo, in real time, and at single-cell resolution?
David Entenberg, Maja Oktay, and John Condeelis at Albert Einstein College of Medicine summarize the current state of the art of #intravital #imaging, present some of the challenges that remain in the field, how to address them, and future perspectives.

'Beijing’s healthcare system was long thought to be among the best prepared in the country to deal with a surge of Covid infections. But the central government’s decision this month to abruptly abandon its draconian zero-Covid policy, which had held off the disease for nearly three years through mass testing and quarantines, has sparked one of the country’s biggest coronavirus outbreaks.'

For #ThrowbackThursday, an episode of the #EMBOPodcast that aired this summer:
Orian Shirihai tells the story of a classic @embojournal paper on the mitochondrial life cycle.
The episode, "Fuse or Die" highlights the importance of my personal nemesis, the well-organised lab notebook.

'On a hot summer day in 1961, a young TV writer and aspiring comedian named Dick Cavett attended the funeral of George S. Kaufman, the renowned wit and man of letters. There he saw one of his heroes, Groucho Marx. Cavett approached Marx, and managed to tell him that he was a big fan.
Without missing a beat, Marx responded: “Well, if it gets any hotter, I could use a big fan.”
Good morning, proboscideans
