"The importance of conformational ensembles to IDR function, coupled to the inherent sensitivity of IDRs to their physicochemical environment, gives rise to the possibility of IDRs acting as molecular sensors of their surrounding physicochemical environment"

New paper out, & it's SO COOL!! 🤩 How different #metastasis affects 🧠 #LFP? We saw that each type have spectific signatures, so that they can be even classifed from the recordings! 😱 Thanks Alberto, Mariam, @LMPrida & Manuel Valiente for all 😊 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1535610823002507
'Many patient-advocacy groups are lushly funded: last year, the Alzheimer’s Association’s revenue was about half a billion dollars. A study in The New England Journal of Medicine found that at least eighty-three per cent of the largest groups receive money from pharmaceutical companies. “H.I.V. activism was a true grassroots movement, not one funded by drug companies,” Daniel Carpenter, the author of “Reputation and Power,” a colossal history of the F.D.A., told me. “I don’t want to say everything since then has been astroturfed. But companies do learn the lesson of ‘Oh, that’s how you get a drug through the F.D.A.’'

⚡️Putin's Flight Plight: @RyanAir Exception.
Ruschia / Belarus established the precedent of forcing an aeroplane in its skies to land. Then apprehending two of the passengers and subjecting them to untold tortures.
Putin can't and never will again fly over ANY ICC signatory. https://mastodon.world/@decodingtrolls/109963988896396379

In case you don’t believe the same equations govern #motion in the #atmosphere and the #ocean.
Video by Tristan Heth in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
'The universal and enthusiastic welcome to Thursday’s news that Britain was to rejoin the £81bn EU Horizon programme for scientific collaboration, albeit as an associate member, was a surprise – not least to the prime minister, who had dragged his feet for months in fear of the reaction of his Europhobic right.'

"Most recent studies support the hypothesis that T cells worsen disease, but new research from Su et al.4 reported in this issue of Nature Immunology instead describes brain-infiltrating CD8+ T cells as protectors, not perpetrators, of #Alzheimer’s disease pathology."

@Kaetchi The initial hypothesis was that the thymus was exerting an endocrine function on gonad development:
"In view of our results, it seems plausible to propose that the thymus has the newly described function of controlling the reproductive faculty in the female mouse."

'Aquellos chistes sobre crímenes orca-nizados no les hicieron mucha gracia a los investigadores de estos animales. Les preocupaba que la propagación de esas ideas de ataques y venganza, sin base científica, fomentase represalias contra las orcas ibéricas, una población de menos de 40 ejemplares que se encuentra en peligro crítico de extinción.'
'His cabinet—the first to include a peasant and an industrial worker as ministers—had undertaken a series of reforms, the most impressive of which was the nationalization of the enormous copper mines, until then owned by predatory US corporations'

PLANTBASED UNIVERSITIES
This Monday we released an open letter signed by over 850 academics, public figures, doctors, politicians, and more! It calls on universities to transition to 100% just and sustainable plant-based catering - for animals, the climate, and us.
Since The Guardian released the story on Monday, we've seen incredible support for our campaign.

"My cohort was the most diverse in the history of my program, yet many faculty members weren’t used to being around people from various backgrounds. I received many comments questioning my place in the program, my future in science given that no one in my family has a PhD, and my legal status in the country."

"Although marketed CAR-T therapies have shown transformative efficacy for certain blood cancers, widespread adoption, as well as applicability to solid tumours and autoimmune indications, have been limited by safety, efficacy and operational hurdles. These hurdles include high rates of adverse events such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), inability to overcome the immunosuppressive microenvironment typically found in solid tumours, and antigen escape and cell exhaustion that reduce durability."

'The greatest threat to our democracy comes not from demagogues like Mr. Trump or even from extremist followers like those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 but rather from the ordinary politicians, many of them inside the Capitol that day, who protect and enable him.'
