"Overall, these data demonstrate that IL-15C treatment, via its induction of IL-10 from NK cells, modulates the dysregulated inflammation during Plasmodium infection to promote Tfh differentiation & Ab generation, correlating with improved survival from reinfection."

For the first time, astronomers have direct evidence of planets that survived the death of their star.
These remarkable JWST images appear to show Jupiter-like planets still clinging to burned-out white dwarf stars. Our solar system might look a lot like this in 8 billion years.

"Fanon wrote at the height of the Cold War, but, with no less prescience, he regarded the East-West struggle as a passing sideshow, of far less consequence than the divisions between North and South, of the rich world and the poor world. If the colonial world was, in his words, “a world cut in two,” our postcolonial world seems scarcely less so. Just consider the starkly different responses to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza — or South Africa’s case against Israel, on the charge of genocide — in the global north and the global south."

"For these reasons, we hypothesize that PTMs could have been selected throughout evolution at the flanks of aggregation-prone regions as an intrinsic factor to protect proteins against aggregation, thus expanding the current repertoire of aggregation gatekeepers."

"When an immune cell encounters an Xist molecule, it also finds a huge number of proteins stuck to it. This unusual experience may confuse immune cells, which then mistakenly start making antibodies to the Xist proteins."

🌍 Calling all #scientists #professors #PIs #teamleaders #PhDs #phD passionate about shaping the future of research! I am looking forward to form a scientific collective to initiate a more transparent way to do research, as we can work together to break barriers, share knowledge, and empower global scientific progress. 🧪🔬🚀
We will use a new platform #bonfire to lead this change!
Let's innovate 🌱🔍🤝 #ResearchForAll #openscience #opensource
"We generated mice for the B cell–conditional expression of the most frequent BTG1 mutation [Gln36→His (Q36H)]. Btg1Q36H cells almost completely outcompeted their wild-type counterparts, specifically in the GC. This competitive fitness manifested as a stronger induction of MYC-dependent growth programs."

"Driverless cars are often called autonomous vehicles – but driving isn’t an autonomous activity. It’s a co-operative social activity, in which part of the job of whoever’s behind the wheel is to communicate with others on the road."
