"Our analysis reveals an ancestral gene regulatory feedback loop connecting Brachyury, FoxA and canonical Wnt signalling involved in axial patterning that predates the cnidarian–bilaterian split about 700 million years ago. Surprisingly, we also found that part of the gene regulatory network controlling the fate of neuromesodermal progenitors in vertebrates was already present in the common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians."

Time for #introduction.
My name is Emmanuel « Manu » Margeat.
I develop and use single molecule fluorescence , including #smFRET, #FCS, and #SPT.
My research focuses on elucidating the structural dynamics and the interactions of #membrane #proteins, in vitro and in living cells.
I am strongly involved in research management, serving as deputy director of the #CBS, the Centre de Biologie Structurale in Montpellier , or as Council member for the french and the american Biophysical Society #BPS.
"In the U.S.’s efforts to 'move on' from thinking about #Covid, it has created a 'new normal' that is deeply abnormal — one in which we normalize resorting to crisis measures, such as treating patients in tents, instead of using common-sense public health strategies. Treating Covid like the flu — or the #flu like Covid — has effectively meant that we treat neither illness as if it were a serious threat to health systems and to public health."

'Yet today’s physicists rarely debate what time is and why we experience it the way we do, remembering the past but never the future. Instead, researchers build ever-more accurate clocks. The current record-holder, at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics in Colorado, measures the vibration of strontium atoms; it is accurate to 1 second in 15 billion years, roughly the entire age of the known universe. Impressive, but it does not answer ‘What is time?’'

"A Swedish court has found an Italian surgeon, once hailed for pioneering windpipe surgery, guilty of causing bodily harm to a patient, but cleared him of assault charges."
Neuro-evo conference at HHMI Janelia on May 15-18, 2023. Join us for the third edition!
Application deadline: Jan 27 (11:59 p.m. EST) 2023.
"Historically, with the study of the most convenient animal models —from the giant axon of the squid and the lobster's stomatogastric circuits to Aplysia's synapses and C. elegans' circuits — neuroscientists revealed some of the operating principles of the nervous system, which were then found to apply broadly across phyla. The third instalment of this meeting will once again bring together neuroscientists working on a broad diversity of animal models in an effort to compare circuits across phyla as a means to crack their function."

Hello fellow #Mastodonians! #introduction
I am a nurse practitioner and clinical scientist at #MIT. I am also #disabled, a mama of an awesome kid, and a wife to a wonderful man who is also collegiate track coach.
My work focuses on researching sexual dimorphism and sex differences in immune response and disease presentation, specifically in relation to chronic illness, #Lyme disease, & #LongCOVID.
Happy to be here and continue to advocate and #DemandBetter while my body still allows me to!
#introduction:
I'm here following my #ScienceTwitter crew on this #TwitterMigration. Hoping we can all reconnect. I run a group at MIT diving deep into the immunological underpinnings of some of the most misunderstood and neglected chronic diseases in modern medicine. I specialize in chronic #Lyme and I'm also trying to understand why that looks so much like long COVID. I'm obsessed with mucosal immunology, sex differences in immune responses to infectious disease, and the health of this planet.

"This weary skepticism for the scientific endeavor rings through many of Vonnegut’s 14 novels and dozens of short stories. For what would have been the famed author’s 100th birthday, Science talked to literary scholars, philosophers of science, and political theorists about the messages Vonnegut left for the scientific community—and why he’s more relevant than ever."

"Activity tracing by plasma proteomic profiling uncovered an association between low NET clearance and increased COVID-19 pathology and mortality. Low NET clearance activity with comparable proteome associations was prevalent in healthy donors with low-grade inflammation, implicating defective chromatin clearance in the development of cardiovascular disease and linking COVID-19 susceptibility to pre-existing conditions"

What determines our organs' architecture? How can we measure, predict, and manipulate it? Scientists around Keisuke Ishihara @IshiharaKsk from the lab of Elly Tanaka (@tanaxolotl) have tackled the question using neuroepithelial #organoids. (1/4)

"In the monkeypox outbreak that unspooled this summer in the United States and dozens of other countries, men who have sex with men were the most at risk. But thousands of women were also infected, and many more cases were probably missed, according to the first ever study of women and nonbinary people who had contracted the disease."
This week is World #AntimicrobialResistance Awareness Week, so we invite you to check out our interview with Dr Jyoti Joshi from the International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions. She told us about her work in #AMR control and how she actively engages with communities & high-level policymaking in several Asian countries, and globally, to drive significant progress in public health. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Jyoti & hope you enjoy the read!
