RFI: "Needs and Challenges in Obtaining and Testing Clinical-Grade RNA-based Cancer Vaccine Formulations to Support Translational and Clinical Research"

In vetebrate embryos, the notochord induces foreplate, which then acts as an organiser to pattern the neural tube

Surprisingly, FP organisers emerge spontaneously in neural tube organoids that have no notochord

HOW ON EARTH do they do this?!

Krammer et al now tell us that
scattered FP cells undergo BMP-mediated “cluster competition’ to generate a stable ‘winning” foreplate.

#Introduction

Hello #BiologyMastodon

I'm a prof of stem cell and developmental biology in Edinburgh. I'm here to hear about your interesting research
#DevBio #StemCells

I rather like our planet, and I'm co-founder and Chair of the Sustainable Conferencing Initiative at the Company of Biologists

I also love music, and if I like your paper I might suggest a theme tune for it

Author 1: I think you should replace reference 45 with an older reference about heat stress in yeast.
Author 2: OK

"Over the past few days, presentations at the American Diabetes Association meeting in San Diego have delivered a slew of findings that suggest the Age of Ozempic is already over. Taking its place: a parade of better treatments for obesity. "

Hey there,

Someone kept bringing up Mastodon so I decided to join. Y'all can just call me Collard Green Dreams, or CGD for short. Here are some relevant things about me:

I'm African-American
I'm Bi and Non-Binary
I'm pretty sure I have ADHD, Autism, or both
I have a ton of interests that vary, such as VNs, books, film, vampires, ATR, history, science, and food.

Nice to meet y'all 🙂

"In this Review, we will discuss how CD8+ T cell developmental trajectories converge with tissue biology, and how factors such as migration to, localization within and the ability to sense different types of microenvironments shape T cell responses."

'Era una mujer sin nombre, de pie sobre una barricada en la Barcelona de 1936, una bandera rojinegra detrás. La imagen se imprimió en carteles y libros, se pintaron murales, y ella se convirtió en un icono de la Guerra Civil. Se desconocía su identidad. Y la del fotógrafo.'

"Using a transcriptomic analysis of over 37,000 nuclei, we identified twelve distinct clusters of cells corresponding to temperature-sensing arista neurons, humidity-sensing sacculus neurons, and support cells relating to these neurons."

'Out of about 34,000 Ph.D. recipients in science/engineering (S/E) fields awarded by US institutions in 2020, 46% (approx. 15,000) held temporary visas, a lower bound estimation of “foreign students”. Among these 15,000 recipients with temporary visas, the largest portion came from China, at 37%, three times the proportion from India, the second largest sending country'

Lately I have been visiting 🐦 more freq than once a week to engage with ramble chats (and #marblefacts) with my colleagues and friends post a great conference. I miss that banter, but that's the *only* thing

#Twitter as I knew it is a long lost memory. As I opened it I got inundated by ads and random posts from accounts I have no clue or care about.

I love my 🦣 home very much, full of interesting posts and people and *so* civilized, I just wish my #glycotime peeps could move over 😊

Is there N6-methyl-2’adenine DNA incorporation derived from decay of #m6A-RNA in cells?

Hailin Wang and colleagues show that mammalian ADAL deaminase sanitizes 2’-#deoxynucleotide pools to prevent AK1-dependent misincorporation

'How has the tech sector got away with exceptionalism for so long? Whenever the harmful effects of a new technology emerge, the loudest clamour opposes regulation, arguing that it would strangle innovation and that the engineering is too complex for legislation.'

Holy crap, the excellent @glycojones has a postdoc job available. If you like biology, coding, sugars, and structures - this looks like a great role where you can _really_ enrich existing Alphafold models of extracellular proteins.

Also, York is pretty dope.

There's a tenure-track research position opening at CBIO in Paris. Come work with us on #machineLearning for #biology and #medicine!

I too wish it was a permanent, civil servant position from the get-go... but the position turns into a permanent contract after two years and a very reasonable review process.

Details: cbio.mines-paristech.fr/pdf-fi

Feel free to reach out informally if you have any question!
