'So, in 1976, two colleagues and I organised the first meeting on DNA insertions. During this meeting, it became clear that geneticists working on bacteria, yeast, fruit flies, plants and animals were all studying the same phenomenon McClintock had discovered in her maize plants 30 years earlier.'

'Mas mais impressionante era o respeito e consideração com que ele tratava todas as nossas perguntas, mesmo as mais ingénuas, incluindo quando confessava nunca ter pensado no assunto e nos prometia uma resposta para a semana seguinte.

As palavras de Mattoso transmitiam conhecimento. A sua atitude, sabedoria.'

Malaria on a chip.

'A functional, multi-organ, serum-free system was developed for the culture of P. falciparum in an attempt to establish innovative platforms for therapeutic drug development. It contains 4 human organ constructs including hepatocytes, splenocytes, endothelial cells, as well as recirculating red blood cells which allow for infection with the parasite. '

1/ Our team at HDT bio just posted a new paper to Molecular Therapy (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1525001623003738). Led by Senior Scientist Taishi Kimura, we investigated the distinct host responses to repRNA delivered by two different formulations: LION and LNP. LION, a cationic nanocarrier, binds RNA at the nanoparticle surface, whereas LNP encapsulates RNA. These different presentations create distinct surface properties and host responses.

Ukemochi is the Japanese Shinto goddess of food who was able to produce foods from her body. Unfortunately on one occasion when she was doing this, she offended the moon god Tsukuyomi. As a result he killed her which lead to the sun goddess Amateurasu banishing him to the far end of the sky.
