'E quando as vemos lá vai o pessoal ver os corpos lindos delas a dançar. Isso é o exótico. Mas o batuque é resistência, vem de uma história de resistência de escravidão. Essa relação nunca é feita. Aquilo não é tipo resiliência nem boa vibe; aquilo é uma história. Uma história de resistência e está aqui na cidade de Lisboa e é importante percebê-la.'
'In total, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 2.2 billion people have impaired vision and, for at least 1 billion of these, it could be prevented or treated. In Northern Cape, South Africa’s largest province, only one public hospital offers the routine operation.'

'To fill this gap, we present here bioinformatics analysis of 1702 proteins, selected from different aging-related databases, studies, and networks to evaluate the prevalence of intrinsic disorder in these proteins associated with aging.'

'For some researchers, the fragmented scientific outcomes of the HBP stem from a lack of focus. “A project that lasts over ten years, I would expect it to produce a conceptual breakthrough,” says Fred Wolf, a theoretical neurophysicist at the University of Göttingen, Germany, who left the HBP after signing the open letter. But that wasn’t the case for the HBP, he says.'

“America is entering its most important, pivotal year since 1860, and the U.S. media is doing a terrible job explaining what is actually happening.…
What we call the Republican Party is barely a political party in any sense of the word but a dangerous antisocial movement that has embraced many of the tenets of fascism, from calls for violence to its dehumanizing of ‘others.’”

White supremacy, racially motivated hate crimes, and the murders of racial, religious and sexual minorities don’t happen in a vacuum. They are encouraged, given life, and ultimately driven by leaders who knowingly deploy the terror to advance and increase their own power.

Wrote something for the Guardian about cancer screening today - for those with (undiagnosed) cancer it can save their life. But if vast majority of people screened *don't* have cancer, then it can also strain NHS resources and lead to some people being diagnosed (and worse, treated for) a cancer they do not have.
Increases in screening must come with transparent information & plan for how NHS will deliver it.

New chapter in our ongoing RNA Review Series:
Javier Caceres and colleagues discuss #mRNA quality control mechanisms including non-stop and no-go mRNA decay pathways and the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway
Translation-coupled mRNA quality control mechanisms

'While Aβ is clearly the initiating factor in the context of mutations in the genes encoding APP and, likely, presenilin 1 and presenilin 2, I propose that accumulation of pathogenic forms of tau is not a consequence of Aβ in all cases of sporadic AD'

'From 2016 to 2017, the largest single-year drop in overall cancer mortality so far — 2.2% — was reported, spurred by rapid declines in lung cancer mortality that have been partially attributed to the approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and other new targeted therapies'
