'These publicly accessible databases aim to provide an overview of all animal studies (including those that are ongoing and work that may remain unpublished) to increase transparency and reduce unnecessary duplication of experiments. Unfortunately, usage to date has been low, with only a few hundred entries across each registry [7]. As a potential solution, we propose integrating preclinical registration within the animal use protocol (AUP) review process'

“His behaviour on the platform — he sets the tone from the top — he’s saying it’s OK to spread conspiracy theories as he does it himself,” said Kayla Gogarty, research director at left-leaning non-profit Media Matters. “This is the first big test for Musk’s version of X. The platform has failed this test.”

"For more than a decade, Twitter was an absolutely key resource for understanding major world events and disasters in real time. Open-source reporters and investigators pieced together the picture on the ground from primary sources and verified content. I’m calling it Twitter in this instance, because that was then. X is something different, although I’m sure we’re all on tenterhooks for its vaunted transformation into the everything app/surveillance capitalism dreamscape humanity deserves."

Contagious cancer in bivalves

"BTN is a fatal leukemia-like cancer characterized by high numbers of cancer cells in the circulatory fluid of the bivalve and dissemination into tissues in the later stages of disease. BTN cells can survive for days to weeks in seawater17,18 and likely spread from animal to animal by transmission through the water column."

'The country has managed to build itself the longest high-speed rail network in Europe and the second longest in the world, now spanning approximately 2,500 miles (4,000km) (and still expanding). By way of comparison, France has built 1,740 miles (2,800km), and Britain – still coming to terms with its latest high-speed fiasco – 68 (110km).'

Brussels has given Elon #Musk until midnight to get a grip on the gruesome #Hamas attack imagery flooding X — or face the full force of #Europe's new social media rules.

The EU has warned Mark Zuckerberg over the spread of "disinformation" on Meta's social media platforms after Hamas' attack on Israel.

It told Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, it "has 24 hours" to take action and comply with European law. Meta must prove it has taken "timely, diligent and objective action".

Social media firms have seen a surge in misinformation about the conflict, including doctored images and mislabelled videos.

"Using evidence in skeletons of people who died in the 1918 outbreak, researchers reported that people who suffered from chronic diseases or nutritional deficiencies were more than twice as likely to die as those who did not have such conditions, no matter their age."

"Aortic aneurysms occur six times more often in men than women. But if a woman does have one, it’s more likely to burst, she’s less likely to get effective treatment and more likely to die. These outcomes are a tangle of sex (influenced by chromosomes, physiology and hormones) and gender (how we identify, behave in our environment and interact with one another). Why is our society calibrated for men so that women receive substandard medical care? And why are researchers not studying half the world’s population who are excellent at not getting aneurysms?"

"Unexpectedly, approximately 15% of the steady state population of hTR has a CR4/5 conformation lacking features required for hTERT binding. Mutagenesis demonstrates that stabilization of the alternative CR4/5 conformation is detrimental to telomerase assembly and activity. We propose that this misfolded portion of the cellular hTR pool is either slowly refolded or degraded."
