'Her own work with GLP-1 started when she predicted that a particular version of the hormone should exist in mammalian gut tissue. Mojsov then experimentally confirmed that prediction (S. Mojsov et al. J. Biol. Chem. 261, 11880–11889; 1986). She next showed that this biologically active form of GLP-1 could trigger insulin release from the pancreas of a rat (S. Mojsov et al. J. Clin. Invest. 79, 616–619; 1987).'

Just want to ping "@clathrin" @steveroyle because we have a new preprint with Stéphane Vassilopoulos on clathrin in axons! Check it out if you want to hear about how static clathrin-coated pits form within specific structures of the periodic actin-spectrin scaffold and can be triggered for endocytosis: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.19.572337v1

'Flies were placed in a flight simulator, which permitted free body rotation about the yaw axis. By feeding back body movements in real time to a visual display, we augmented and inverted visual feedback.'

"Thus we find ourselves, with growing discomfort, in the company of motley bands of Portuguese fidalgos (gentry), mariners, soldiers, and ex-convicts, as they suffer the pangs of hunger, face shipwreck, board the vessels of Asian merchants, storm barricades, sack palaces, and put women and children to the sword. The more one reads, the more horrific the story becomes. The history of the Portuguese intrusion into the Indian Ocean is an epic of ruthless savagery."

“Portugal deveria equacionar a reinstituição deste imposto, desta vez sobre as grandes heranças (a partir de um milhão de euros, líquidos de dívidas) e aplicando-se uma taxa por decidir, mas que deverá situar-se um pouco acima dos 28%”

"El 10 del mayo de 1972 el músico portugués Zeca Afonso actuó en la residencia universitaria Burgo das Nacións, en Santiago de Compostela. Fue un evento organizado por el pujante movimiento estudiantil gallego, que con el acto quería denunciar la dictadura franquista y contagiarse de los sonidos de liberación del país vecino, donde el final del régimen autoritario también estaba próximo. Según distintas fuentes, José Zeca Afonso (Aveiro, 1929-Setúbal, 1987) interpretó ese día por primera vez el que después se convertiría en himno de la Revolução dos Cravos (la Revolución de los Claveles), la mítica canción Grândola, Vila Morena."

Good news on #leishmaniasis:
"Among the so-called “neglected tropical diseases,” many experts believe leishmaniasis is in a class of its own in terms of the lack of progress, in the 120 years since it was first identified, to help the two million people who contract it each year.
Now, finally, that is starting to change: When Mr. Tilano’s grandson Andrés Tilano, 14, contracted leishmaniasis last year, he was treated in a clinic in Medellín, with an experimental therapy that cured his infection in days."

Do images tell the truth?
In #science #objectivity and truth in #images are key. Today, #AI in #microscopy is causing some debates: does it depict reality or hallucinates?
Believe it or not, these discussions are not new, but ongoing since scientists started to use drawings for #SciComm

'Tinto ran an influential early study of the vaccine, starting in 2019 (M. S. Datoo et al. Lancet397, 1809–1818; 2021). “He led the trial that really, to people in the field, showed that this vaccine was going to be different,” says Adrian Hill, a vaccinologist at the University of Oxford, UK, who oversaw the development of R21.'

'But Bloch’s experience was different because, in addition to sustenance and care, his helpers brought him pens, glue, newspapers and other printed materials that he used to produce a startling publication: his own weekly, satirical poetry magazine.'
