“I had finally acknowledged that I needed mental health support, only to realize that, due to my inattention, I had no access to healthcare at all.”
A postdoc recounts the many steps it took to come to terms with their childhood #ADHD diagnosis and find their way out of depression. #SparksOfChange https://elifesciences.org/articles/96286?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic_features 10/n
'Until last year, Madagascar had a vibrant art scene but no public museum of modern art or art school. Then, in April – after two years of restoration – a former post office in the capital, Antananarivo, opened its doors as Fondation H’s new gallery.'
'Latest figures from the WHO’s cancer arm, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, makes plain the growing burden of cancer, rising from 14.1 million new cases and 8.2 million deaths worldwide in 2012 to 20 million new cases and 9.7 million deaths a decade later.'

"Despite the aforementioned advancements, our understanding of the protein structures of de novo genes remains very limited. It is still unclear whether de novo genes are capable of being well-folded, how frequently they are well-folded, and if they possess novel structural folds."

Design for a flying machine with wings based closely upon the structure of a bat's wings. By Leonardo da Vinci
"An object offers as much resistance to the air as the air does to the object. You may see that the beating of its wings against the air supports a heavy eagle in the highest and rarest atmosphere, close to the sphere of elemental fire..."

GABAARs: not just inhibitory? This study of striatal spiny projection #neurons shows that #GABA is a state-dependent #neurotransmitter, and not simply an inhibitory one, suggesting a revision of the role of intrastriatal #GABAergic signaling #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3SGKafq

“It’s sort of the ultimate attack on government,” says Betsy Southerland, a former environmental scientist at the US Environmental Protection Agency. She says many of the former Trump administration’s proposals that put politics ahead of science were blocked by the objections of professional civil servants. If Schedule F gets the greenlight, Southerland adds, “you would have nobody to report scientific-integrity violations, because anybody who objected would be fired”.

This is big news:
"Word came this morning that Biogen is dropping their anti-amyloid antibody (Aduhelm, aducanumab), so it's time to take stock. I was never happy about the FDA's decision to approve it, and that's putting it lightly."
"Look, cancer immune-metabolism is really simple, let me walk you through it."
'Scientists are among those most trusted by the survey’s respondents to tell the truth about innovations and new technologies, with 74% of respondents saying they trust scientists to tell the truth. A similar proportion said that they wanted the introduction of innovations to be led by scientists. By comparison, just 47% of respondents said that they trusted journalists and 45% trusted government leaders to tell the truth on innovations.'

'Em Portugal, nem por isso
Os dados de outro trabalho publicado no início de 2023, o Registo Europeu de Desigualdades em Cancro, indicam que em Portugal a mortalidade por cancro estagnou na última década (entre 2011 e 2019), mas isso faz com que estejamos entre os países que menos reduziram as mortes por cancro entre os 27 Estados-membros da União Europeia.'

'Miller’s attention turned toward investigating how best to mimic the apoptotic cells, overriding the expression of dendritic cells. He partnered with polymer chemist Lonnie D. Shea, PhD, who was at the McCormick School of Engineering, to develop a nanoparticle that interacts effectively with dendritic cells.'
