Kafka's parables at the London Review of Books:
"Leopards break into the temple and drink the sacrificial vessels dry; this is repeated over and over; eventually it can be calculated in advance and becomes part of the ceremony.
They were offered the choice between becoming kings or the couriers of kings. In the manner of children, they all wanted to be couriers. And so there are only couriers. They rush through the world and, as there are no kings, they shout their now meaningless messages to one another. They would gladly put an end to their wretched lives, but don’t dare to because of their oaths of service."

"Here, we establish microglia as a new cellular component of the sleep homeostasis circuit. Using quantitative phosphoproteomics of the mouse frontal cortex, we demonstrate that microglia-specific deletion of TNFα perturbs thousands of phosphorylation sites during the sleep period. Substrates of microglial TNFα comprise sleep-related kinases such as MAPKs and MARKs, and numerous synaptic proteins, including a subset whose phosphorylation status encodes sleep need and determines sleep duration."
Hi #ScienceMastodon. We, at #J_Cell_Sci, are a #community journal covering all areas of #cellbiology. We also host the microscopy community site @focalplane_jcs. Journal of Cell Science is led by Editor-in-Chief Michael Way & published by the not-for-profit @Co_Biologists.
We will toot about our content, including #research papers, #reviews, #interviews, charitable activities, and news from @focalplane_jcs.

The remarkable antimicrobial specificity disappears with aging in fruit flies. Read this interesting story.
Happy to share that our paper is online now...https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2022.1642. Lots of hard work from all the authors Arun Prakash, Saubhik Sarkar, @pfvale@twitter.com, @evoimmunoimroze@twitter.com.

If the answer is "no" then we can all chill out a bit:
"Is novel research worth doing?"
Teplitskiy et al
Impressive work highlighting the importance and the beauty of anti-carbohydrates antibodies.

This is big.
In tonight's upcoming episode of #ComplementDenquete, the current VP of @IHU_Marseille@twitter.com is asked whether the March 2020 Gautret et al. study performed at his institution was a fraud.
He answers with "Yes".

My latest Clinical Pipeline column at #NatureMedicine is just out.
This was an interesting piece for me, to see what's going with drugs targeting #TGFbeta family molecules in a clinical setting, in this case an activin receptor 2a/IgG1 Fc domain fusion protein selectively mopping up ligands. The drug's been through trials in oncology, thalassemia & other conditions, but it looks like it had a good hit in pulmonary arterial #hypertension.

Join us at 1.30 today for a live discussion on the evidence around SARS-CoV-2 origins on #IndependentSage, with David Roberston and Stuart Neil, with me and Steven Griffin on questions, shortly after the numbers.
"China’s doctors have a blunt message for Xi Jinping: the country’s healthcare system is not prepared to deal with a huge nationwide coronavirus outbreak that will inevitably follow any easing of strict measures to contain Covid-19."

Fm 'La mirada invertida del arte povera en la fotografía' in El Pais
“Italia se convertirá en un centro emergente de vídeo, y es también allí donde se observa en ese momento el vínculo más fuerte entre los artistas y la fotografía. Existía realmente una comunidad de pensamiento interesada en integrar estos medios al nuevo lenguaje contemporáneo. Ello se debe, quizás, a la importancia que habían alcanzado dentro de la sociedad. Una presencia a la que la vanguardia respondía de forma crítica, casi política”.
