"These endosymbiont-targeted proteins (ETPs) include two proteins annotated as dynamin-like protein and peptidoglycan hydrolase that form a ring-shaped structure around the endosymbiont division site that remarkably resembles organellar division machineries."

'Details emerging after the biggest ever national police operation against rightwing extremism indicate that suspects may have been informed in advance of the raids, in which 3,000 police officers targeted more than 150 addresses across Germany, and in Austria and Italy, making 25 arrests.'
In #JapaneseFolklore iwana bozu are char (a type of river fish) who grow to an enormous size and transform into #yokai. They're able to shapeshift into human form, dress in Buddhist priest's robes, walk and talk. Mostly they approach people who are fishing in rivers to ask them to stop, and to avoid needless killing and to take only what they need. Most people think they're priests and don't consider the possibility of them being yokai until after they've left.

'However, beyond emergence, there is little information regarding whether developing HSCs respond in utero to maternal inflammation, how they respond, and the consequences for postnatal hematopoietic and immune development. We hypothesize that the fetal HSC response to prenatal inflammation drives lasting changes to hematopoietic output in offspring that shapes the postnatal immune response.'

Graduate student funding in Canada hasn't increased in nearly 20 years 😩. The next generation of bright minds are living in poverty.
It literally takes 10 seconds to help: https://www.supportourscience.ca/contact-your-mp
All they need is your name, postal code, and email—they will auto-send a letter to your Canadian MP about supporting science funding increases.
Not Canadian? Posting about or amplifying this crisis can help add pressure too.

Villa Vespa is a crumbling building in Italy, with frescoed walls and ceiling. In the middle of the room is an old blue scooter.

Come do awesome science and learn with me!
I have a PhD position available to study the effects of variation on miRNA targeting.
* Why does mutating miRNA sites not always have an effect on the target?
* Why does varying miRNA level not affect the levels of all targets?

"Together with other Africa-derived BA.1-like sequence entries, the Omicron ancestors clustered in basal sister relationship between the Omicron clade sensu strictu, the BA.1 sublineage and Omicron ancestors belonging to the globally circulating B.1 lineage (Fig. 3, A and B). Phylogeographic analyses supported BA.1 origins in Western Africa preceding spread in Southern Africa (fig. S4), which was consistent with the PCR-based data (table S2)."

'The notion that development is plastic—i.e. malleable in response to environmental, genetic or stochastic perturbations—is not something that will surprise epidemiologists, although the terminology may not be a familiar one. Indeed, epidemiology is concerned almost exclusively with ‘plastic’ processes, with the reliable identification of exposures that lead to modification of disease risk through such processes being of central concern.'

I joined @QueerTalk to chat about my Broadway musical ‘Allegiance’ soon to be playing in London. It’s a story about love, family, and heroism during a dark chapter of American history.
