'But for all the ground that’s been gained, the road ahead is arduous. Long COVID still lacks a universal clinical definition and a standard diagnosis protocol; there’s no consensus on its prevalence, or even what symptoms fall under its purview.'

In China there is a legend that if a carp is strong enough to swim upstream against strong currents, it can become a dragon.

🎨'Carp' from an untitled series known as 'Large Fish' - Utagawa Hiroshige, 1842.
"Here, we have identified a population of innate lymphocytes that we term tissue-resident memory-like natural killer (NKRM) cells. In response to murine cytomegalovirus infection, we show that circulating NK cells were recruited in a CX3CR1-dependent manner to the salivary glands where they formed NKRM cells, a long-lived, tissue-resident population that prevented autoimmunity via TRAIL-dependent elimination of CD4+ T cells."

"This systematic uncertainty in career prospects further tips the scale against researchers from underrepresented groups7, those who are less able to flexibly respond to emerging career opportunities (for example, through geographical relocation or by working overtime) and potentially even those who prioritize research quality over their personal employability."
"FENS travel grants are avialble travel grants to support young investigators, PhD or MSc students attending the 46th Annual Meeting of Japan Neuroscience Society: Towards the Galaxy of Neuroscience (Sendai International Center, Aoba-ku, Japan, 1-4 August 2023)."
What a heartbreaking novel. I saw Kasdan's film version in the 80s, a very good movie with one of the all time best siblings castings (William Hurt, Kathleen Turner, Ed Begley Jr & David Ogden Stiers).
But Tyler's book is even better.

"Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a receptor for capsaicin and noxious heat, has been one of the most compelling targets for analgesics. However, systemic inhibition of TRPV1 is an impractical approach as a pain killer, since systemic antagonism induces hyperthermia. Two articles in this issue of the JCI report phenotypes from separate, rare missense mutations of human TRPV1."

A 16th C Japanese medical text explains how diseases were caused by tiny bugs that entered the body and were known as creepy germs or mushi. One of these was known as kosho, an odd, bearded, snake-like, sake-drinking creature whose hat protects it from medicine.

In our #MidweekMovie we look at germband extension in Drosophila embryos.
In their @Dev_journal paper, Lenin Chandran, @luschnig , H.-Arno Müller and colleagues find that Src42A is required for E-cadherin dynamics during axis elongation.
