Review on HIF and stromal-tumor interactions by Missiaen et al @embojournal
"In this review, we discuss how HIF-mediated mechanisms control nutrient sensing and availability in the TME, the competition for nutrients, and the metabolic cross-talk between tumor and stromal cells."

Interesting piece in Nature about the type 1 #diabetes drug Teplizumab, the first that the FDA has ever approved to delay the onset of the disease:
I wrote about the drug in mid December for #NatureMedicine

"Inspired by the humble and much maligned bat, Paratus is hoping to study the unique characteristics that have evolved in the only flighted mammal over millions of years to solve afflictions such as inflammation, viral infection and more."

"Here, we demonstrate the induction of both systemic and mucosal antibody responses against HuNoV in suckling mice using recombinant Rhesus rotaviruss expressing HuNoV VP1 or P domain."

"Here we report a murine model that expresses tumor-like levels of human APOBEC3B after Cre-mediated recombination. Animals appear to develop normally with full-body expression of APOBEC3B. However, adult males manifest infertility and older animals of both sexes show accelerated rates of tumorigenesis (mostly lymphomas or hepatocellular carcinomas)"
Does accumulation of #macromolecules in the highly protein-rich #mitochondrial matrix regulate solute diffusion and biochemical reactions?
Using FRAP analysis of #organelle-targeted fusion peptides, Werner Koopman and colleagues report macromolecular crowding as a stress-dependent determinant of matrix mobility and viscosity

I love the point where science meets art.
What you see are cells of the eye that are important for neuron function and health. In the bottom half, where you see all the protrusions, is where the cells and neurons collide. #LoveScience

My thoughts on the Met’s new Lohengrin:
Intro: I'm a #Biology professor researching the #Neurogenetics of #learning and #memory in #Drosophila. I study how operant or motor memories are formed and how other forms of learning regulate these processes. As spontaneous behavior is required for operant learning, I also study how #spontaneity arises in nervous systems.

Disclaimer: Since I got tenure in 2012, my non-tenured co-authors decide where our manuscripts are submitted.
Thinking about the NYT (and other) pieces about the collapse of both time and world view in pandemic, and pieces in Atlantic (and elsewhere) about the collapse of time and post #ww2 worldview in the accumulating/ staggering local and global crises. These are such deeply related phenomena. Braudel had some things very right in terms of how we think about human history and what matters and when. #history #DeepTime #Braudel #histodons
"Several of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies are fighting shareholder proposals to force them to disclose information on their use of a controversial patent strategy that can delay rivals from launching cheaper versions of blockbuster drugs.
A coalition of ethical investors have asked Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Gilead, Amgen, Regeneron, Bristol Myers Squibb and AbbVie to publish a report on the process they follow when applying for multiple patents on a single drug."

"Shadow science advice has always been present, especially in the context of highly political debates, but in the pandemic, shadow science advice took on new prominence, raising questions around its potentially pathological effects on legitimacy and trust in expertise"

"Mechanistically, glycolysis augmented ATP production to boost STING activation and STING-dependent DC antitumor functions. Moreover, DC-intrinsic STING activation accelerated HIF-1a–mediated glycolysis and established a positive feedback loop."
