Ovarian cancer is linked to age, and the majority of cases are diagnosed over age 50, after menopause. It's linked to how frequently you've ovulated in your life, because when you ovulate, the surface of the ovary is damaged and has to heal. Every time this happens, there's an opportunity for cell changes to happen.

"Indeed, I started to avoid writing as much as possible, and was genuinely worried that my problems with writing would stop me from becoming a good scientist. I know I missed out on several job opportunities and conferences, for example, simply because I couldn’t bring myself to put together a cover letter or an abstract."

Obituary for Jeffrey Pollard at Nature Cancer
"His landmark discovery in 2001 on the tumor-promoting role of macrophages in breast cancer propelled the cancer research field into studying the pro-tumoral roles of the immune compartment."

'Discussions now taking place at the World Health Organization seek to reach consensus on a new pandemic agreement. The intention is to learn from mistakes made during Covid-19 to better prepare for the future. Unfortunately, a key intellectual property problem remains unaddressed, threatening to limit the scope of what the agreement can achieve in assuring timely and equitable access to pandemic countermeasures.'

'This paper reports the results of mutant screens of #Arabidopsis carried out in 1988 at Caltech and several years subsequently at Monash University that focused on flower #morphogenesis and how they helped build a foundation for our understanding of this process'

"Although RBP-J is recognized as a key inhibitor of TNF-mediated osteoclastogenesis, the precise mechanisms that restrain TNF-induced differentiation of macrophages into osteoclasts are not fully elucidated. In this study, we identified that the Notch ligand Jagged1 is a previously unrecognized RBP-J target."

Dear microbial bioinformaticians. I have developed a cool genomes-to-report pipeline which I have named "assemblycomparator2" for prokaryotic genomes. (I think of it as a potential successor to Nullarbor.)
I'm thinking about finishing it up with an easy-to-install conda package but I need some help to get started. Is anyone interested in testing my software and giving me some feedback on how to develop this further?
'Records that might have thrown a crucial light on key decisions taken by the UK government were mysteriously destroyed during the 1980s and 1990s when legal developments in other countries seem to have raised fears in Whitehall that officials might be found liable.'

'Unlike bread-and-butter issues like wages, benefits and the terms and conditions of employment — topics over which management, according to labor law, must negotiate “in good faith” — technology, like business strategy, constitutes managerial prerogative. This means that the use of technology, such as artificial intelligence, exists in a bargaining gray area. If workers bring it up, employers can either open a negotiation or reply with a simple “No, thanks.” But the W.G.A. deal put A.I. squarely on the table.'

🧪Anthony Domma’s paper from his PhD dissertation work in my laboratory is live at J Virol. Surprisingly, human cytomegalovirus (CMV) relies on PI3K/AKT being shut off via a well studied cell intrinsic mechanism (CMV rewires so much about mTOR!). The virus needs AKT “off” and FoxO transcription factors in the nucleus (AKT causes FoxO nuclear export) to efficiently replicate. #Virology #AKT #CMV #HCMV #LoveVirology https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jvi.00563-23

"But a series of strikes in higher education has swept across the United States and other countries, amid a reckoning over low pay and poor working conditions. The burgeoning biotech industry now offers US salaries that average $94,000, outstripping early-career academic positions by tens of thousands of dollars."

The strain on scientific publishing 📄:
The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?
Myself, @pablo, @Paolo, and @Dan have spent the last few months investigating just that.
