Just sent my one slide to #conferencetoendallconferences Normally I am not thrilled sending a presentation ahead of time, this time I'm really excited🕺

The publishing industry currently prioritises its needs over the research community. In a new article in @learnedpublishing.bsky.social, eLife’s Damian Pattinson and George Currie explore how scholarly communication can move towards science-led publishing. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Fascinating story--well worth a read! 🧪

👀

aligning identity is a challenge 👇

bacteria have been exchanging DNA for ages

as cells grow they become less sensitive to external signals 👇

cool

Stromal lipid species dictate melanoma metastasis and tropism: Cancer Cell www.cell.com/cancer-cell/... great work from Amaya Viros @cruk-mi.bsky.social

we found lots of ants on yesterday's hike

👀does this tech have the potential to cure all diseases? they found a way that perhaps enables targeting any given protein. The thing is, we don't know if targeting a protein will actually cure many disease that we care about like cancer and alzheimer's

"We demonstrate that L2HGDH deficiency causes accumulation of L-2HG, enhanced NPC proliferation and clonogenicity, excessive growth of cerebral organoids, and suppressed neuronal differentiation, all of which are normalized by editing the L2HGDH locus to wild-type."👇

" During the dauer stage, we measured a decelerated increase in age compared to the chronological age and an age reversal following dauer exit."👇

new fluorescent proteins: 1. stand fixation, good for em too. 2. stay bright during the steps of affinity purification (eg his tag). 3. increase solubility of fusion when expressed in e coli. 👇

New tools! GreenPy and ApplePy are fluorescent biosensors for pyruvate with huge responses (20–40x in vitro) and a range of affinities (10s of μM to mM). These should be game changers for imaging of metabolism! Great work by Shosei Imai @sikmys.bsky.social and team 👏. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

seeing the light from a distant galaxy is like seeing a paper published in a journal years after being on biorxiv

I noticed that ai writes the paper while i get to suffer the submission system🤔

"Together, these data raise intriguing open questions regarding the unknown TRIM functions in physiol-ogy and disease"👇
