Nature research paper: Energy deficiency selects crowded live epithelial cells for extrusion go.nature.com/4n3M3Q2

What if we could manipulate biology as quickly and easily as we do software? That is the bet Patrick Hsu and Arc Institute are making. Science is slow because biology is the most complex system we study and because we do not natively speak its language (DNA). Those constraints are

biomedical research is stuck in the "guess and check" era. how can we improve our batting average? enjoyed this fun chat on hype, hope, and heft in AI for biology with Jorge Conde and Erik Torenberg on the a16z pod

Super cool science!

Wow wow wow this is huge!

Vaccines are a victim of their own success None of you have seen tetanus or diphtheria or smallpox - because of vaccines But it also means you probably don't know how horrific they are

Hi chemist here 👋. Not sure you can call this a win. High-fructose corn syrup is no worse or better than cane sugar or honey. Once digested, both deliver roughly the same amounts of glucose and fructose.

"We don't hire smart people to tell them what to do, we hire them to tell us what to do." ERC grantee Jan Lagerwall (quoting Steve Jobs), during #RIDaysEU discussion of how a bottom up approach, supporting investigator-driven frontier research, helps us meet future challenges.

Easing up bureaucracy within the EU would be great to facilitate the start-up ecosystem. Of the many factors contributing to us lagging behind is how difficult it is to get funded for start-ups within the sea of bureaucracy. The US does this very well

Amazing

In light of recent phase III successes (REGN1908-1909 and garetosmab), it's kind of interesting to reflect on the $REGN pipeline of 8 years ago when these two were in phase I. Of 13 early/mid programs: 6 (46%) have been approved in their intended indications: Dupi,

This would be awesome to wear at the defense!

This might be great to tackle antibiotic resistance mechanisms through creation of highly specific, never seen before by nature, bacteriophages! So so cool!

Damn! What an advancement for patients haunted by this rare, but terrifying disease which turns soft tissues into bone. And amazing of Regeneron to persist even if it is a "niche" market. People over profit. Amazing!

this is a cool paper, congrats! I'm still trying to make up my mind about whether systems-level engineering of a genome makes more sense than targeted iteration over a single gene/protein of interest. I realize it's unfair of me, but in my mind navigating a sequence space

The six nuclear reactors Germany and Belgium shut down *after* the Russian invasion of Ukraine would be very useful to the EU right now. Those reactors are equal to about 9 billion cubic meters of gas. Europe should consider following America’s lead in restarting nuclear

Using a new workflow, we map ciliated (green) and secretory cells (pink) that line the epithelium of whole human fallopian tube. With age (menopause), the number of ciliated cells decreases and the number of secretory cells increases. More here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Does anyone know of a pre-trained classifier to distinguish between interphase and mitotic cells based on tubulina staining?
