We condemn the military aggression against Ukraine. We will contribute EUR 2.5 million to humanitarian relief funds for Ukraine and do everything we can to help our impacted colleagues, their families and communities.

On 19 August 1939 Stalin's Soviet Union began a new era in economic cooperation with Nazi Germany, in which Moscow would supply Berlin with oil. 1/

What's the danger of a world without beauty? If everything is simply functional, simply useful, then life becomes a mere conveyor belt. It turns humans into machines of consumption, labour, & reproduction. Aren't we more than that?

“Pedal bin or flushing toilet?” Either way, a neat macromolecular machine for glycan capture, processing and transport across the outer membrane! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Check out our pre-print for new insights into TonB-dependent glycan acquisition by OM 'Utilisome' complexes!

Gut pTDP43 is an early marker of ALS with pathology detectable up to 10 years before neurological involvement! Super excited to share our new paper available now. Summary findings and implications below (🧵) #ALS #MND #biomarkers #ALSResearch #EndALS onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cj…

Medin - the most common human amyloid known today - is involved in Alzheimer disease! Great work in Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… from the Neher lab @NeherJonas Jessica Wagner @DZNE_de TübingenNeuroCampus Universität Tübingen

Misfolded Aβ, αS, Tau have infectious properties rdcu.be/c22GZ. No evidence of human disease induction but precautions warranted. We have now established designated PIA labs (PIA=Potentially Infectious Agents) for all work with protopathic seeds with strict safety rules

It's lovely to finally see this beautiful work from @milkowilko Rodrigo Gallardo and friends on β2m amyloid out today in Nature Communications #AmyloidLego Understanding Life in Molecular Detail @Astbury_BSL RadfordLab Wellcome Medical Research Council #OpenAccess at rdcu.be/c6JU7

Imagine tracking the same cell's transcriptomic state 3 days later after some chemo and radiotherapy to understand what therapies do to the cell state. Read below for how we use nanotechnology to do this. Paolo Actis Lucy Stead biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Dr. Paul Janssen, the founder of Janssen pharmaceutica (now J&J), was one of the most prolific drug discovery scientists ever. Between 1953-1991 Janssen and his team discovered >70 new medicines. I enjoyed this paper about his R&D philosophy: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
