Congrats to Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi for receiving  The Wistar Institute's Helen Dean King Award.  Fascinating talk, her  analogy of Michael Pfifer as a beautiful cancer cell coated with Sialic acid to trick immune cells 🧬not to kill it, when in reality it is horrid, was hilarious 😂!

What makes our cells human? The evolution of human development is undeniably fascinating. It is an exciting time to explore the details! We, Alex Pollen, craiglowe, Umut Kılık, Nature Reviews Genetics review and suggest new inroads: rdcu.be/c4Pno #sapiens #evodevo #organoids

So, we're no longer allowed to say that 5mC is the most common base modification in eukaryotes. Yes, it is the most common in multicellular eukaryotes, but the ancestor of eukaryotes most certainly had both marks, one associated with transcription, the other with silencing. 6/6

The researchers are now investigating how the starch-based nanofibers could be used for medical purposes such as wound dressing, for scaffolds in tissue regrowth and even in drug delivery ow.ly/QLhg50UcOr7

Here’s a great one-tube, four-step, 5–15 min DNA extraction method for on-bead PCR using alkaline polyethylene glycol (PEG) and paramagnetic beads. It could be very useful for point-of-need testing or other rapid field research. The method, by Lee et al. (2024), is called ASAP

Happy #Newtonmas! Isaac Newton was born Christmas Day, 1642. The apple tree in MIT's President's Garden is a direct descendant of the actual tree believed to have inspired Newton's theory of gravity.

Recent data suggests microbes form nanotubes with neighbors. This occurs not only between members of the same species, but also between different species. Other research, though, suggests that nanotubes only emerge from DYING cells. So who's right, and how might we find out? 🔻

So cool - Yang et al. used microfabrication techniques to make microscale and nanoscale patterns on frozen tardigrades before successfully reviving them! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Researchers at CUNY have developed diamene, a groundbreaking material formed by stacking two graphene layers. Under sudden pressure, diamene transforms into a diamond-like structure, offering exceptional hardness while remaining incredibly thin and flexible. This innovation holds
