The term “pregnant people” includes pregnant women & also people who are pregnant but are not women. It doesn’t in any way erase/deny women; it’s just more inclusive. I am a woman. I have friends who are not women but can get pregnant. Language that includes them doesn’t hurt me.
Latest from the lab. Alfred Fillol and Jakob T Rostøl deserve all the merit. Here we show that PICIs carry an impressive arsenal of defense systems that block HGT. We also demonstrate that phages benefit from mobilizing these PICIs to target competing MGEs. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Thrilled to share our latest work about PICIs published in Cell! It was a pleasure to work with these brilliants scientists! Huge congrats to all them (Jakob T Rostøl, Adaeze D. Ojiogu, JChen Lab, Gill Douce, Suzie, José R Penadés)
Here is the link for the paper (cell.com/cell/fulltext/…), but please read the magnific thread that Jakob T Rostøl has tweeted x.com/jakob_tr/statu…

An amino acid that senses cellular stress offers an enticing target for new therapies aimed at suppressing inflammation or accelerating the healing of skin wounds, according to a new Science Translational Medicine study involving research in large animals and mouse models. scim.ag/2bw
