A demonstration of stain removal on coated and rinsed fabrics compared to uncoated fabrics rinsed with only water or washed with detergent. This is Fig. 2c in the original manuscript.

A newly developed spray-on fabric coating described in Communications Chemistry could allow clothes to be cleaned using only water. The coating could potentially decrease the water and energy consumption of a typical laundry load by more than 80%. go.nature.com/4lzMNw8 #chemsky 🧪

One paper, one week: plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer's, how good are they? This blog is based on a recent publication by Dr. Cheryl Wellington's team at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada; most of the work was done by Jennifer G. Cooper. The paper is...

New blog post is out: review of a UBC paper examining the effect of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype on a plasma biomarker of Alzheimer's disease. What do these findings mean for early detection?

China is waging war on Alzheimer’s. What can its approach teach the rest of the world? The country is facing a coming wave of dementia for its ageing population, and is investing in research into drugs, diagnostics and even surgery to prepare itself.

China is facing a coming wave of #Alzheimers disease and other dementia conditions for its ageing population, and is investing in research into drugs, diagnostics and surgery to prepare itself. Nature reports on what other countries can learn from the approach. #medsky 🧪

What happens when researchers switch off an epigenetic “identity lock” in the intestine? 🧬
Today, we explore the H3K36 (lysine 36 to methionine) mutant mouse and how losing this single histone methylation mark makes cells confused, plastic, and oddly regenerative.

How Smooth Muscle Cells Change Identity in Aortic Aneurysm This story is taken from the paper by Honglin Dong et al. For full details, see below. The aorta is the body’s largest blood vessel, and its strength depends heavily on a special type of cell called v...

New post: How Smooth Muscle Cells Change Identity in Aortic Aneurysm. This piece summarizes recent findings on VSMC phenotypic switching and its role in aortic wall weakening. Read the full article: wix.to/DxHUmQf #vascularmedicine #cardiology #research #aorticaneurysm

We left off yesterday at the smooth muscle cell identity crisis in aortic aneurysm, Cao et al. found that smooth muscle cells in the aorta are not all the same.

Smooth muscle cells don’t just weaken in aortic aneurysms; they change identity. Healthy contractile cells become repair-focused, stem-like, or even immune-like cells. Mapping these shifts reveals how vessel walls move from stability to inflammation and failure.

HCl extraction works because histones love acid. Their strong positive charge keeps them soluble in HCl while other nuclear proteins fall away. A simple chemistry trick that reveals the biology of chromatin.
