Excited to share our work published in @cp-immunity.bsky.social! We investigated the role of HIF-1α in CD4 T cells using #Xenium spatial transcriptomics in infected lungs containing #TertiaryLymphoidStructures (TLS) (1/10).

We need more stuff like this. The incentive is to always be making the new groundbreaking tool, while maintenance + improvement of "old" tools gets left behind. But there is still heaps to be gained in "old" tools
The Vatican Museums' Bramante Staircase provides a striking visual metaphor for a vicious feedback cycle in scholarly publishing: rising paper submissions across an expanding landscape of journals strains the limited supply of volunteer peer review labor, which in turn makes editorial decisions less predictable and encourages authors to submit their work more ambitiously, increasing the burden on peer reviewers further still.

The process of #PeerReview is vital to contemporary science, but is also under enormous strain. @carlbergstrom.com & Kevin Gross use mathematical models to dissect the threats to the long-term viability of peer review, suggesting ways to stabilize it @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4kR02bo
As scRNA-seq cohorts grow in scale (e.g. FinnGen, TenK10K), so does the need for methods that can handle millions of cells from thousands of donors. LIVI's scalable design enables systematic trans-eQTL discovery in such datasets, revealing cellular mechanisms underlying complex disease risk. 11/n
Working on trans-eQTL mapping with population-scale scRNA-seq? Meet LIVI, our latest framework that enables efficient trans-eQTL mapping at single-cell resolution across cohorts of hundreds to thousands of donors.

A child drawing of a female scientist. The hedline is: What does a scientist look like? Children are drawing women more than ever before
When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I agree, very interesting! Research by Marignani Lab team @pmarignani.bsky.social 💡
A reminder that proteins are highly dynamic molecules.
🟧 We have made much progress in measuring & predicting static protein structures, but the dynamics that animate life remain challenging to measure & model.

This preprint combines cell-line scRNA-seq reanalysis with bulk LUAD checks in cBioPortal. The cross-dataset consistency for metabolic and cell cycle terms is encouraging.

microcentrifuge tube racks with Rack names
I was lucky enough to inherit a bunch of racks where a graduate student had labelled all of them with Rack jokes 😂, perfect. I am dead at Racksputin.
