Peroxiredoxin 1 safeguards the nucleolar genome from oxidative damage Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) is a highly conserved, thiol-dependent peroxidase that rapidly scavenges reactive oxygen species to modulate redox signaling. PRDX1-null mice exhibited genomic instability, sho...

🚨 Preprint Alert! 🚨
Ever wondered how the nucleolar genome is protected from oxidative damage?
Check our new preprint uncovering a previously unrecognized role of Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) in safeguarding ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from oxidative damage.

I was hoping that my first bsky post would be more cheerful. I recently joined NIH (NIEHS) as a PO. I fought hard for this position and was so excited to support health science from a new vantage point… I picked up my life and moved to NC. Unfortunately, my time at NIEHS was short lived.

Je pense que c’est sous-estimer l’histoire de ce pays, particulièrement les luttes des années 60. Attendons de voir la suite. Vous avez peut-être raison. L’histoire nous le dira.

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

Thank you, dear Antonio! We cannot exclude the possibility of Prx2 phenocopying Prx1. Our models have low to undetectable Prx2. Given their structural and localization similarities (i.e., nuclear), I would not exclude this possibility. More to come…

Fake news! Please read the entire study. It is fluoride over-exposure, and it is a 1.6 drop in IQ. I don’t want to lose my teeth to adjust to a standard deviation.
