Very happy to see our review published in @cp-trendsbiochem.bsky.social!

Thanks to @leanntilley.bsky.social for the invitation to contribute.

Not quite, but sort of. It appears that there are proteins that synthesise DNA from free nucleotides without a template - the reverse of the Central Dogma.

The proteins don't influence the coding DNA that made them, but do make new DNA using the biochemical equivalent of basic building blocks.

Well this I did not expect...

Beautiful tomography work by @debnathghosal.bsky.social as always!

So something sun-like is rising (very far north), but there's a solar reflection over the Iberian peninsula suggesting the sun is already well up in the sky?

Use both until you've a reason to choose one over the other.

Hasn't *everyone* looking at membrane proteins being doing this since AF3 was first released?!?!

Section in a book on vaccine adjuvants titled Leveraging Large Datasets for Adjuvant Discovery. The text details analysis of volumetric CT chest scans for tumors, having absolutely nothing to do with adjuvants or vaccines.

Recently published (2025) book on Vaccine Adjuvants. Section on AI/ML in adjuvant discovery. Looks more like a Section on using AI/ML in writing your chapter...

But they're always so negative...

And we know that bat immune systems are... well, a bit odd shall we say?

Poking them at a population level seems like a "let's put lead in petrol" quality idea, solving one minor problem to trigger a massive new problem down the track.

Was really abrupt for me - no need for glasses at all until ~42 then found one evening that I couldn't read small print on a map in dim light. Hadn't noticed any issue until then. Distance vision still better than 6/6 but reading glasses are now essential.

Hopefully it has a chapter on recipes.
