Yup, if you right click on the image it exports as a multi-channel tif or separate images for each channel

I can no longer open tiled images from lif but my normal ones are working fine. For tiled I have to export them as tif first

Based on my reading raccoons tend to have lower levels of cytochrome p450 activity
in their livers which would put them at higher risk of damage from xenobiotics like caffeine and theobromine…..with that being said I have no evidence that they don’t have alternative mechanisms for clearance 🤷🏽‍♂️

Autoantibodies neutralizing type I IFNs in patients with fulminant herpes simplex virus hepatitis | Journal of Experimental Medicine | Rockefeller University Press Fulminant viral hepatitis (FVH) is a devastating condition caused by hepatotropic viruses. In 149 international FVH patients, auto-Abs neutralizing type I

Amazing to see red blood cells moving through the gills! Don’t forget to check out the supplemental movies ;-)

On the left - western blot of B16F10 cells wt and KO for CDK8. Our in house produced antibodies give a lot of unspecific bands. On the right same probes with antibodies preincubated with fixed CDK8 KO cells - there is a specific band and faint unspecific bands, which can be probably eliminated with increase of amount of KO cells.

Neat trick if you polycolonal ab's suck. Incubate them with fixed cells with a KO of your protein of interest, then spin. Protocol here: www.med.upenn.edu/markslab/ass...
I was amazed how well it worked on first try (I'm sure that I can completely eliminate unspecific bands)

Check out our new RAEFISH spatial transcriptomics technology published in Cell! This work represents the first time that transcripts from more than 20,000 genes were directly imaged in situ with any technology, and the first time numerous gRNAs were directly probed in an image-based CRISPR screen.

Ever since my early Evo-Devo days I have loved non-traditional models! Hope to get back to it some day, but in the meantime love to see scientists pioneering this type of work

Revisiting a Breathtaking Publication in the History of Molecular Biology

The last publication (he says!) from Rich Losick, my PhD advisor.

Historical in nature it focuses on a seminal paper in molecular biology, the study revealing the genetic code to be triplet in nature. Come for the science, appreciate the clear prose!

24 years ago today, I fell in love in NYC. In the shadow of Ground Zero & the horrors of that day.

We have been married for 22 years now. And we have two fabulous children.

I think of this whenever I worry about the darkness.

There can be beauty, even when the worst of humanity is on display.

Please RP.
We are thrilled to announce that our lab’s first preprint is out!
”Whole-genome single-cell multimodal history tracing to reveal cell identity transition”

We report HisTrac-seq, a multiomic single-cell molecular recording platform.

Have $10M and want to cure some diseases?

It costs ~$1B to invent a new medicine…but $10M buys you Project Encore, to see if ANY existing drug might be repurposed for ~100 diseases that have no treatments.

The MAHA Commission Launches A new executive order, red flags and wet blankets

We have a new EO launching the MAHA Commission. There's a lot of enthusiasm in nutrition spaces that MAHA will finally bring a spotlight to food, but I have a number of concerns - from un-serious descriptions of the problems we face to chemophobic dogwhistles

We're seeing continued censoring from the administration of scientific and clinical information including this crucial webpage from FDA of "Approved Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS)" which serve as critical programs for drug safety. No explanation, no notice. #MedSky

'Conjunctival Icterus,' Not 'Scleral Icterus' To the Editor.—  The expression "scleral icterus" generally used by physicians is grossly incorrect. For decades, physical diagnosis primers have cued medical students to look for "scleral icterus...

The correct term is conjunctival icterus.

The expression "scleral icterus" was previously and incorrectly perpetuated. See this scathing remark in @jama.com by an ophthalmologist.
