🟢The crystal structure of the green fluorescent protein, GFP! 🟢
The chromophore is yellow. The protein rigidizes the chromophore, releasing energy as fluorescence.

"Always recognize that uncertainty is inherent in rheumatology. A clinician must remain open to being wrong and willing to reconsider earlier assumptions. Finally, cultivate observation. Careful listening and attention to detail are as important in medicine as in the arts."
- Weisman (2026)
CAR-T therapy for autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) / immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) / antiphospholipid syndrome (APS):
"These findings highlight the role of immune pathways and chemokine signaling in RA pathogenesis, which may serve as potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets in the future."
"Specifically, the study revealed differential expression of 22 genes encoding chemokines and chemokine receptors...differentially expressed genes revealed that these were enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, chemokine signaling, and T cell receptor signaling."
"The authors (Zhang et al. 2022) found significant differences between the RA and OA synovial transcriptome, with 851 differentially expressed genes identified (474 upregulated, 377 downregulated), and suggest the quantitation of specific hub genes as a predictive tool."

Fortunate to be back in Adelaide this week for two significant research events coinciding in my calendar. The @austrheumatology.bsky.social hosts an Early Career Researcher Information Event today, and the @asbte.bsky.social hosts their 30th Annual Conference at the National Wine Centre from Monday.

We’re developing the Australian Rheumatology Journal (ARJ), a diamond open access, peer-reviewed journal from the Australian Rheumatology Association. Launching May 2026 at the ARA ASM. Created as a trusted home for Australian musculoskeletal research. More updates to come!
