Always fun when the word "unusually" turns up in a UKHSA doc: "influenza activity increased, particularly among children, and is now above baseline. This is an unusually early start of the influenza season." www.gov.uk/government/s...
🦟 We've just published the world's first head-to-toe single-cell atlas of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in @cp-cell.bsky.social!
The #MosquitoCellAtlas maps 69 cell types across 19 tissues, revealing surprising biology. Read it here:
