Preprints are much older than I thought. "In 1961, the [NIH] began to circulate biological preprints in a forgotten experiment called the Information Exchange Groups {IEGs)." A precursor to bioRxiv, the IEG apparently had more than 3,600 people on its mailing list and sent out

After leukemia treatments failed, Alyssa Tapley, at age 13, was told she would die. Then, doctors tried an experimental gene-edited therapy. She became the first human to try the treatment made possible by U.S. federal funding. Now 16, she’s cancer-free and planning her future.

“Housekeeping” proteins are cell type specific, eg different for neurons versus lymphocytes etc. This is why we include a variety of cytosolic, nuclear and other proteins as reference normalization standards in https://t.co/eO4BF89Fqu Quantitative Cell Proteomic Atlas
A reminder that the abundance of 'housekeeping' proteins varies significantly across cells and tissues. GAPDH is often slandered as a 'housekeeping' protein, and its abundance varies significantly across human tissues. How do you define a 'housekeeping' protein ?

Where do cancers start? In the liver, not all cells are the same. The liver is divided into 3 “zones,” and each specializes in different metabolic tasks. We show in @Science that where a mutation occurs in a liver lobule can determine a cell’s fate. https://t.co/3YTc77gZcd (1/9)
