Thank you for accepting our invitation Joe and for sharing your exciting research! You still have the best images and videos of platelet formation in the field!
Special thanks to Sandra Pinho for the opportunity to give a seminar at The University of Illinois at Chicago. It was a pleasure meeting with the students and faculty in the Department of Pharmacology & Regenerative Medicine. #megakaryocyte

US President confuses transgenic and transgender. The bar for moronic statements from politicians about science is set very high these days, but he hurdled it with ease...

Donald Trumps address to Congress in his second term showcased bold claims on tax cuts, trade wars, and ending DEI programmes. Key moments included viral memes, his 'Transgender Mice' comment, and...

People who spend their careers writing NIH grants are the literal opposite of grifters. It is a soul-sucking, brutal process. The scientists don’t get rich when they get funded. Their salary doesn’t change. They do it for science. For patients. You know, to make 🇺🇸healthy.

Should not be a flat rate, but in inverse proportion to institution endowment. This is going to tank and decimate so many institutions and labs. Especially since it seems there is no increase to number of grants or grant size.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above

Did you know? Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Thrilled to share our latest work in Science. We discovered a novel non-mobilizable HSC pool. I really appreciate the huge support from @SteidlUli @The_Will_Lab and all the co-authors. I hope Paul is smiling at all of us from above!

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are routinely mobilized from the bone marrow (BM) to the blood circulation for clinical transplantation. However, the precise mechanisms by which individual stem cells...
