Craig Mello was awarded the Nobel Prize after discovering a process called RNA interference, which can regulate gene expression by silencing selected genes, or rendering them inactive. This plays an important regulatory role within a genome. Read more: https://t.co/4Zs6NLe2OR

A newly found organism is challenging our definition of life itself. Called Sukunaarchaeum mirabile – named after a tiny Japanese deity – this strange organism doesn’t fit neatly into biology’s rulebook. It’s not quite a virus, but not a fully independent cell either. Instead,

💉Eradicating polio should have been humanity’s greatest healthcare achievement. 🇵🇰🇦🇫 Sadly, it is still endemic in Pakistan and Afghanistan. 🗣️It was great hearing from Alice Macdonald MP that now is the time to make sure every child is protected from this disease.

“It’s kind of horrifying when you’re an adjunct and your employment depends on a 19-year-old’s evaluation of what you’re doing in the classroom”. The problem with teacher evaluations:

Some fun numbers about the "speeds" of cells: 1. Sugar molecules move at ~250 mph in a cell, about 2x the speed of a Cessna 172 plane. 2. Every protein is hit by ten trillion water molecules each second. 3. ATP synthase (which makes ATP) spins around 8,040 times per minute.

Innate defense at onset of development: Embryos eliminate bacteria via phagocytosis by epithelial cells. Zebrafish embryos engulf bacteria via zippering protrusions, inducing program crucial for development. Phagocytosis conserved in mouse & human embryos https://t.co/nJgRGurwSD

Our paper is now published! The first encounter of a forming organism with bacteria reveals that innate immunity initiates in epithelial cells of early embryos, even in humans. https://t.co/ozYCyQ723n made in @IBMB_CSIC @CSIC @idibell_cat 1/9
