NF-κB responses are functionally partitioned by enhancer architecture: phos-sensitive sites define a NF-κB-dominated latent enhancer compartment, whereas primed sites are embedded in broader networks of lineage-determining factors @ImmunityCP cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S…

I’ve spent years watching T cells kill cancer cells through the microscope. The failed attacks are just as fascinating as the successes. Can you spot the failed attack halfway through this video? 👀🔬🦠

Nature paper... CANCER is evil...it prepares distant organs for metastasis BEFORE tumor cells arrive Suppressive myeloid cells helped build lung premetastatic niches. Epigenetic therapy disrupted this process and reduced metastases nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

This sounds like a good book countering simplistic & naive notions. “So long as we insist that cells are computers and genes are their code,” writes Ball, life might as well be “sprinkled with invisible magic”. But, reality “is far more interesting and wonderful” 1/3

In a new #SciencePolicyArticle, researchers report on a large-scale randomized controlled trial evaluating the impacts of classroom phone restrictions on student outcomes in India. The findings show that restricting phone use can support learning, particularly among lower-performing students. Learn more: scim.ag/4yahHQA

Every cell has an organelle signature — a “fingerprint” created from the shape, size & arrangement of its internal structures. HHMI scientists can now read these signatures across 1000s of cells, revealing how tissues adapt to diet & disease bit.ly/4j6DmoH 📹FelicianoLab

A seminal paper on aging of our immune system was just published. From study of over 12 million single-cells in 8 cohorts, >2,600 individuals, ranging in age from 18 to 98. Yielding a practical blood test. And much more. A Tale of Two T cells In the new Ground Truths

By age 70, 40% of men have mosaic loss of Y chromosome (mLOY); about 20% exhibit Y loss in at least 10% of their blood cells. mLOY carries a significant risk for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and autoimmunity. But we don't measure it! Reviewed in @ScienceMagazine today science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
