Still a chance to return to 1.5C climate goal, researchers say Report calls for scaling-up of renewable energy and electrification of key sectors to limit peak of global heating There is still a chance for the world to avoid the worst ravages of climate breakdown and return to the goal of 1.5C if governments take concerted action on greenhouse gas emissions, a new assessment argues. The Climate Analytics report says governments’ goals are inadequate and need to be rapidly revised, and calls for the rapid scaling-up of the use of renewable energy and electrification of key sectors including transport, heating and industry.

🧬 CAR T cells demonstrate the power of engineered cells as therapeutics. But they fail for most patients. Can CRISPR help here? Our new paper in Nature (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) presents a screening platform to optimize immunotherapies & discover boosters of CAR T cell function. (1/13)

Der immerwährende Klimakatastrophen-Zyklus in 10 Phasen.

Fazit vorweg: Es gab einmal die Hoffnung, dass wir als Gesellschaft aus Schaden klug werden. Diese Hoffnung ist nach Katastrophen und Wahlergebnissen in mehreren Ländern 2024-2025 naiv. Rückblickend war sie es immer schon...

What if we could look at a human tissue image🔬and quantify its biological age?🧬 And how could we get the same insights without collecting the tissue sample? In our new @biorxivpreprint, we create "tissue clocks" ⏳to do just that! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 📝 #aging #tissue thread below⬇️

🧬[1/7] Vaccines educate our adaptive immune system, but some also boost innate immunity. We investigated who profits from this “wake-up call” to the immune system, in a prospective clinical study with 323 volunteers. Check out our new paper in @ImmunityCP doi.org/10.1016/j.im...

Image of climate spiral showing monthly temperature anomalies through 2023 expanding outwards as the climate warms.

It was an unbelievable year for global climate.

As data is released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new climate change records. Apologies for all my graphs in advance!! 😬
