Both is absolutely correct, Danes read English without problems or hesitations & alternatives exist. However, your perspective on NB should be seen, irrespective of alternatives. 😊 Will either version (UK/US) be distributed in the rest of Europe (incl. Denmark) via non-online options?

How about publishing it in Denmark? Just, you know, because of …. Niels Bohr.

Post-replicative chromatin accessibility predicts cell fate change Knudsen and colleagues use repli-ATAC-seq to compare replicated and unreplicated chromatin in two models of cell identity change. They find that lineage-specific elements are accessible earlier in rep...

DNA replication globally disrupts the epigenome. But does this create a chromatin-access opportunity for TF binding to facilitate cell identity change? Now 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢-𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐂-𝐬𝐞𝐪 shows 𝘥𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘰 chromatin opening & TF binding occurs specifically post-replication, in cellular differentiation & reprogramming!

Fly model for motion sickness? 😅 May one ask seriously though what the experiment is about. Looks super intriguing.

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff
Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to
Greenland to take care of the many people who are
sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!!
President DJT

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

Happy to share scHiCAR, an ultra-high throughout (millions of cells), low cost (5 cents/cell including NGS), and trimodal platform for integrated single-cell level analysis of mRNA, open chromatin, and 5-kb resolution looping with ground-truth data the same individual cell.

Tissue mechanics and systemic signaling safeguard epithelial tissue against spindle misorientation Bosveld et al. identified a multilayered system of safeguards that reuses homeostatic mechanisms to maintain epithelial integrity and cell number in the face of spindle misorientation.

How resilient are tissues to cell mispositioning and loss, and how do they restore their cell numbers?

Black-and-white photograph of Vera Menchik, the pioneering first Women's World Chess Champion, seated at a chessboard in deep concentration during a game or study session. She rests her chin on her clasped hands, elbows on the table, gazing intently downward at the board with a calm, focused expression. Menchik has dark hair pulled back and wears a long-sleeved cardigan or sweater. The chessboard in the foreground displays a mid-game position with black and white pieces in play, including prominent kings, queens, bishops, knights, rooks, and pawns. Behind her, heavy dark curtains frame a bright window letting in natural light.

In 1927, Vera Menchik became the first Women's World Chess Champion at age 21 & is the longest-reigning women's champion in #chess history.

She defended the title 7 times, held it undisputed until her tragic death in 1944 at age 38 in a V-1 rocket bombing during #WWII. She was born #OTD in 1906.

Interested in transcriptional regulation, enhancers and 3D genome folding?

In this new study we wondered about the role of cohesin loading at enhancers for long-range transcriptional control

I think that, like with art, papers offer an opportunity for you to tell the story your own way. Could another person research the same question? Yes. However, each person has the opportunity to do it and communicate it in their own way, and we must protect that 🧪

We need to teach PhD students how to write a great cover letter - one that links their research to a future lab’s goals, shows genuine enthusiasm, and clearly explains fit. It’s not a CV summary or a formality; it’s their first real conversation with future colleagues.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Human eggs ‘rejuvenated’ in an advance that could boost IVF success rates Exclusive: Research suggests supplementing eggs with a key protein reduces age-related defects, raising hopes of improved IVF for older women

Our work on improving human egg quality was featured in @theguardian.com.
We hope this will help to make #IVF more successful and allow more couples to conceive. 💜

Thanks a ton for the super informative link. Remarkable to see that many women were actually chosen for the new names. Rachel Carson - outstanding choice, indeed!

This is very encouraging to read. Presumably this was not state-/municipality-driven, but due to locals?

Tusind tak Stinus! Jeg sender informationen ud til så mange som mulig. Jeg undervise dog mellem 9:15 og 12:00. 🫣😤 Først og fremmest, helt og lykke på de sidste meter!

Tak Stinus. Det ville være fremragende. 100 millioner spørgsmål 😉 strømmer over campus lige nu, som alle prøver at finde svar på. Jeg er sikker på, at et besøg på din gamle hjemmebase ville hjælpe med at finde nogle af disse. 🙏 Ses forhåbentlig mandag.

Tak for svaret. Definitivt klokken 12. Der er et krydsningspunkt i midten af Nørre Campus (55.7004652, 12.5599248), hvor alle skal forbi mellem bygningerne. Tak! 🙏

Diagrams of fruit fly larvae (left) and adult (right) annotated with genes expressed in different tissues, including male- or female-biased gene expressions. A diagram providing an overview of the regulation of antimicrobial peptide and other host effector peptides by Toll and Imd signalling, alongside diagrams showing the diversity of the peptides. A summary table illustrating sequence features common to antimicrobial peptides, and a summary table of gene families. A diagram giving a model for the mechanisms of antimicrobial peptide and host defence peptide actions in killing microbial cells, including precise mechanisms, broader host-pathogen relationships, and non-microbicidal roles of these peptides in protecting the host.

Bizarre that our 2020 #Drosophila #AMP review already feels out of date.

Thanks to #AnnualReviews to cover the many updates in the field and present a much more complete picture of the diversity, mechanisms, topics, of fly immunity re: host defence peptides.
