Cytokines are tricky to study, let alone in vivo. New tool to study cells that respond to cytokine receptor activation

Beautiful work and beautiful images.

Somatic evolution following cancer treatment in normal tissue - Nature High-depth sequencing of non-cancerous tissue from patients with metastatic cancer reveals single-base mutational signatures of alcohol, smoking and cancer treatments, and reveals how exogenous factors, including cancer therapies, affect somatic cell evolution.

Yet another example of negative commercial determinants of health

Sunbeds are known to be especially harmful for young population, increasing the risk of skin cancer by 59%, according to the cancer research agency

And again yet, some governemnts prioritise (commercial) profir over (public) health

If you are looking for a postdoc position in a great lab with a fantastic PI, the Caswell Lab at UCL is recruiting 🙂

This is figure 5 from Wildfire smoke exposure and mortality burden in the US under climate change. It shows the mortality impacts of wildfire smoke PM2.5 and estimated mortality due to smoke 533 PM2.5 under future climate scenarios.

Increases in wildfires are expected to cause a notable increase in premature deaths, according to two studies in Nature.

I agree, Larry. I use it to get an overview of something I am not familiar with. I brainstorm with it. I ask for “brutally honest feedback” with a prompt that makes it challenge my thinking.
But I would not make it generate text from scratch. I have tried and it isn’t helpful.
