Petition: Review all trade ties with Israel, suspend 2030 roadmap & impose trade sanctions We call on the Government to review existing trade ties with Israel, suspend the 2030 Roadmap for UK-Israel bilateral relations and impose trade sanctions upon Israel.

Please sign this Parliamentary petition calling for comprehensive trade sanctions on Israel - the limited sanctions on specific members of the Israeli Government by the UK do not go far enough: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Do any of my #tbsky friends have interests in T cell responses in people with evidence of prior Mtb infection?

If so, would you have any interest in looking at T cell responses to Mtb-derived peptides that we have detected by mass spectrometry? LMK 🙏🏽

📄 Update on our preprint about Gene Regulatory Net (GRN) benchmarking 📄
We have included the original and decoupled version of SCENIC+, added a new metric and two more databases. Dictys and SCENIC+ outperformed others, but still performed poorly in causal mechanistic tasks.

Applying LLMs to biomedical research today can go one of two ways: we either use a closed-source web app, or we get coding ourselves. Many researchers lack training for the latter, so their only choice is the former. We want to change that. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Pyroptotic cell corpses are crowned with F-actin-rich filopodia that engage CLEC9A signaling in incoming dendritic cells - Nature Immunology Pyroptotic cell death results in inflammation. Here the authors find that F-actin-rich structures formed during macrophage pyroptosis persist after cell death to activate dendritic cells.

#NoTimeToDie! @inflammasomelab, Holley, Monteleone &co show @natimmunol.bsky.social that cells that die by #pyroptosis, or #necroptosis, are crowned with F-actin filopodia that makes them visible by dendritic cells via CLEC9A to initiate adaptive immunity! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
