Ohio State announces every student will use AI in class COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Starting this fall, every Ohio State student will be asked to use artificial intelligence. “Through AI Fluency, Ohio State students will be ‘bilingual’ — fluent …

"Through AI Fluency, Ohio State students will be ‘bilingual’ — fluent in both their major field of study and the application of AI in that area"

Ohio State really not beating the allegations out of Ann Arbor here.

Neutrophils secrete exosome-associated DNA to resolve sterile acute inflammation - Nature Cell Biology Arya et al. report that migrating neutrophils resolve acute inflammation by releasing exosomes associated with nuclear DNA. This process is distinct from the release of neutrophil extracellular traps,...

Excited to share our recently published study on how DNA secretion in neutrophils modulates their inflammatory response spearheaded by @sbarya.bsky.social

Thanks to all our collaborators and contributors for their help getting this story to press.

👏👏

Fascinating study with absolutely mind-blowing good EM images. I’m curious about these trimmer and junction points that form in the HFs. How stable are these structures? Is there a unique lipid composition required for this?

Also, is the idea that this is limited to HF structures or canon MVBs too?

Tissue-like multicellular development triggered by mechanical compression in archaea The advent of clonal multicellularity is a critical evolutionary milestone, seen often in eukaryotes, rarely in bacteria, and only once in archaea. We show that uniaxial compression induces clonal mul...

Pretty much everything is fucked, but here is some beautiful and exciting science from @archaeon-alex.bsky.social and colleagues.

Many brilliant scientists are now being punished by having our funding terminated because we are from underrepresented groups. We did everything right and we EARNED these awards. Remember us when you’re making decisions on whether DEI should be sacrificed to “protect” research funding. #InMyFeelings

Congratulations Tim!

Nucleoplasmic signals promote directed transmembrane protein import simultaneously via multiple channels of nuclear pores - Nature Communications The contribution of central and peripheral channels of nuclear pores to transport of transmembrane proteins is unclear. Here the authors show that most inner nuclear membrane proteins use only periphe...

This adds to another fascinating paper showing that membrane proteins like lamin B receptor travel not through the central channel at all, but around the side of the nuclear pore complex through a peripheral channel.

Overlapping nuclear import and export paths unveiled by two-colour MINFLUX - Nature High spatiotemporal precision tracking using 3D MINFLUX shows that nuclear import and export occur in overlapping regions of the central pore, providing insight into transport across the nuclear pore ...

Incredible findings regarding the mechanism of active transport through Nuclear Pore Complexes. Seems importin travels only through the periphery of the central channel leaving a large dead zone in the center.

I am amazed at this achievement. This is done using fairly off the shelf components. 🧪

love this game, it’s a slot machine with extremely good gameplay. still a lot of kinks to be worked out before release but the devs have been trying stuff out and it’s been improving significantly since the start of the beta

Fascinating science inspires incredible art. Check out the video, it’s one of the least clickbait things i’ve seen

Black Swan is my comfort movie

I had an amazing time at the Directed Cell Migration Gordon Research Seminar. Excited for the next phase of amazing science and community in beautiful Tuscany!!

The scientific method served humanity well for hundreds of years but it was rendered obsolete in 2013 with the discovery of Vibes

Hello Florence! From here to the Gordon conference on Directed Cell Migration, can’t wait!
