New in PN: How the press helps Trump hide in plain sight publicnotice.co/p/trump-sanewa…

The world's energy and food supply chains are closely interlinked, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine is exacerbating a food crisis that was already under way Check out our new commentary exploring some of these dynamics➡️iea.li/39nGcUY

🧠 Which brain cell types are connected, and what do those connections look like? 🤔 Recording from multiple live neurons simultaneously — our researchers mapped thousands of cortical connections to find out. 🧵 1 alleninstitute.org/what-we-do/bra…

This @nytimes article cites a recent air pollution study out of @ucdavis from PTX faculty member Dr. Pamela Lein and PTX alum Kelley Patten @kelpatten. Congratulations @lein_lab_ucd! We're very proud! nytimes.com/2022/02/23/wel…

@LauraVW_UCD @PTXatUCD Aw, thanks Laura!

Such an honor to have our work on air pollution and Alzheimer’s chosen as one of the Editor’s choice papers from 2021! Thanks @EHPonline! And congrats to the rest of this phenomenal team @UCDavisAQRC @lein_lab_ucd @UCDavisEHSC ehp.niehs.nih.gov/curated-collec…

A historic moment in the world of molecular structural research. #AlphaFold structure predictions for 22 species made freely available by @deepmind, access through @uniprot and @PDBeurope. Learn more at insideuniprot.blogspot.com

Immune protein's role in the brain: @VilledaLab &co identify a non-canonical role for the classical MHC class I molecule H2-Kb as a negative regulator of neural stem & progenitor cell proliferation, independent of its immune system function #PLOSBiology plos.io/2UPwrYb

@LauraVW_UCD @PTXatUCD @UCDATEHS1 Thanks Laura! Congrats to all

Our new study in @EHPonline is out! We showed that chronic exposure to air pollution within regulatory limits exacerbates and accelerates Alzheimer’s phenotypes in rats

We're about to hit the lowest death rate in the US for the pandemic

Why are slaughterhouses overrepresented among superspreader events? It turns out they have interesting, idiosyncratic ventilation set-ups. (1) they're cold places, so they're very well sealed to keep heating costs down...

On behalf of the entire #COVaRiPAD team, we are thrilled to announce our preprint reporting humoral responses after BOTH doses of mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vax in 133 pts w/ chronic inflammatory diseases (CID) and 53 immunocompetent controls: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…. 1/

Selective removal of astrocytic APOE4 strongly protects against tau-mediated neurodegeneration and decreases synaptic phagocytosis by microglia cell.com/neuron/fulltex… Congrats to Chao Wang and all our colleagues showing a key role for astroctye-derived apoE4 in degeneration

Accounting for sex as a biological variable (#SABV) is key to better science & better health for all. Since its implementation in 2016, the @NIH SABV policy has resulted in more rigorous science & more complete & reproducible research data.

I’m super excited to share what I’ve been working on for the last three years: a new deep learning algorithm to accurately identify cells in imaging data! Our method works across image platforms, tissue types, and species with no fine-tuning required. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great piece on the origins of #EnvironmentalJustice! Thanks @paigebierma for sending this our way. @Greenaction4EJ @CCEJN @jklondon_ucd nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar… via @NatGeo

Super excited to release this animation showing how SARS-CoV-2 gets into cells. The video below shows just a small segment of the full animation. To get to a link to see the entire thing and to read more about the project, go to animationlab.utah.edu/cova
