Has anyone compiled a list of all the organ systems we have evidence that COVID damages?
I’m essentially looking for something to give my (evidence curious) friends to tell them why it’s SO crucial to avoid getting COVID.

@hsalis Could be fun but its yet another platform and also ample trolls on reddit too. Culture there is...weird

Hey Synbio folks. Any interest in migrating over to Reddit? I'm tired of this place. The char limit is annoying. The trolls are bad company. And there's no back & forth conversation so what's the point?

@DrLutzBoehm @MonsterEnergyDE Die wichtigere Frage ist doch: Darf ich mit dem Wasser einen Autoklaven betreiben?

Fucking finally. That took waayyyy too long

Mit dem heutigen Tag endet meine Tätigkeit als Bundesministerin für Bildung und Forschung. Die Arbeit war fordernd, aber auch zutiefst erfüllend. Ich empfinde es als große Ehre und Privileg, dass ich dieses besondere Amt nahezu drei Jahre lang ausüben durfte.

First a digitized scent.
Then, a paper in Nature shows how odorant receptors can be engineered to figure out how slightly different structures can recognize very distinct molecules.
This is the start of something big. I can...smell it.

Well, we actually did it. We digitized scent. A fresh summer plum was the first fruit and scent to be fully digitized and reprinted with no human intervention. It smells great. Holy moly, I’m still processing the magnitude of what we’ve done. And yet, it feels like as we cross this finish line we are instantly at a new starting line. I’ll have more to share about what’s in store that we’re building on top of this. A huge HUGE congrats to the entire team across scientific, engineering, operational, and creative disciplines. It takes a village named Osmo to do this. I don’t know if this is embarrassing, but I carry the plum scent with me a lot of places and smell it constantly. It makes me smile. I’m curious, if y’all want to smell it? If we made a limited release fragrance of the first teleported scent and dedicated the proceeds to science, would you want it?

A couple years ago, I wrote that plant synthetic biology is ~15 years behind microbial efforts. But now, the gap seems to be closing.
For a new paper, researchers used integrases to record gene expression events in Arabidopsis, with single-cell resolution, to study how these plants develop from seed to maturity.
This isn't the first paper to report a "memory switch" for plants (that happened back in 2020), but this paper does take it quite a bit further.
The authors use two different integrases to track two different genes involved in lateral root development, called AHP6 and GATA23. The integrases enable them to figure out which gene turns on FIRST, and in which cells. They also did a similar experiment to study stomatal development.
The integrases can trigger four different states: In state 0, cells express a blue fluorescent protein; this indicates that neither of the genes have yet been expressed.
Now, if gene #1 is activated, one of the integrases switches on and makes the cells glow red. If the second gene is activated AFTER this event, then the second integrase also switches on and the cells glow green.
If gene #2 is expressed before gene #1, however, the integrase instead makes an excision in the genome and the cells don't glow at all.
By looking at how various cells in the plant glow, in different colors, scientists are able to figure out which genes are turned on which order. Cool stuff. I'm sure this can be scaled up, and more integrases can be added, to study even more genes in parallel.
