🔍 Rätsel gelöst 🎉: Ein #CharitéBerlin-Team hat herausgefunden, wie es Zellen gelingt, mit eigentlich schädlichen überzähligen Chromosomen umzugehen.
Der bisher unbekannte Mechanismus könnte Angriffspunkte gegen therapieresistente #Tumoren und #Pilzinfektionen liefern. Die grundlegenden Erkenntnisse sind jetzt in #Nature veröffentlicht.
#WorldBeeDay 🐝 From pesticide detox to increased longevity, the benefits of the sweet stuff go well beyond simply nourishing the hardworking insects in the hive.
Though studies are still mixed, and products often inconsistent, many scientists have hope that cannabidiol can help canines and other furry patients suffering from arthritis, allergies and anxiety.

It's the second mass bleaching event to spread
across the globe in the last 10 years
And the worst one on record for the Great Barrier Reef. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi9uFA3-cDE
Today, learn about coral bleaching and the one billion lives that will continue to be deeply negatively affected by these events
with increasing frequency
in the coming years.
It covers everything from the history of scicomm to press releases, #SocialMedia, #science shows, risk communication, engaging with policy makers, language, you name it... Highly recommended!
Some make nests inside seashells, others tote bubbles of air on their backs. The spiders that went back to water evolved lots of slick survival strategies.
This year, there will be a nova, before or by September, as bright as the North Star.
After peak brightness it will remain bright enough, for several days, to observe with binoculars.
You can help research scientists with observational details.
[1/2] Surprising findings in brain research 🧠: As a team from #CharitéBerlin shows in #Science, thoughts in the human neocortex flow in one direction ⬆️, as opposed to the loops seen in mice 🔄. That makes processing information extra efficient. These discoveries could further the development of artificial neural networks.
Today, learn about the 32 U.S coastal cities, affecting up to 500,000 people, that are at an increased risk of experiencing one or more major flooding events in the next twenty years, due to land subsidence and sea-level rise. https://news.vt.edu/articles/2024/01/research-sinkingcoasts.html
Spoiler: surgical infections mostly come from patients' own microbiomes (and article is not about covid).
This makes me wonder about people with eczema, which is related to higher-than-usual staph bacteria levels on the skin. Do eczema patients have commensurately higher rates of surgical infections?
I'm curious if any medical or science people here have insight on that.
#Kortison dämpft das Immunsystem sehr effektiv – aber wie schafft es das?
Ein Team der #CharitéBerlin & der @FAU zeigt jetzt @Nature, dass Kortison den Stoffwechsel von Immunzellen umprogrammiert und so eine körpereigene Entzündungsbremse betätigt. Auf Basis der Erkenntnisse wollen die Forschenden nun nebenwirkungsärmere Entzündungshemmer entwickeln.
