On the cover, lipid nanoparticles targeting the lung, designed using neural networks. A method developed by Witten et al. identified two structures that efficiently delivered mRNA to ferret lungs go.nature.com/4fbj0VU
Vaccines save lives, pass it on.
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout.
They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jrβs attack on the agencyβs science base.

I was gonna chime in here but Zakroff ππ»said everything I would have π
Only thing I would add is you could use your art skills to dress up your resume. It doesnβt have to be black text on a white bkg
mRNA chaperones huh? RNA World anyone�

Brightly labelled pyramidal cells in the mouse retrosplenial cortex. Blood vessels are visible of various thicknesses in darker colours.
#neuroskyence folks: as my postdoc grant is running out soon, I am looking for new opportunities in systems neuroscience!
Keywords: patch clamp ephys, opto, mouse behavior, (in vivo) voltage imaging. Would love to return to the Basal Ganglia.
Sharing appreciated, and happy #FluorescenceFriday !
To be clear, COVID-19 vaccination - as well as other critical vaccinations - should be recommended for pregnant people.
Full stop.
Gotta love that spell-check and LLMs are on the same level for sci lit π
Checked that thing every damn day until it shut down. Sad that itβs back for something so stupid

Everyone please read and act! π
Happy Friday. Nothing to see here π€¦ββοΈ #vaccineswork #supportscience #handsoff

A nonsensical threat to:
One of the most important advances in biotechnology of our time, already being used to successfully treat refractory cancers, enable genome editing, develop vaccines for infectious diseases for which there are none, treat autoimmune diseases, and more.
Iβm thankful for my PhD just so I can understand the first sentence of your post π Really great work! ππ» #RNA
Weird. Itβs like we paid for a bunch of research and it didβ¦ stuff. Neat

#PubMed has been down for some people and currently appears broken, or inaccessible. Smarter people than I can speculate on what's going on, but my worry is particular research being targeted for deletion from the database. All of us whose research can be found via PubMed must backup publications.
Looks like parts are accessible directly (BLAST for example) but canβt directly access the home pages for NIH or NCBI. Expasy better add some server capacityβ¦
#Lipids - also a taxi for #RNA π
#RNAsky #LNP
Glad to see this published. We saw an uptick in interest in some of these reagents after the #preprint hit. Itβs a good study and an important potential addition to the #genetic #therapy toolbox

Wow. Incredible work
SO much going on w this rn. mRNA isnβt going anywhere but circRNA is heating up!
To anyone in the #science community concerned about the #spending #freeze, a full list of potentially affected programs is available here: www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
This includes programs within HHS across various arms of #NIH
Day 1 - signs up for Bluesky to have non-political conversations about #science
Day 2 -
ALSO Day 1 - federal funding for #reaearch in the U.S. gets frozen for political reasons
