Clonal-aggregative multicellularity tuned by salinity in a choanoflagellate - Nature The choanoflagellate Choanoeca flexa forms motile and contractile cell monolayers purely clonally, purely aggregatively or through a combination of both processes depending on environmental conditions.

A study in Nature shows that the single-celled form of a tiny, aquatic organism can turn into a multicellular version by three different routes. The discovery adds insight to the possible origins of multicellular life, suggesting a previously unrecognized degree of flexibility. 🧪

An in vitro human vessel model to study Neisseria meningitidis colonization and vascular damages A vessel on a chip microfluidic device recapitulates the main features of meningococcal vascular colonization, providing high time and space microscopy resolution of the infection process in 3D.

Really happy to see this paper come out! It's so long ago we started this that no one can remember the date...Congrats to all Contributors. A vessel on a chip model to study bacterial infections in the circulation, sepsis, meningitis. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics.

At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me.

L’Inserm est très concerné par le sort de la science et des scientifiques aux Etats-Unis, ayant des relations étroites historiques avec de nombreuses institutions scientifiques américaines et en particulier le NIH et des programmes scientifiques communs.

Plus largement l’Inserm est solidaire du mouvement Stand Up For Science et est solidaire de tous les scientifiques exerçant aux États-Unis, où la liberté académique est aujourd’hui mise à l’épreuve.

L’Institut souhaite rappeler l’importance de la science et du progrès dans le monde actuel, où nous sommes confrontés à de nombreux enjeux de société et de nombreuses crises.

Science must not be damaged, as it takes too long to repair.
