On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Scientists globally are racing to save vital health databases taken down amid Trump chaos The mass-archiving effort is in response to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention removing some of its web pages.

@ebi.embl.org:

Many scientists are worried that vital biomedical data housed in U.S. government databases is at risk.

Which aspects of NCBI are mirrored on EMBL-EBI?
Do you plan to back up more U.S. data?

So sorry

Aerobic exercise decreases the number and transcript expression of inflammatory M1 macrophages and CD8+ T cells in the epicardial adipose tissue of female pigs Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) regulates coronary artery function via lipid metabolism and immune cell recruitment. Increased EAT is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), but a...

I am excited to share a pre-print that continues our work on the effects of exercise as opposed to a sedentary lifestyle on the epicardial adipose tissue of females.

So well written and so true. Thanks for sharing.

I really hope this isn’t the case…

Horrific

Our country is hailed worldwide for our technical and scientific ingenuity

But it is federal grants that serve as the engine of innovation.

Pausing scientific grantmaking — by NSF, NIH, and more — is NOT a recipe for American greatness.

Consider reminding your senators & reps of this fact.

Microplastics are everywhere—including inside us. And that's not awesome, given that new research in mice finds they can mess up blood flow in the brain. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Top selling books on Amazon this week…a telling story of our times.

Yes cholesterol rises in association with menopause in women. Mostly LDL though and not total cholesterol. Keep in mind that cholesterol for steroid synthesis is very different from the lipoproteins we measure as “cholesterol” in the lab. Lipoproteins have triglycerides, proteins and cholesterol

This has paused all study sections to review grants. In essence, the main funder of all biomedical research in the country will grind to a hault which will grind life saving biomedical research to a hault.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Single cell and spatial analysis of immune-hot and immune-cold tumours identifies fibroblast subtypes associated with distinct immunological niches and positive immunotherapy response - Molecular Canc...
