Wonderful thread about polio virus, the vaccines, and why we need to keep vaccinating.

This is fascinating! Congrats @brunetlab.bsky.social & colleagues! Cool findings on vascular/pericyte & meningeal/perivascular fibroblast cell types - important to exercise to keep those 🧠 blood vessels young and functional 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♂️...but also what are the fibroblasts up to?!? 👀 🧪 #BBB #fibroblast

Multi‐Organ Spread and Intra‐Host Diversity of SARS‐CoV‐2 Support Viral Persistence, Adaptation, and a Mechanism That Increases Evolvability Intra-host diversity is an intricate phenomenon related to immune evasion, antiviral resistance, and evolutionary leaps along transmission chains. SARS-CoV-2 intra-host variation has been well-eviden....

Autopsies of 15 COVID-19 cases showed SARS-CoV-2 in multiple organs (lungs, heart, liver, etc.) even in non-immunocompromised individuals.

The virus mutated differently in each organ, supporting theories of viral reservoirs and rapid evolution.

A ‘Second Tree of Life’ Could Wreak Havoc, Scientists Warn (Gift Article) Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.

Over 30 prominent scientists call for a ban on the creation of a "mirror cell"--a microbe made of molecules that are mirror images of their natural forms. It could cause a mind-boggling global disaster. Here's my story [gift link] 🧪https://nyti.ms/3OUCXp6

Genome Informatics in the Age of AI With Ben Busby, DNAnexus Today we begin a new series co-produced with GenomeWeb on the state of genome informatics. To do that, we’re joined by Ben Busby, principal scientist at DNAnexus.

Re-reposting @scottehensley.bsky.social post, since this is the same mutation identified in the recent paper in Science from my colleagues at @scripps.edu.

As always, nature gets there first. The more chances we give the virus, the more chances it'll hit goal...
