Tattoo ink can accumulate in the lymph nodes, where it can induce a prominent and long-term inflammatory response, according to a study in mice. Tattoo ink at injection sites can also modulate immune responses to vaccines in mice. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/meuU50XCZjN

Imagine training for years or even decades to critically analyze and interpret data and graphs and then just having some program summarize a paper based on whatever the authors have written. Crazy.

In our latest vaccine immunology study we tested whether it is possible to simultaneously prime multiple classes of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV using a combination of germline-targeting (GT) immunogens. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our new review paper about Pathway-Centric PTM Data Analysis is out this week in #Proteomics!
We cover databases, enrichment tools, software for pathway reconstruction, and full-fledged platforms that help to interpret high-throughput PTM datasets.
Check it out here: doi.org/10.1002/pmic...
Computational Approaches for Pathway‐Centric Analysis of Protein Post‐Translational Modifications
Protein function is dynamically modulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs). Many different types of PTMs can nowadays be identified and quantified at a large scale using mass spectrometry. ...

🧪 And House appropriators say: no cuts to NIH budget!

House subcommittee version just came out (link below). Holds NIH flat at $48 billion.

To be clear: this is far from over. But a good sign that science still matters across both sides of aisle.
