Dataset Artefacts are the Hidden Drivers of the Declining Disruptiveness in Science
Park et al. [1] reported a decline in the disruptiveness of scientific and technological knowledge over time. Their main finding is based on the computation of CD indices, a measure of disruption in c...

RNA codon expansion via programmable pseudouridine editing and decoding - Nature
An RNA codon-expansion strategy enables incorporation of non-canonical amino acids into proteins of interest orthogonally to existing methods by inserting pseudouridine codons into specific mRNA transcripts and using an engineered decoder tRNA.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

Congrats to @richardmitchell210.bsky.social for an excellent study leveraging metabolic analysis! This paper shows how photodynamic therapy photosensitizers and photoactivated chemotherapeutics exhibit distinct bioenergetic profiles - now in Chemical Science (a 🧵) pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
Photodynamic therapy photosensitizers and photoactivated chemotherapeutics exhibit distinct bioenergetic profiles to impact ATP metabolism
Energy is essential for all life, and mammalian cells generate and store energy in the form of ATP by mitochondrial (oxidative phosphorylation) and non-mitochondrial (glycolysis) metabolism. These pro...
