Mashup Score: 0How To Choose a Good Scientific Problem - 7 hour(s) ago
Choosing good problems is essential for being a good scientist. But what is a good problem, and how do you choose one? The subject is not usually discussed explicitly within our profession. Scientists are expected to be smart enough to figure it out on their own and through the observation of their teachers. This lack of explicit discussion leaves a vacuum that can lead to approaches such as choosing problems that can give results that merit publication in valued journals, resulting in a job and tenure.

Mashup Score: 19Molecular Therapy - 9 hour(s) ago
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as promising vehicles for delivering therapeutic payloads for cell and gene therapy. They offer several advantages, such as biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and the ability to encapsulate a wide range of cargoes, including small molecules, nucleic acids, and proteins. From the development of mRNA vaccines to the targeted delivery of gene editing tools and RNA interference therapeutics, LNPs are driving transformative breakthroughs in treating a myriad of

Mashup Score: 68Interoception and gut–brain communication - 10 hour(s) ago
The brain senses changes to the internal state of the body, eliciting responses that maintain homeostasis. Alhadeff and Yapici provide an overview of this process, termed interoception, with a particular focus on the gut–brain axis.

Mashup Score: 15Generation of innervated cochlear organoid recapitulates early development of auditory unit - 12 hour(s) ago
Xia et al. report the generation of innervated cochlear organoids with functional synapses in a staging 3D system. The organoid HCs closely recapitulate the developmental pattern of cochlear HCs in vivo, according to a series of morphological, genetic, and electrophysiological evaluations. The study provides a platform for deciphering cochlear development and modeling sensorineural hearing loss.

Mashup Score: 6Low and differential polygenic score generalizability among African populations due largely to genetic diversity - 1 day(s) ago
Majara et al. show that polygenic scores generalize variably across diverse populations due to genetic differences between target and discovery cohorts. Multi-ancestry discovery GWAS typically improve prediction accuracy in underrepresented populations more than an increase in the European sample size, but not necessarily when sample sizes are imbalanced.

Mashup Score: 7An efficient EPR spin-labeling method enables insights into conformational changes in DNA - 2 day(s) ago
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is a powerful tool for elucidating both static and dynamic conformational alterations in macromolecules. However, to effectively utilize EPR for such investigations, the presence of paramagnetic centers, known as spin labels, is required. The process of spin labeling, particularly for nucleotides, typically demands intricate organic synthesis techniques. In this study, we introduce a unique addition-elimination reaction method with a simple spin-labeling process, facilitating the monitoring of structural changes within nucleotide sequences.

Innate immune cells that are epigenetically reprogrammed by infection can modify host responses to subsequent infections. Lercher et al. have identified epigenetic reprogramming of murine airway-resident macrophages following recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection, conferring protection from pathology and lethality following secondary influenza A virus (IAV) challenge without reducing viral titers.
