1) By legislating a ban on Gain of Function Research (GOFR) in Florida, what are you advocating and promoting with regard to #biomedical research really DeSantis? #science
2) Are you legislating that only medical research in the state of Florida will be farther removed alternatives such as single-protein or replication-incompetent virus in vitro studies, in silico modeling,…
3) or further removed long-term genetic sequence comparison of samples collected from patients are under increasingly intense investigation to replace GOFR? #biomedical #research
1/14 #Men and #women experience disease differently. This is reminiscent of #SyndromeX and other chronic disease like #MECFS, #slow #virus manifestations, and even #LongCovid and post-acute sequelae of #SARSCoV2.

3/14 "The researchers believe more should be done to take this into account when treating #diseases."
A team of marine biologists led by Scripps Oceanography's Amro Hamdoun (@Hamdounlab) has created lines of sea urchins — the marine equivalent of lab rats — that can be used as genetic models using the gene editing technology known as #CRISPR.

Described in a new paper out today in @Dev_journal, the genetic makeup of the #SeaUrchins is fully mapped and can be edited to study human disease genes. The creation of these new research model organisms will accelerate the pace of marine #biomedical research.
Having this new “genetically enabled” sea urchin could dramatically enhance the efficiency, reproducibility, and utility of studies of the developmental origins of diseases.

Nonprofits attempt to fill this gap with some success, but philanthropy can only go so far.
There is little incentive to donate when donors do not have control of how their money is used...

...or have any chance of financial benefit should the projects they fund become successful.
As a result, philanthropic donations are almost always limited to a very small portion of the donor’s wealth.

While anyone can donate to a #nonprofit, private equity is a game for large investors only.
Only very recently have groups like @kickstarter emerged to allow small players to play a role in a technology’s early days.

I am #grateful for the opportunity given by #IWS_Network to share my story, struggles and success in the voices without frontiers (VWF).
My name is Betelhem, most people call me Betty and I prefer it that way. I was born 27 years ago to a young couple in AddisAbeba, the capital of #Ethiopia. #IWSVoices 1/n
My mom and me rather look like sisters. Despite being a teenager when she got me, she sacrificed her whole life to raise me up. She made sure I had the best #education possible. I am forever grateful to my mom sis & do everything to make her and God #proud. #IWSVoices 2/n

Obstructions of the ureter can be caused by a number of factors and affect the physiological flow of urine from kidney to bladder. To overcome this issue, ureteral stents which have side-holes bypassing urine from ureter to stent and viceversa, are clinically implanted. 2/7
However, stents are prone to complications leading to infection. We employed microfluidics to mimic flow dynamics in ureteral stents in different obstruction (obs) conditions: 1) unobstructed 2) obs at proximal side-hole 3) obs in between side-holes 4) obs next to side-hole. 3/7
Thread. Medical Hysteria and #InternationalWomensDay
In 1882, Anna O is considered 'patient zero' for the diagnosis of "Hysteria"
#Hysteria was originally a diagnosis only given to women
Anna O fell ill in 1880 after her father died, possibly of Tuberculosis

#IIMEC13 - I've spent a week in London helping out at the @Invest_in_ME conference.
This was it's 13th conference, and it's grown from a small meeting to a whole week of talks from researchers/scientists in different stages of their careers... 1/7

#IIMEC13 - There's been a lot of science. A lot of talking. There's been scientists from different #biomedical fields offering their expertise.
The dedication/determination from researchers was very clear throughout.
For some reason, #MEcfs is political minefield... 2/7
