new #preprint, @OSFramework , happy to have this out the door, been working on it for a while.
"Darwin’s Agential Materials: evolutionary implications of multi-scale competency in developmental biology"
osf.io/p23se/

In prior papers, I argued for morphogenesis as a kind of collective intelligence navigating anatomical morphospace with various competencies. I proposed a few ways in which evolution scales up from single cells' tiny goals to agents with larger goals (e.g., specific target

morphologies). Here, I ponder the flip side of the intelligence-evolution feedback loop: what does the competency of the morphogenetic layer mean for the evolutionary process itself? What might be the ways in which evolution works over an agential material? Check out the

🚨🚨I'm proud to present our lab's first peer-reviewed paper, out at @cellhostmicrobe🥳. We started out by asking a basic question about mucus secretion, and discovered something surprising about genetic risk to inflammatory bowel diseases (#IBD). A🧵/1
cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Every cell that secretes something needs to have some kind of control over how much it secretes. We asked how goblet cells in the intestine "know" how much mucus they need to secrete. I wrote about it here when we published our #preprint 👇🏻. /2

https://twitter.com/Mucus_Man/status/1530877941638479872?s=20&t=Hhf9XRWDy2UR3g_Vg846Vw

We found that ER stress is the cell-intrinsic switch that tells the goblet cell when to stop producing mucus, and that autophagy is tasked with relieving this stress to allow secretion. /3

New #preprint alert! What are the core symbionts of lichens? TLDR: we analyzed >400 lichen metagenomes from around the world and found that 4 bacterial groups are as frequent in lichens as the alga, one of the two main partners in the symbiosis. 🧵1/11 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We aimed to create a global census of lichen-associated organisms based on shotgun metagenomics, and independent from biases associated with culturing and PCR amplification. We used nearly every publicly available lichen metagenome plus de novo data 2/11

Originally, we expected lichen bacteria to be a more or less random ‘soup’ of Proteobacteria. But we were wrong. In reality, the majority of lichen bacteria came from just four families. What’s more, a single bacterial * genus * occurred in ~1/3 of all lichens sampled 3/11

Covid-19感染は心血管系の予後不良および死亡と関連する

Covid-19 Infection Linked With Poor Cardiovascular Outcomes And Death via @Forbes forbes.com/sites/williamh…

英国の新しい研究により、Covid-19に感染すると、心血管系の健康状態の悪化や死亡のリスクが増加することが示された。このリスクは、感染後30日以内と入院が必要な感染者の間で最も高いが、重度の感染を経験しなかった人々にもリスクは高いままである。
forbes.com/sites/williamh…

ウイルスに感染していない対照群と比較すると、Covid-19に感染した人は静脈に血栓ができる可能性が3倍高く、何らかの原因で死亡する可能性も10倍以上あった。

@PathLAKE_CoE @jnkath @AI4Pathology @NormanZerbe @anantm @mitkoveta @olkazuraw @GuillaumeJaume @pushpak_pati @jana_lipkova @nadeem_lab [2/5] Our approach, named #IGUANA, uses #pathologist-derived #interpretable features within a geometric learning framework to categorise biopsies as normal or abnormal (containing both non-neoplastic and neoplastic conditions).

[3/5] IGUANA achieves 0.98 AUC-ROC on an internal cohort and 0.97 AUC-ROC on three external cohorts. Our analysis shows that at a high sensitivity threshold of 99%, the proposed model can, on average, reduce the number of normal slides to be reviewed by a pathologist by 55%.

Jan Bonte “Neuroloog” @the_stinging heeft een column: Vraag het Marion. De inhoud toont dat je idd 1000 x beter bij @MarionKoopmans te rade kunt gaan dan bij Jan. Zijn laatste bijdrage is gewauwel over de #Lableak theorie. Tijd om dit eens onderuit te halen… #debunk 🧵. 1/19

Hij begint met de claim dat aanhangers van de #zoönose en #lableak theorie recht tegenover elkaar staan. Dat kan zo zijn maar dan staan er 1000 mensen links en 2 mensen rechts (Jan telt tenslotte voor 2 #cholesterolbol) 2/19

Daarbij dropt hij direct een verdachtmaking. De wetenschap zou bang zijn dat Gain of Function (GoF) onderzoeken worden gestaakt als het toch een #lableak was en daarom zijn ze zo fel. Ik zeg verdachtmaking want er is hiervoor geen enkel bewijs. 3/19

We transcriptionally profiled the unique bdmute phenotype–viable but no stomatal subsidiary cells (SCs)–to identify genes associated with SC formation -> 4th most downregulated gene = BdPOLAR!! /2

CRISPRed bdpolar mutants showed defective SC divisions, much like classical polarity mutants that affect subsidiary mother cell (SMC) polarity factors like PANGLOSS1 homologs. Indeed, also bdpan1 mutants show this defect and double (polar;pan1) has 80% (!) defective SCs /3

Hey #ACC22 presenters, especially late breaking studies of consequence. If you don't have simultaneous peer-reviewed pub, consider #preprint what you presented so it's archived & accessible. Let’s make it normative. @medrxivpreprint @yaleHFdoc #LBCT @EricTopol @CMichaelGibson

@medrxivpreprint

@medrxivpreprint @yaleHFdoc @EricTopol @CMichaelGibson For all #ACC22 presenters, preprinting is easy; we accept scientific studies, screen rapidly, post quickly. Non-profit. It is of the community-available throughout the world, understood as pre-peer reviewed, and citable. Almost all reputable journals are fine with it, incl @NEJM.

@medrxivpreprint @yaleHFdoc @EricTopol @CMichaelGibson @NEJM In the pandemic @medrxivpreprint stimulated discussions about research in progress, & many examples of advancing research. Cardiology has not yet fully embraced it, yet is this work any less important? All fields should accelerate public scientific communication & #openscience.

📣#Preprint #COVID19 #ConvalescentPlasma
📌RCT (N=1.2K)
📌Outpatients age 18+
📌High-titer CCP (>1:320) vs placebo plasma w/in 9d of symptoms
📌Primary endpt: Hosp/death by d28
📌CCP 🏆: 54% ⬇️, driven by non-ICU hospitalizations (NNT=29); HR 0.46, p<.01

2/ A few important points about this #COVID19 #convalescentplasma trial
📌High-titer CCP was much higher than that used in some other studies (median titer of >1:14,580 & 95% had >1:4820)
📌Median days to plasma: 6d
📌53 of 54 hospitalizations were in unvaxxed (#GetVaccinated!)

3/ 📌 Only 3 deaths in post-hosp period, all in controls
📌 Few #COVID19nCancer or #immunocompromised
📌 Study used #convalescent plasma mostly from Apr-Dec 2020 (ie pre-#vaccine availability)
📌Would *predict* CCP from #vaccinated to perform well vs #Omicron & #covidvariants

Do you want a cheap (<$5) but highly accurate #aging biomarker that can be used in large experiments? Read our #preprint on TIME-Seq, a new method for inexpensive and scalable epigenetic age predictions. #clocks #longevity @davidasinclair biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Epigenetic “clocks” based on DNA methylation are the most robust and widely used aging biomarker. However, conventional approaches (methylation chip or RRBS) are hundreds of $$ per sample and low throughput.

We wanted to routinely use epigenetic clocks in large studies for low cost. So, we developed Tagmentation-based Indexing for Methylation Sequencing (TIME-Seq) for scalable and inexpensive targeted methylation sequencing of DNA methylation biomarkers.

Pulmonary #embolism (lung blood clot) was >10 times more common after #SARSCoV2 infection (COVID19; ~15x over background rate), vs after getting #Pfizer's or #AstraZeneca's vaccine (~1.2x> background)

Similar greater risks with COVID-19 for #DVT & #VTE
🧵

2) First of all – as the authors note – in those #vaccinated against COVID-19, "thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, and thrombosis with thrombocytopenia were very rare events."

3) Data from 1.9 Million (M) recipients of AstraZeneca, ~1.7 M of Pfizer, and ~300k COVID-19 cases (few old) – compared with ~2.3 M in the general population.

These cohorts were used to calculate the observed incidence vs. background (SIR) or observed vs. expected # of cases.
