The epitranscriptome formed by the growing number of modifications occurring within mRNA transcripts.

We have been mapping mRNA modifications for over a decade.

=> Characterizing their functions -- especially on translation -- is a research frontier.

I don't think scientists should work for anyone else. They should work for discovery and for their own curiosity.

📣 This month, we invite 5 #KnowledgeValorisation experts to voice the value of #FundamentalResearch for #EUcompetitiveness

3️⃣ Karel Lacina, from #ACTOSens in Czech Republic ⬇️
"Fundamental Research was the starting point of our journey at ACTOSens. Without years of studying molecular interactions in academic labs, we would not have developed our biosensor platform for STI diagnostics. It was basic science that allowed us to see what others missed – and turn it into a practical, life-improving technology," said Karel Lacina, Founder & CEO, ACTOSens (Czech Republic)

Until our crystal ball can tell us exactly what we'll discover before we start looking, we always need to remain open to curiosity-driven research opportunities and to the value of improving our fundamental understanding of the body, diseases, potential treatments and society.

The research sector stands united: the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions must stay bottom-up. No political direction — MSCA already delivers on Europe’s priorities! 👇
eu-life.bsky.social EU-LIFE @eu-life.bsky.social · Jun 24
EU-LIFE, @coimbragroup.bsky.social, @yerunnetwork.bsky.social & many EU research organisations urge EU to keep #MSCA 's bottom-up approach.

MSCA’s success lies in its openness to all fields & topics. Thematic restrictions would stifle innovation & limit researchers' opportunities.

I wrote a new piece on how much progress has been made in treating childhood leukemia.

The answer is: quite a lot!

Before the 1970s, fewer than 10% of children diagnosed survived 5 years after diagnosis.

Now most are cured and around 85% survive that long.
ourworldindata.org/childhood-le...
Two charts present survival rates for childhood leukemia over time, specifically focusing on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). In the top panel, for ALL, a series of curved lines represent overall survival rates plotted against years since diagnosis. The lines show a marked increase in survival rates from the late 1960s, when only 14% of children survived more than five years post-diagnosis, to around 94% in the 2010s. Key intervals are labeled, with different colors indicating different periods of diagnosis, ranging from 1972-1975 to 2010-2015. The bottom panel illustrates survival rates for AML, which are consistently lower overall compared to ALL. Like the top graph, it features several colored lines indicating specific periods. The highest point noted indicates a survival rate of 65%. The graph captures trends in survival as well, showing gradual improvement over time, from 1975-1977 up to 2011-2017. Data sources for these visualizations are cited at the bottom: Mignon Loh et al. (2023) for ALL and Todd M Cooper et al. (2023) for AML, both from the Children's Oncology Group.
