Tuu meille töihin! Jos vain viihdyt dissektiosalilla vähän ronskimmissa kamppeissa kuin nuo kuvituskuvan hahmot. Halutessasi pääset myös tekemään tutkimusta mun kanssa (mutta ei ole pakko :)).

Scientists have created the most detailed maps yet of how our brains differentiate from stem cells during embryonic development and early life

First ever atlas of brain development shows how stem cells turn into neurons
A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for neuroscientists.

Burning the candle at both ends: ROS-mediated telomere damage drives T cell dysfunction
T cells need reactive oxygen species (ROS) for activation and memory formation, yet excessive ROS can drive dysfunction. Rivadeneira et al. show that chronic T cell activation in tumors exposes telomeres to damaging mitochondrial ROS, contributing to T cell dysfunction.

Surprisingly, mouse sperm can locate and swim through the tiny opening in #zebrafish eggs known as the micropyle, suggesting that some mechanisms guiding sperm toward eggs may be shared across distant species.
