CRISPRi-ART enables functional genomics of diverse bacteriophages using RNA-binding dCas13d - Nature Microbiology
Leveraging RNA-targeting dCas13d enables selective interference with phage protein translation and facilitates measurement of phage gene fitness at a transcriptome-wide scale.

58 measles cases on Tuesday is now more than 90.
Measles is THE most contagious illness.
A infected person can infect 18 others with one exposure.
Virus can survive for hours in air.
The vaccine is 99% effective, but low vaccine rates allow virus to spread.
This was preventable.

Measles is not a harmless illness — complications include brain damage, immune amnesia, and death
Vaccine disinformation & wellness profiteering is driving preventable outbreaks of this deadly disease.

Brainwide silencing of prion protein by AAV-mediated delivery of an engineered compact epigenetic editor
Prion disease is caused by misfolding of the prion protein (PrP) into pathogenic self-propagating conformations, leading to rapid-onset dementia and death. However, elimination of endogenous PrP halts...

RFK Jr & his kids are vaccinated.
Because he knows vaccines are safe & effective.
Yet he makes millions of dollars causing preventable illness & death by telling other people vaccines are harmful.

The recent “vaccination & autism study” does NOT show that vaccines cause autism.
In fact, it doesn’t show anything. It’s a “study” funded by an anti-vaccine activist group.
This is nothing more than an attempt to undermine MILLIONS of data points across decades from countries globally.

The vaccine PREVENTS infection, it does not eliminate an existing infection.
That’s why vaccination should be done before you're exposed to any of the included strains (these cause the majority of cancers).
That's why ALL KIDS should be vaccinated.

99% of cervical cancers
90% of anal cancers
70% of oropharyngeal cancers
75% of vaginal cancers
70% of vulvar cancers and
60% of penile cancers
Are caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs) that you can prevent through vaccination.

The reality?
HPV vaccines have decades of data to show safety. They prevent HPV infection AND cancers.
There’s a 90% reduction in cervical cancers among women vaccinated before age 17.
Men? 50% reduction of HPV-associated cancers like penile, anal, & head and neck cancers.
