Brand New #FITdb (fitdb.lji.org) tool now LIVE! Do you have a list of genes? You can use "Compare My Geneset" to test if these are overly-represented among functional regulators of T cells across more than 60 conditions! @lji.org supported and developed by Kevin Kim, Xinjian Cen and Harrison Ma.

Excited to share that our paper on mitochondrial cardiolipin dynamics is published in @natcomms.nature.com today! We provide molecular explanations for unique aspects of mitochondrial morphology and the mechanisms underlying cardiolipin-related Barth Syndrome.

Cardiolipin dynamics promote membrane remodeling by mitochondrial OPA1 - Nature Communications
This study reveals how cardiolipin governs mitochondrial morphology by modulating the activity of human OPA1 and how its replacement by monolyso-cardiolipin, as observed in Barth syndrome, impacts mitochondrial membrane-shaping mechanisms.

Happy to announce the publication using advanced models to understand how T cells mediate efficient immunoediting in early sarcomas.

This was a collaboration between Julie Cheung and Brian Hunt
in the lab

Thanks to Cancer Cell for publishing our work.

Distinct T cell functions enable efficient immunoediting and prevent tumor emergence of developing sarcomas
Cheung et al. describe efficient T cell control of nascent neoantigen+ and nearby neoantigen-negative sarcoma cells, underlying a ∼50% reduction in tumor penetrance. This otherwise imperceptible immun...

Important well-explained summary: “NIH has awarded nearly 3,000 fewer research project grants than it did the previous year”.
NIH pulled off a ‘near miracle.’ Scientists say there’s still a problem.
The National Institutes of Health is on track to give away all of its grant money to labs, but research on cancer, aging and diabetes is still being left behind.

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper?

A federal judge in Boston said she found it "difficult to conclude anything other than that [the Trump administration] used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country's premier universities, and did so in a way that runs afoul of [federal law]."
Trump administration illegally froze billions in Harvard funds, judge rules
The ruling is a legal victory for Harvard but the White House says it will appeal the decision.

Current and former members of the NIH community have valuable personal perspectives to share about the devastation that is happening to US biomedical research, our federal agencies, and our democracy. This starter pack is a great way to hear what they have to say and what you can do about it.
