@jcb.org: Duque et al show that a core membrane atg8ylation & #autophagy factor ATG16L1 controls proton V-ATPase under homeostatic conditions, ensuring normo-acidification, preservation of cellular energy charge & function, & defense against #tuberculosis in murine models rupress.org/jcb/article/...

We urge all leaders, for the good of their nations’ health, not to ignore or contradict advice that is supported by a consensus of evidence from research.

Vaccines save lives. Leaders must champion them

Attacks on vaccines and the cancellation of research into what causes vaccine hesitancy puts people in harm’s way.

The Editors-in-Chief of the 5 @biologists.bsky.social journals have written a joint Editorial, discussing the enormous challenges currently facing researchers in the US and how members of the community can support them through this difficult time.
journals.biologists.com/jcs/issue/13...

Screenshot of the first page of the Editorial, 'Science under siege: protecting scientific progress in turbulent times', written by James Briscoe, Craig Franklin, Daniel Gorelick. Elizabeth Patton and Michael Way. The publication information in the top line says, '© 2025. Published by The Company of Biologists | Journal of Cell Science (2025) 138, jcs263970. doi:10.1242/jcs.263970. The first paragraph of the article says, 'As Editors-in-Chief of The Company of Biologists’ journals, we have been watching with growing concern the policy changes in the United States of America (USA) and the challenges that these are creating. It is unusual for us to comment on a nation’s science policies or politics, but the rapid ongoing developments in the USA and their potential impact on research worldwide are beyond the usual.'
