🧪 Data from 12,339 people with borderline personality disorder powered the largest GWAS for the condition so far. They mapped 11 associated genomic locations, explaining about 17% of inherited risk. The strongest genetic correlation they found was with PTSD. 🧬💻

In this amazing photo by Máté Menyhárt (CCBY2), you can see the pollen covering the proboscis. That’s why these moths are so important: They are very good at transporting pollen. They’re strong fliers, so they can move pollen over long distances. #pollination #MothWeek #TeamMoth #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Air purification could avert 60 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from wildfire-related fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and 2.2 billion DALYs from all-source PM2.5 globally, according to a study in Nature Health. go.nature.com/3RBf7no #medsky 🌎🧪
This is figure 2, which shows the health benefits of air purifier interventions against PM2.5 exposure under a 5 μg/m3 indoor target.

Axon diameter is important for neuronal conduction speed, but how is it regulated? This study reports a high-resolution imaging-based chemical screening pipeline for a #zebrafish #axon, identifying candidate regulators of axon diameter @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4pufQmL
Top: Confocal microscope image of neurons and axons in the larval zebrafish brain and spinal cord labelled by a fluorescent reporter expressed in neurons with high levels of neurofilaments. Lateral view, head to the right. Image by Dr. Maria Eichel-Vogel. Middle: Schematic illustrating the workflow of the screening pipeline. Bottom: Mauthner neurons and respective domains were imaged in the hindbrain from a dorsal view using the membrane-labeling transgenic line Tg(hspGFF62A:Gal4);Tg(UAS:mem-Scarlet).

Regulation of gene expression in the #parasite #Leishmania is largely post-transcriptional, but how is it controlled? This study shows that modification of tRNAs by #quenosine influences codon-biased translation and contributes to Leishmania virulence @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4bwvAjs
Model illustrating the role of queuosine (Q) tRNA modification in the virulence of L. mexicana. Q-tRNA levels increase significantly during the differentiation from the procyclic promastigotes (insect stage) to the axenic amastigotes (mammalian stage), underscoring the importance of Q-tRNA modification for parasite adaptation and infectivity. Loss of Q modification via LmxTGT2 knockout disrupts codon-biased translational control, leading to substantial changes in the proteome. Specifically, downregulated proteins were enriched in NAU codons decoded by Q-tRNA, while upregulated proteins predominantly contained NAC codons. The resulting codon-specific imbalance impairs the parasite’s ability to establish infection and maintain virulence. These findings demonstrate that Q modification functions as a novel post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism that fine-tunes translation during Leishmania life cycle, compensating for the lack of classical transcriptional control and promoting adaptation to the host environment.

Top left: Overview of Sxl-F function in sex determination in Drosophila melanogaster. Bottom left: Schematic outlining the use of Targeted DamID (TaDa) to test whether splicing factors make transient contacts with chromatin. Top right: Immunolabeled sections of the larval male brain showing Sxl expression (mCD8–GFP, green), the glial marker repo (magenta), and neurons labeled with Elav (blue). Bottom right: Equivalent labeling in adult brain sections. White arrows indicate Sxl-positive cells that colocalise with Elav but not with repo, consistent with neuron-specific expression. Images were captured at 40x magnification; scale bar, 30 µm.

The Sun like you've never heard it before 🎧 We sat down with ESA's Miho Janvier and Nic Bonne from the University of Portsmouth to take a sensory journey to our Sun and discover its secrets. Listen to 🎙️ 'Expendition Sound' whereever you get your podcasts 👉 shorturl.at/bGD5H 🔭 🧪 ☀️
A peak behind the scenes of the interview recording with Miho Janvier, for episode one of the European Space Agency’s podcast series, called ‘Expedition Sound’. It is a cheerful selfie of Miho with the podcast host Zsofi. Both are wearing headphones and have microphones before them. In the background, a roll-up banner is showing the Sun and the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft.
