Demodex mites live in your facial pores and have lost some of the genes that respond to daylight. They cannot make their own melatonin, so they use the melatonin your skin releases at night as a cue to crawl out and mate on your face.
You're never truly alone. ❤️

Malpighia spp. are well known (among field botanists) for having T-shaped trichomes (hairs) with long, lateral arms like slender glass needles. The hairs, like fiberglass fragments, are extremely irritating to the skin. See the hairs on this M. incana? #Malpighiaceae #trichome #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

They write: #AI promises rapid and polite review on papers
BUT also that:
"LLMs can provide feedback in seconds, potentially without conflicts of interest. But there is a big difference between a process that is efficient and one that is valid." ⚒️ 🧪

Quite a big #earthquake in South Spain one hour ago, but also relatively deep and therefore not as intense even at the epicenter. ⚒️🧪 #terremoto

Politicians and business leaders often praise new technologies as engines of growth.
But how does the wider public really feel about these changes?
We surveyed 25,000 people across 25 countries.
I’ll share key results from this truly global study next week.

The bacterial #SOSresponse unfolds in a defined temporal order, but how does this arise? @adityakamat.bsky.social @anjbadri.bsky.social &co show that intrinsic #promoter strength, modulated by #SigmaFactor usage, governs timing of SOS gene activation in Caulobacter @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4oAKf0Q
![Comparative analysis of the Caulobacter SOS response under mitomycin-C damage. Top left: Schematic summarizing the RNA-sequencing experiment. Caulobacter cells were treated with 0.25 μg/ml mitomycin-C for 20 and 40 min (Created in BioRender). Samples were collected for transcriptomic analysis before (0 min, control), and at 20 and 40 min post damage induction. Top right: Venn diagram representing the genes that meet the listed criteria: 1. Genes induced in wild type cells under MMC damage at 40 min (white circle). 2. Genes induced in ΔlexA in the absence of damage (blue circle). 3. Genes not induced in ΔrecA background under MMC damage at 40 min (gray circle). Genes fulfilling all three criteria are in the gray circle. Number of genes in each category is indicated. Bottom left: Bar graph indicating whether promoters of the shortlisted genes exhibit binding by the LexA protein as assessed from ChIP-seq analysis [10]. Bottom right: LexA ChIP-seq profile for genes belonging to the SOS response. Normalized reads (in rpm) are represented for 500 bp upstream and downstream of the gene CDS.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5522ztebtekoor5efelihqhb/bafkreigerw7qsbl4br367qyqg3mouvx3va6s7f3pcqugpf2m24adc3wa6y@jpeg)

Brussels sprouts and Finnish lanttulaatikko feature in day 5 of #ChemAdvent. Their chemical connection is glucosinolates, bitter compounds in sprouts and swedes.
Genetic variations in people affect the perception of this bitterness – so if you're not a sprouts fan, that could be why!

Hubble went back to observe interstellar comet #3I/ATLAS on 30 November. At the time, the comet was about 286 million kilometres from Earth 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
Hubble tracked the comet as it moved across the sky. That's why background stars appear as streaks of light. 🔭 🧪
