New bird flu strain in cattle linked to severe human infections. Just a matter of time before mutations enable transmission to and between humans. We will need a strong public health service in place to protect all of us.

‘Dark proteins’ (microproteins) hiding in our cells could hold clues to cancer and other diseases. Ribosomes churn out out proteins encoded by known genes as well as thousands of ‘dark proteins’ not mapping to genes.

Anti-smoking spending: #Maine leads nation in applying tobacco settlement money (107%), while #Texas leads bottom of the pack at 3.6%. Tobacco use is the single greatest cause of preventable death worldwide and thus a great #MAHA initiative. #axiosvitals

A very clever way to trick the immune system into attacking tumours. Newcastle disease viruses are engineered to encode α 1,3-galactotransferase which decorates cells with "pig" sugars — the very ones that provoke a rejection of pig-organ transplants.
