Very happy to share this review paper, published today in @FEBSJournal. Give it a read if you’re interested in how exercise controls muscle size 💪. Graphical abstract below! Cellular and molecular pathways controlling muscle size in response to exercise febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com…

Bottom line: COVID is harmful to pregnant women. The vaccine is safe for pregnant women. Much like flu, pregnant women should get vaccinated against COVID. (Ignore the daft conspiracy mongers. Stick with the data and science.)

Out today! The @mbrrace report on deaths in pregnancy 2019 - 2021… 👉🏻 Of 241 deaths, 33 caused by COVID-19 👉🏻 None of these were fully vaccinated (one partially vaccinated) even though 27 of them were eligible 👉🏻 No deaths caused by vaccination 1/ npeu.ox.ac.uk/assets/downloa…

Ok this is big. Web of Science just removed the MDPI flagship journal IJERPH from their lists. This means IJERPH has no more an Impact Factor. Why is this big? What are the implications? 🧵

Snf1/AMPK fine-tunes TORC1 signaling in response to glucose starvation

Discovery of new Snf1/AMPK targets in the TORC1 pathway highlights the complex, multilayered crosstalk between major signaling pathways in the regulation of nutrient deprivation sensing.

Barbara McClintock's discoveries on genetics were so far beyond the understanding of the time that other scientists ignored her work for more than a decade. But she trusted her evidence and persisted. Watch the very moment she received the medicine prize in 1983. #NobelPrize

Replying to @StationCDRKelly
I strongly disagree. Forcing your pronouns upon others when they didn’t ask, and implicitly ostracizing those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone. As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo.
