Over 1M people contract HIV each year. Daily PrEP can prevent infection, but access & adherence = challenges. Wesley Sundquist’s HIV capsid research helped make Lenacapavir, a 6‑month injectable PrEP, possible. Learn more and attend his lecture at #ASBMB26: www.asbmb.org/asbmb-...#ASBMB26: #MakeItPossible

Wesley Sundquist will speak about the HIV capsid and its role in Lenacapavir during his keynote address at the 2026 ASBMB Annual Meeting, March 7–10, in Maryland. ➡️Check out the program and learn more about his research: www.asbmb.org/annual-meeti.... ☑️Register by Feb. 3 to secure the early rate.

Trilled and humbled to received the 2025 Outstanding Faculty Research Award by Department of Biological Sciences at UNC Charlotte. Thankful to my mentors, collaborators, current/former lab members, friends and family. @emgsus.bsky.social @asbmb.bsky.social

In a recent study in Journal of Lipid Research, scientists used a new imaging approach to map fentanyl’s effects on brain immune cells. Their findings could transform how addiction is assessed and lead to new diagnostic and therapeutic tools: www.asbmb.org/asbmb-.... #ASBMBJournals #JlipidRes

Can't agree with this more strongly – from creating jobs to training our brightest young scientists to laying the foundations for tomorrow's cures & research tools, NIH support for basic research has been the bedrock of U.S. biomedical science. It's too important to jeopardize –

Thank you to the @asbmb.bsky.social for standing up for science and scientists! #ScienceServesUsAll #ASBMBAdvocates

Hello from Capitol Hill, where ASBMB leaders are advocating for science funding! #ScienceServesUsAll #ASBMBAdvocates

As ASBMB leaders meet w/Congress on Capitol Hill today, they are highlighting why NSF’s role is so important in driving innovation. NSF is the only federal agency funding all areas of fundamental science. You can share the impact of science research too: www.asbmb.org/advoca.... #ScienceServesUsAll

268 Nobel Prize winners received support from NSF. Federal investments fuel world-changing science. Help amplify the impact of science: www.asbmb.org/advoca.... #ScienceServesUsAll #ASBMBAdvocates

NIH supported the science behind 354 of 356 approved drugs. Federal research drives medical progress. Help amplify the impact of science: www.asbmb.org/advoca.... #ScienceServesUsAll #ASBMBAdvocates

One of the key messages for tomorrow's ASBMB Hill Day is that NIH funding is an economic engine. Every dollar invested in NIH returns $2.56 to the U.S. economy through jobs, innovation, and commercial activity rooted in NIH driven research. www.asbmb.org/advocacy/sci... #ScienceServesUsAll

Coenzyme Q is essential for energy production and antioxidant defense, but cells can lose it when synthesis drops. This new study explores an unexpected idea: instead of increasing CoQ production, what if we could boost CoQ by changing how cells traffic and recycle it?

A new study by @ucdaviscancer.bsky.social researchers reveals why experiments on rhesus macaques aren't a good fit for certain cancer immunotherapy studies. #oncology #oncsky #animalresearch

"The study’s new findings show that rhesus macaques—but not humans—shed TIGIT from immune cell surfaces when exposed to plasmin... The result is that in macaques, antibodies may be soaked up by free-floating TIGIT instead of blocking immune suppression on the tumor-fighting cells."

"They note that testing TIGIT cancer drugs in macaques could have produced misleading safety and efficacy data. This may help explain why TIGIT therapies have underperformed in late-stage trials." Via @ucdavishealth.bsky.social health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlin...
