'These results showed that HMGB1 inhibited IFN-γ–induced PD-L1 expression, thereby enhancing the antitumor effects of T cells, and confirmed the role of HMGB1 as a prognostic indicator for lung cancer treated with chimeric antigen receptor T cells.' academic.oup.com/jimmunol/adv...

This might be a long shot given the state of the world, but I have 2 amazing undergraduates that are *still* interested in graduate school. They are willing to take a 2yr gap before applying and are looking for research related positions. If anyone is able to hire either, please DM me!

As someone who has spent the last 25 years studying sex differences in brain function and behavior and the last 10 advocating (loudly) for SABV and working to help my colleagues implement the policy into their work, this is utterly heartbreaking.

Great write up at @thetransmitter.bsky.social on the seeming erasure of SABV in the new era of NIH. Gotta say The Transmitter is killing it the last few weeks, first to report on the Federal Register block and now this. Leading the charge! 💪 www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...

Please share widely. DC and state capitols. And attend! 🧪

1/✨ New paper in #eNeuro! We looked at how dominance behaviors vary across mouse strains—turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all! Comparing CD1 & C57 male mice, we found strain-specific dominance behaviors that could change how we study social hierarchy in the lab…🧵 Paper here: tinyurl.com/bdeuf6s9

Once more for reviewers in the back: sex differences in behavioral outcomes are very often NOT a product of the estrous cycle and demanding that scientists build estrous metrics into experimental design only shows your own biases about how females (but not males) are primarily hormone-driven.
