Great perspective by @dereklowe.bsky.social on recent advances in cell surface #glycoRNA biology, including new work from @raflynn5.bsky.social and collaborators identifying an immune silencing effect of N-glycans on activation of TLRs by Acp3U-RNA (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

Sad to hear that David Baltimore died. I am one of hundreds of scientists that David generously mentored, supported, and inspired. His influence on each of us was deep and lasting, and his impact on the world immeasurable. Arguably David Baltimore is one of the greatest scientists of any generation.

Just declined to participate in the “biotech, pharma, & curiosity-driven labs” panel at @ascbiology.bsky.social this year because I am not sure I’ll attend (the 1st ASCB meeting I’ll have skipped in 15 years). That said, we’re actively recruiting @arcadiascience.com from this community/skillset…

Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we all pay the price.

"A full third of NFL teams have men on their cheerleading squads, but what I find hilarious is that the past eight winners of the Super Bowl have male cheerleaders. In fact, the past eight Super Bowls have only featured teams with male cheerleaders." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/male-cheer...

This is really an excellent post. Strongly recommended.

Another piece of the #glycoRNA puzzle revealed by @raflynn5.bsky.social and @vijayrathinam.bsky.social!! RNAs with modified base acp3U activate TLR3/7, but not when acp3U is N-glycosylated. This is how cell surface/secreted glycoRNAs avoid stimulating autoimmunity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
