The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.

Looks like private funders, HHMI,CZI etc., are not going to “save” US research. Europe is setting up mechanisms to attract US researchers & it may work. But, common, target junior talent, don’t shower money on superstars who will be flying professors & return to US when the science winter passes.

Now online! Pseudouridine RNA avoids immune detection through impaired endolysosomal processing and TLR engagement

Pseudouridine RNA avoids immune detection through impaired endolysosomal processing and TLR engagement
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 7 and 8 detect RNA degradation products to sense infection. However, modified nucleosides common in self-RNA—most notably pseudouridine—evade recognition. This study finds that poor nuclease processing and selective TLR avoidance drive this evasion, offering insight into the molecular basis of immune tolerance to pseudouridine-containing RNA.

Epitranscriptomic rRNA fingerprinting reveals tissue-of-origin and tumor-specific signatures
Milenkovic et al. demonstrate that rRNA modifications are differentially modified across tissues, developmental stages, and in disease. The authors show that rRNA modification patterns, also termed “epitranscriptomic rRNA fingerprints,” are sufficient to accurately identify tissue of origin and tumorigenicity, from as few as 250 reads.
