Our paper ‘Fine mapping highlights ITGAL and MUS81 loss-of-function mutations modulating recessive impacts in dairy cattle’ is now out in Animal Genetics @WileyEcolEvol, and it’s Open Access! 🐄 doi.org/10.1111/age.70027

He encontrado este paper sobre #Hantavirus bastante completo sobre su mecanismo de infección. 🐭🦠 Son virus relevantes en salud pública, y muy interesantes desde la virología molecular. 1️⃣ Reservorios y transmisión: infectan roedores, musarañas, topos y murciélagos, aunque las infecciones humanas descritas se asocian sobre todo a hantavirus de roedores. El contagio suele ocurrir al inhalar aerosoles contaminados con excretas. 🌲🌬️ 2️⃣ Patologías: algunos hantavirus pueden causar fiebre hemorrágica con síndrome renal (HFRS) o síndrome cardiopulmonar por hantavirus (HCPS), enfermedades potencialmente graves. 💔🏥 3️⃣ Biología: tienen un genoma de ARN monocatenario negativo dividido en tres segmentos. Un punto clave es su interacción con células endoteliales: pueden aumentar la permeabilidad vascular sin destruir masivamente el endotelio. 🔬🧬 4️⃣ Impacto: brotes como el de Yosemite recuerdan que la ecología de los roedores y el contacto humano con sus hábitats pueden influir en el riesgo de infección. 📈🐁 ✅ Lo más sólido del artículo: resume la estructura viral, la replicación, el posible uso de integrinas para entrar en células y la relación entre fuga vascular e inmunopatología. 💡 Ojito, es una revisión de 2013; para un hilo actualizado habría que añadir literatura reciente sobre virus Andes, transmisión persona a persona y nuevas herramientas diagnósticas. Pero está bastante bien. 🔗👉 nature.com/articles/nrmicro3… #Hantavirus #Virología #SaludPública #Microbiología #Zoonosis

Lifestyle is a stronger predictor of aging and mortality than genetics. A new Nature study of ~500,000 people found: 🎯 17% of mortality variation was linked to lifestyle (exposome). 🧬 <2% of was explained by genetics. Here’s what you need to know 👇🧵 1/10

Hoffnung fällt nicht vom Himmel. Hoffnung ist harte Arbeit. Heute, morgen, übermorgen. Wir sind da. Und wir sind viele.

🇪🇺🤝🇳🇿 We’re excited to launch our new feature series, "New Zealand: A Horizon Europe Success Story", highlighting how New Zealand research institutions are making an impact in EU-funded projects. In Episode 1, we spotlight the UPWEARS project, a groundbreaking initiative at the intersection of sustainability and advanced materials: youtu.be/7XAxqIwGGrc New Zealand’s very own @scion_research (New Zealand Forest Research Institute Limited) plays a key role, leveraging its expertise in biobased materials and circular economy solutions to contribute to innovative, sustainable alternatives in the textile and fashion industries. A huge thank you to the Scion team (for their valuable insights and support in creating this episode! 🎥👏 This is a fantastic example of how New Zealand researchers collaborate globally through Horizon Europe, shaping the future of research and innovation. Stay tuned as we continue to showcase more success stories! @EUinNZ, @EUScienceInnov, @REA_research, @MBIEsci #HorizonEurope #NZinEUResearch #Sustainability #Innovation #EUFunded #HorizonEU #Research #Innovation #StrongerTogether

The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some are considering changing jobs or leaving the country. Others say them might abandon research altogether. go.nature.com/4hO8k1u

A few takeaways from the #German #election: the divisions between east and west appear to be growing, not diminishing, 35 years after #reunification. Young voters continue to drift to the political fringes. Most Germans reject the far-right party. theguardian.com/world/2025/f…
