The current administration’s narrative that Harvard (and all universities) feel “entitled” to federal dollars misleads the public. Nor are these funds a “privilege” 1/n

A practical review of new AGA guidance on PVT management by @drjessicadavis.bsky.social #liversky 📍don’t delay AC 📍can hold AC for EGD for 48 hours 📍AC does NOT increase risk of bleeding from varices while you wait for EGD

The first ever @fda.gov approved treatment for IgG4-RD is upon us. #inebilizumab #uplizna @amgen.bsky.social A much needed option for this very heterogenous and challenging disease which can literally affect any organ but prominently liver and bile ducts. #liversky #gisky

A spatially resolved transcriptome landscape during thyroid cancer progression
Liao et al. integrate spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq to map thyroid cancer progression. They identify distinct thyrocyte subpopulations and tumor-stage-specific cell-cell interactions, highlighting SERPINE1+ fibroblasts as potential markers of malignancy. Their findings provide a spatially resolved view of tumor microenvironment remodeling in thyroid cancer.

Two truths and a lie Truth: There are adverse events from MMR and all vaccines. Truth: People die, albeit very, very, VERY rarely. BIG FUCKING LIE: the MMR does NOT cause measles or any sequelae. It prevents measles. It’s safe and effective. Measles disables & kills children. Vaccinate your kids

In these unprecedented dark times for American life science and medical research (no less well beyond biomedicine), my coping mechanism is to laser focus on the unremitting and remarkable daily advances, and the fervent hope these will not be slowed or interrupted.

SCI Member Hanlee Ji & others found that #GastricCancer precursors exhibit variable progression rates. A 26-gene panel was identified, linked to advanced lesions, suggesting immature intestinal cells play a key role in carcinogenesis. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Resembling sand swirling in water, this region of a molecular cloud was observed by #NASAWebb. In mid-infrared light, several dim stars and one bright star with diffraction spikes appear. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, W.R.M. Rocha (LEI). 🔭 🧪
A vertical image of a region of a molecular cloud. The orange cloud is dense and bright close to the top right, where it also appears like rolling clouds, and grows darker and more wispy toward the bottom and in the top left corner. One bright star with six short diffraction spikes and several dimmer stars are visible among the clouds.

Presently, an estimated 60-70 million Americans are suffering from GI diseases. That is why consistent and sustainable funding from NIH is necessary to support innovative research and treatment development. Please take a minute to tell Congress to stop NIH cuts! gastro.quorum.us/campaign/109928

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

@NIH needs thoughtful, deliberate, transparent, and accountable reform. Not this chaos! Instead of uniting, many are exploiting the crisis to push their own agendas. This division leaves our community fractured while decades of progress is being recklessly discarded! Let’s unite our voices !
