Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen. Wenn ihr mögt, lasst eure #diekleinendinge hier.

Hier: Eine Bachelorstudntin hat spannende Resultate eines Versuchs mit Trametes versicolor präsentiert.
Dass es einiges an positiven Rückmeldungen zur Pressemeldung zu unseren neuen Pilzarten gab 😊

Leider kann ich heute kein Foto hochladen, weiß irgendwer woran das liegen könnte?

For the holiday, a thread on how to befriend crows.

--

Befriending crows is a wonderful thing.

I have many crow friends at home and at work. They bring joy at unexpected moments and can rescue a miserable day even without shaking down the dust of snow that Robert Frost described.

This thread is an updated version of one I posted at the bird site in July 2019.

Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die jeden Tag passieren die wichtig sind. Wenn ihr wollt lasst eure Klienigkeiten in den Kommentaren. Lasst uns #diekleinendinge sammeln!

Hier: einen sehr schönen Weihnachtsabend mit der Familie verbracht. Zum Glück verstehen sich alle gut und dafür bin ich dankbar. Schönen Christtag!
Ein paar Impressionen von meinem Christbaum lasse ich euch noch da. #Weihnachten

Bacterial endosymbionts of beneficial soil fungi protect their hosts against micropredators such as fungivorous nematodes with a cytotoxic benzolactone.

We now found that the anthelminthic effect is boosted with a biosurfactant named symbiosin. Although this compound resembles some fungal metabolites, it is also produced by endofungal bacteria.

Our first paper in 2023 🥳

Endofungal bacteria boost anthelminthic host protection with the biosurfactant symbiosin

Effective protection of soil fungi from predators is crucial for their survival in the niche. Thus, fungi have developed efficient defence strategies. We discovered that soil beneficial Mortierella fungi employ a potent cytotoxin (necroxime) against fungivorous nematodes. Interestingly, this anthelminthic ag

Absolutely not day dreaming about the beauty of slime molds.

In Science, researchers present a high-resolution structure of monkeypox virus #DNA polymerase holoenzyme.

The results reveal the mechanism that underlies monkeypox virus genome replication and could be used to guide the development of antiviral drugs. https://scim.ag/VO

Proposal to stop referring to covid in the past tense and climate change in the future tense.

Here is a short commentary about the induction of anti-PEG antibodies by mRNA vaccines. A few studies (including one of ours) found that now. I do not think this is a safety problem but it should be monitored to make sure it does not impact on the half-life of PEGylated drugs in people who need them.

Impact of anti-PEG antibodies induced by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines - Nature Reviews Immunology

The successful mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 contain polyethylene glycol (PEG) to stabilize the lipid nanoparticles. Recent data show that PEG-specific antibodies can be induced or boosted by mRNA vaccination. Further research is needed to study the potential links between PEG-specific antibodies, vaccine reactogenicity and enhanced clearance of other PEG-containing medicines.

Hier: Abends ein Snöfried Buch mit dem Kind lesen. Inzwischen bekomme ich auch Teile vorgelesen, das ist eine schöne Abwechslung.
Der Blick aus dem Fenster war gestern in der Früh besonders schön. #officewithaview
