We use genome engineering, chemical biology, advanced light microscopy, and large-scale phosphoproteomics to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying cell division, genome integrity, and cancer.

A glimpse of the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA)?

In any case, this is a stunning and important finding in evolutionary cell biology.

Actin cytoskeleton and complex cell architecture in an Asgard archaeon - Nature

Culture and analysis of ‘Candidatus Lokiarchaeum ossiferum’—a member of the Asgard phylum—reveals an elaborate cell architecture with extensive membranous protrusions.

This seems like a frank admission that the link-blocking policy isn't meant to deter malware, as Twitter Safety claims to end-users. Instead, it's deliberately anti-competitive.

Confession is good for the soul, I suppose

Happy 75th birthday to the transistor, which was invented at Bell Labs in December 1947.

A nice podcast on the invention of the transistor & its vast impact on science, technology, economics, and our modern lives as consumers at https://www.marketplace.org/2022/12/12/75-years-ago-the-transistor-ignited-the-fire-of-modern-innovation/

75 years ago, the transistor ignited the fire of modern innovation

The transistor was born in 1947 at Bell Labs in New Jersey. We're looking into the culture of innovation that made it possible.
