Groundbreaking discovery from Italian researchers at University #LaSapienza: they’ve uncovered how genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, driven by #Notch3 protein and #RNA modification, fuel a rare pediatric leukemia (T-cell ALL).
This insight could revolutionize targeted therapies, improving outcomes for youngest patients.
Precision medicine is the future,
stop using #AI for bullsh*t,
use it for this.

A set of unclaimed remains placed in the vault under the Atomic Bomb Memorial Mound at the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima will undergo DNA profiling to identify the individual. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/18/japan/hiroshima-atomic-bomb-dna-testing/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #atomicbombings #hiroshima #genetics #wwii
Question:
Only 10 to 15 percent of people are left-handed. @popsci@flipboard.com explains the science behind it. Does the fediverse mirror the world? Vote in our poll!

I imagine that there will be a slightly higher reporting of non-right-handedness in Activity Pub instances,because we think differently.
New research shows diversity in dog size and shape dates back many millennia, long before modern breeding practices. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/14/world/science-health/dog-diversity-study/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #genetics #dogs
James Watson — the Nobel laureate co-credited with the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure, but whose reputation was tainted by his repeated racist remarks — has died aged 97. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/08/world/science-health/james-watson-dna-pioneer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #jameswatson #genetics

Could humans really live forever, as Russian President Vladimir Putin was heard telling Chinese leader Xi Jinping? Maybe not, though serious research is increasingly revealing more about why we age. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/05/world/science-health/xi-putin-immortality-explainer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #vladimirputin #xijinping #biotechnology #genetics #transplants

Long-Awaited UC Davis Bee Genetics Book Updated
"Hear that buzz? The long-awaited update of the landmark UC Davis-authored book, Queen Bee Rearing and Bee Breeding by Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. (1907-2003), “the father of bee genetics,” and his former doctoral research mentee Robert E. Page Jr., now an internationally known bee geneticist, is about to be published."

Our primary instance is shutting down and we ended up repurposing another account however it appears that instance is unstable and may be shut down at a future date so 3rd times hopefully don't have to jump ship again for a while #introduction - Updated: 2025-08-10
We're The Weather System (Athena's Realm System), We're Trans fem, and we're an officially diagnosed autistic, bipolar and dissociative identity disorder system, we a collection of various leftist, and believe strongly in queer, and neurodiversity rights movements, we view plurality in general as neurodivergence
Our pronouns are Su/Sudo/Suselves, however She/Her/Herselves, and They/Them/Theirselves
We are most likely to toot about #Medicine, with focus on #Genetics, #Epigenetics, #Bioinformatics, and #Neuroscience giving our focus back in uni was Genetics of Human Disease, and Neuroscience but we are likely to talk about a whole range of medical topics, besides medicine we are likely to toot about #meteorology and #geology, with specific interests in #SynopticMeteorology#TropicalCyclones / #Hurricanes / #Typhoons / #TropicalStorms, #ExtratropicalCyclones, #SubtropicalCyclones, and #Tornadoes, among other topic, and we may toot about #Geology, #Minerals, and #Vulcanology, and what ever else is on our mind, we collected #MyLittlePony and are a fan of every generation of MLP, also we collect #WildManes and Radioactive stuff and play #EliteDangerous
edit extra info: [Also to note we're storm chasers, so we may occasionally post photos and media from chases, our focus is usually on Tropical Cyclones within the Australian Region Basin with mainly focus on the Coral Sea, these will usually be marked with the Tropical Cyclone and Hurricane tags]

Our system name is subject to change, it was previously the Athena's Realm System, however only one member, arguably two members made that decision on behalf of the entire system, without consulting us, so we're in the process of trying out system names to see which fits us best, but for the time being we will display both "Athena's Realm" and the current trialing system name so it is less confusing for those who know us by our old system name
