Farewell to Thomas Di Martino from Buenos Aires, who worked with us for six months.

Ending this week with a Paper Party, celebrating our two recent publications.
Have a nice weekend.

Greetings from the Freiburg moss group.

Dafür der Baum hinter uns und die Wiese zu unseren Füssen. Das ist ja schon mal ein Anfang. 😅

Nothing to be afraid about.

Functional characterisation of Target of Rapamycin (TOR) signalling in Physcomitrella - Plant Cell Reports Key message The evolutionary conserved TOR kinase positively controls growth and development of the moss Physcomitrella, development and function of its chloroplasts, its protein synthesis, and cell-c...

Please check out:
Functional characterisation of Target of Rapamycin (TOR) signalling in #Physcomitrella
We found a remarkable evolutionary conservation of this central #signalling hub, but also specific differences, esp. in RAPTOR.

Information theory meets archaeology. Ice Age notches weren’t just decoration, and early humans may have been recording information that way. A very interesting attempt to trace the evolution of signs. Looks like we were building data storage systems already 40,000 years ago.

Individualized mRNA vaccines evoke durable T cell immunity in adjuvant TNBC - Nature In a phase 1 trial, personalized mRNA vaccines tailored to individual tumour mutations in triple-negative breast cancer induced robust, long-lasting T cell responses and improved prognosis.

Here is the OA full article:
Individualized mRNA vaccines evoke durable T cell immunity in adjuvant TNBC

Personalized mRNA vaccine induces strong, durable immunity in hard-to-treat breast cancer T cells targeting cancer-specific mutant proteins remained in treated individuals years after vaccination.

Very encouraging!
Personalized mRNA vaccine induces strong, durable immunity in hard-to-treat breast cancer
In an experimental trial, a personalized mRNA vaccine was tested in 14 individuals with an aggressive form of breast cancer.
