Decoding sex differences in human immunity through systems immunology Abstract. Immune function varies widely across humans. Biological sex is a key factor underlying human immune variability, with men presenting with more se

‼️Our first review is out‼️

Decoding sex differences in human immunity through systems immunology shorturl.at/EsAkE

We discuss how #SystemsImmunology decodes #SexDifferences in #HumanImmunity, paving the way for tailored, sex-informed treatments.

Excellent work by @resabut.bsky.social & Tianze Cao!

How molecules can ‘remember’ and contribute to memory Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain’s neurons has a kind of ‘molecular memory’, which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories.

The ion channel could be targeted with new drugs for certain genetic diseases.

Computational analysis of DNA methylation from long-read sequencing Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 28 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41576-025-00822-5Long-read sequencing technologies can directly profile methylation modifications across the genome. In this Review, Fu et al. overview the long-read computational tools to identify and compare methylation signals, as well as tools that use these methylation signals to analyse cell-type diversity and gain additional genomic insights.
