What causes more women to develop autoimmune diseases? Currently, the explanation normally includes: hormones, chrX and sex differences in the immune system

📢 Great news! The World Scleroderma Foundation, which does incredible work promoting research in scleroderma and supporting patients globally, has selected our colleague's latest research for a special Basic Science webinar! 🔬🧬

❗ Sanidad confirma que la homeopatía es un “peligro para la salud”: “Su eficacia no supera al placebo”

How many people will die from diseases that would otherwise have been preventable

Doing science requires us to speak 2 different languages: (1) Day science language is a highly precise language for designing & executing experiments; while (2) Night science language uses analogies & anthropomorphizes to give us intuitions about the unknowns we explore. (Night Science recap, Day 4)

El Comité de Igualdad, Diversidad e Inclusión del IPBLN ha organizado un un café informal donde se ha hablado sobre la inclusión de personas LGTBQIA+ en ciencia: algunos de los retos que existen y qué hacer para apoyar mejor a las identidades LGTBQIA+ en nuestros laboratorios.

🧬 Excited to share our new preprint! We characterized CD4+ T cells in #SystemicSclerosis using #SingleCellRNAseq, revealing IFN-driven activation, Treg dysregulation, and Th2/Th17 expansion in disease. 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #scRNAseq #Immunology #SSc

At today’s WIP Seminar, Gonzalo Borrego-Yaniz ( @goboru.bsky.social ), a PhD candidate from Dr. Ana Márquez’s lab, presented their latest research on giant cell arteritis, a rare inflammatory disease that mainly affects older adults.

New online! Gene regulatory networks: from correlative models to causal explanations

Over the course of 2025, UKB researchers were forced to move all of their data analysis to the cloud rather than working with local copies. What was the effect of this move on scientific output? Here is a simple first pass at answering that question.

#Women are underrepresented in academia, especially in #STEMM fields, top institutions & in senior positions. Analysis of millions of biomed & life science articles reveal that female-authored articles spend longer under review than comparable male-authored ones @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4658FZN

Hoy en @elpais.com @manuelansede.bsky.social se hace eco de un estudio depositado en #arxiv que analiza la proliferación de números especiales en algunas revistas científicas en las que el editor que coordina, hasta en un 33% de los casos, es también autor de un artículo. elpais.com/ciencia/2026...

Our new paper (with @biotay.bsky.social) is out and on the cover story of @currentbiology.bsky.social !!!! Veronika, a Carinthian mountain cow flexibly uses a “multi-purpose tool” to scratch herself. A video and more information will follow in the comments. www.cell.com/current-biol...

1/ Women scheduled surgery after being told they had rare BRCA1 variants. The genetic test was wrong. University of Exeter analyzed 50,000 samples to find out how often this happens. The results should worry anyone who's downloaded their 23andMe raw data.

Science journals retract 500 papers a month. This is why it matters

🧬💥 Do the genetics that make you develop a disease also help you survive it? Not much. Our new study in Nature Genetics including 9 disease and 7 biobanks shows: • Susceptibility variants ≠ survival • PRSs for onset weak at predicting progression • Lifespan PRS predicts survival better
