🔬 Científicos de la Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM y la Universidad de Arabia Saudita descubrieron el nucléolo en células procariontes (Arqueas), un hallazgo que cambia el paradigma de la biología celular.

Para entender este hallazgo necesitamos entender dos cosas: a) qué es un nucléolo y b) qué carambas es una arquea.
a) El #núcleo celular (en donde está casi todo el genoma) es una estructura tradicionalmente descrita solo en #eucariontes (como tú, yo, tu gato, Paramecium, tardígrados, los champiñones y el árbol del parque).

The Correct answer is (C)
(1/5)Recombinant vector vaccines are made through genetic engineering. The gene that creates the protein for a bacteria or virus is isolated and placed inside another cell’s genes.
(1/5)Recombinant vector vaccines are made through genetic engineering. The gene that creates the protein for a bacteria or virus is isolated and placed inside another cell’s genes.
(2/5)When that cell reproduces, it produces vaccine proteins that mean the immune system will recognize the protein and protect the body against it. Hence, statement 1 is correct.

This is the most straightforward explanation for chronic symptoms in at least a subset of #LongCovid patients. Partly b/c if the #virus is still present its activity can directly contribute to other phenomena also being documented in LongCovid
2/ Persistence of #SARS-CoV-2 in tissue could lead to shedding of spike protein into blood, which can catalyze the ongoing formation of microclots and hyperactivated platelets
3/ Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 can lead to ongoing downregulation of interferon and/or T cell signaling by the virus, creating an optimal atmosphere for activation of EBV or other #pathogens normally controlled by such immunity

⭐️ It is with immense pleasure that we share with you the published #Sitophilus oryzae #genome paper in @BMCBiology doi.org/10.1186/s12915… 1/n
S. oryzae is a #coleopteran capable of destroying entire cereal crops posing a significant threat to the food security of many developing countries. The female #weevil lays ~300 eggs during its lifetime. They develop within the cereal grain until a ~3 day old adult emerges 2/n
Cereal grains are nutritionally poor, and S. oryzae partnered with a gram- bacterium that complements its diet. The bacteria are present within specialized insect cells, called #bacteriocytes. Check here for our latest research on this #symbiosis doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…. 3/n

In our recent review on #LongCovid/PASC we bring up the possibility that dysbiosis or imbalance of host #microbiome communities (in ecosytems such as the gut, lungs, or oral cavity) might contribute to at least some LongCovid symptoms: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
2/ More specifically immune dysregulation driven by #SARS-CoV-2 might allow pathobionts (bacteria capable of both commensal + virulent acitivty) in the gut, mouth, or other body sites to collectively shift towards a state of imbalance + pro-inflammatory gene/metabolite expression
3/ Conversely, b/c composition + activity of the microbiome can influence host susceptibility and ongoing control of #viral pathogens, exisiting microbiome dysbiosis in a range of body sites may serve as a form of predisposition to LongCovid

If you’re considering studying blockage of GPCRs in #LongCovid or related conditions, please start w/ the understanding that humans are not sterile...and that common human organisms/pathogens express proteins/metabolites that block/dysregulate GPCR signaling
2/ Herpesvirus re-activation is common in #COVID-19, and may impact some LongCovid cases. The herpesviruses alone (EBV, CMV etc) create a wide range of proteins that block GPCR signaling: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Indeed, viral hijacking of GPCRs is a big topic in cancer research
3/ Beyond that, many commensal #bacteria derived from the human #microbiome appear capable of expressing metabolites that are GPCR mimics, that directly impact GPCR signaling. That means even changing microbiome dynamics could impact GPCR-related issues: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
