Mashup Score: 13Trophoblastic signals facilitate endometrial interferon response and lipid metabolism, ensuring normal decidualization - 4 hour(s) ago
Embryonic factors are essential for endometrial decidualization during early pregnancy. Yang et al. report that primary trophoblast giant cells, the embryonic cells directly contacting the endometrium, can secrete type I interferon IFNK and lipoprotein lipase to strengthen the decidual interferon response and lipid accumulation, respectively, thus ensuring early pregnancy.

Mashup Score: 4The voices of those affected by the infected blood tragedy were silenced for too long - 6 hour(s) ago
This week the UK bears witness to an important milestone in the history of the NHS: the final report of the infected blood inquiry. The report details how tens of thousands of people across the UK were infected by the NHS with HIV, hepatitis, and other bloodborne infections from the 1970s to the 1990s. One starts to wonder how a system built to serve and protect the health of the British population went so wrong, and how far it has come since then. I served as one of six members of the infected blood inquiry health economics expert advisory group, charged with estimating how much this disaster has cost the UK public. Based on our crude estimates the number sits somewhere between £2bn and £4bn, as of 2021 when our data ended.1 These estimates cannot come close to a true representation of the lifelong costs of being infected with a chronic condition like HIV or hepatitis. We estimated a total loss of somewhere between …

Mashup Score: 0A novel approach to exploring the dark genome and its application to mapping of the vertebrate virus fossil record - Genome Biology - 6 hour(s) ago
Background Genomic regions that remain poorly understood, often referred to as the dark genome, contain a variety of functionally relevant and biologically informative features. These include endogenous viral elements (EVEs)—virus-derived sequences that can dramatically impact host biology and serve as a virus fossil record. In this study, we introduce a database-integrated genome screening (DIGS) approach to investigate the dark genome in silico, focusing on EVEs found within vertebrate genomes. Results Using DIGS on 874 vertebrate genomes, we uncover approximately 1.1 million EVE sequences, with over 99% originating from endogenous retroviruses or transposable elements that contain EVE DNA. We show that the remaining 6038 sequences represent over a thousand distinct horizontal gene transfer events across 10 virus families, including some that have not previously been reported as EVEs. We explore the genomic and phylogenetic characteristics of non-retroviral EVEs and determine their r
