  14. CryoStork by Cryolab is a cryogenic dry shipper built for when "probably fine" isn't a standard you can work with. LN2 absorbent core. IATA P650 compliant. Extended hold time. Vapour phase storage. UK support.
    If you transport biological samples professionally — this is worth looking at.

  15. @jik I declined to join the UK #Biobank project, which I'd otherwise have been keen to do, because at the time the UK government was having a round of UNCONDITIONALLY GIVE US ALL YOUR DATA MWHAHAHAHA authoritarian wobbles. I wonder if anyone bothers to think about the long-lasting (medical, social, economic) losses from silent pushback from such antics - dear me of course not...

  16. Another light pollution/health study using the massive UK #BioBank dataset. “Our findings provide evidence that a higher #ALAN exposure is associated with an increased risk of incident [ulcerative colitis], with a significant dose-response relationship, but not with [Crohn’s disease]. Further studies are needed to elucidate the impact of outdoor ALAN on disease pathogenesis and outcomes.”

  17. Civilisation is often defined by what it chooses not to let disappear. At #Uzhhorod National #University, scientists have built a #biobank that advances #genomics and type 1 #diabetes #research, even as #war continues. It already supports #international research and teaching, and aims to represent the #genetic #diversity of #Ukraine where there was once a blank space on the map. But biology is unforgiving. Without reliable #electricity, years of work and thousands of samples simply thaw into loss. A large backup battery can keep this knowledge alive.

    So here is the plain question: would you like to support both Science AND Ukraine?

  22. ⚠️ This implies that in survivors of mild COVID-19, which is most people, over 1 in 3 cases of new-onset dementia is due to COVID-19 ⚠️

    adults aged 50 years and older from the UK Biobank over a median observational period exceeding two years following COVID-19 infection

    compared with those in propensity-score-matched controls without COVID-19 and in individuals with non-COVID respiratory illnesses

    COVID-19 survivors had a higher likelihood of developing new-onset dementia compared to uninfected controls

    association between COVID-19 and all-cause dementia (adjusted Hazard Ratio: 1.58)

    The underlying pathophysiology likely involves prothrombotic, inflammatory, and microvascular dysfunction mechanisms, contributing to cerebral small vessel disease, blood-brain barrier disruption, and chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, ultimately leading to cognitive impairments and dementia

  40. Professor Chris Ponting on “Replicated Blood-Based Biomarkers” for ME in Big Data Pre-Print Study

    By David Tuller, DrPH

    Along with several colleagues, Professor Chris Ponting, a geneticist at the University of Edinburgh and a leading ME/CFS researcher, recently posted a pre-print called “Replicated blood-based biomarkers for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis not explicable by inactivity.”  (A pre-print is a paper that has not yet been formally peer-reviewed.) For this analysis, the investigators examined data for more than 3,000 molecular and cellular traits in samples from the UK Biobank, including from 1,455 ME cases and 131,303 controls. They found 116 traits that were significant among both female and male ME patients.

    Earlier today, I spoke about the study with Professor Ponting, who is also the lead investigator for DecodeME, a major genome-wide association study of ME/CFS.
