Osteosarcoma Webinar Series: Sowmya Ramesh, PhD joins us on OsteoBites to discuss how multi-modal omics analysis identifies targetable sensory neuron circuitry that promotes sarcoma disease progression.Bone pain is a hallmark of bone cancers, including osteosarcoma (OS), mediated by skeletal-innervating peripheral afferent neurons. However, the roles of tumor-associated sensory neurons in OS beyond pain perception remain poorly understood. To investigate their regulatory functions, a chemical-genetic approach was employed in mice carrying a knock-in allele for TrkA to perturb sensory nerve innervation during OS growth and progression. TrkA inhibition in these transgenic mice significantly reduced sarcoma-associated sensory innervation and vascularization, altered tumor-associated macrophage polarization, decreased tumor growth and metastasis, and extended overall survival.These findings suggest that targeting pathological innervation in OS may serve as an adjunctive therapy to enhance clinical outcomes and survival.Dr. Ramesh is a postdoctoral researcher from the James lab at Johns Hopkins. The lab's research focus lies at the intersection of skeletal pathophysiology and stem cell biology. The lab looks at the interaction of nerves in various musculoskeletal repair including bone repair and regeneration, osteoprogenitor cell characterization, and neoplastic bone. Dr. Ramesh specifically works on understanding how peripheral nerves regulate osteosarcoma disease progression.

fWotD Episode 2829: Metaphysics Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 1 February 2025 is Metaphysics.Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that examines the basic structure of reality. It is traditionally seen as the study of mind-independent features of the world, but some theorists view it as an inquiry into the conceptual framework of human understanding. Some philosophers, including Aristotle, designate metaphysics as first philosophy to suggest that it is more fundamental than other forms of philosophical inquiry.Metaphysics encompasses a wide range of general and abstract topics. It investigates the nature of existence, the features all entities have in common, and their division into categories of being. An influential division is between particulars and universals. Particulars are individual unique entities, like a specific apple. Universals are general features that different particulars have in common, like the color red. Modal metaphysics examines what it means for something to be possible or necessary. Metaphysicians also explore the concepts of space, time, and change, and their connection to causality and the laws of nature. Other topics include how mind and matter are related, whether everything in the world is predetermined, and whether there is free will.Metaphysicians use various methods to conduct their inquiry. Traditionally, they rely on rational intuitions and abstract reasoning but have recently included empirical approaches associated with scientific theories. Due to the abstract nature of its topic, metaphysics has received criticisms questioning the reliability of its methods and the meaningfulness of its theories. Metaphysics is relevant to many fields of inquiry that often implicitly rely on metaphysical concepts and assumptions.The roots of metaphysics lie in antiquity with speculations about the nature and origin of the universe, like those found in the Upanishads in ancient India, Daoism in ancient China, and pre-Socratic philosophy in ancient Greece. During the subsequent medieval period in the West, discussions about the nature of universals were influenced by the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. The modern period saw the emergence of various comprehensive systems of metaphysics, many of which embraced idealism. In the 20th century, traditional metaphysics in general and idealism in particular faced various criticisms, which prompted new approaches to metaphysical inquiry.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:00 UTC on Saturday, 1 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Metaphysics on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ayanda.

Hugo speaks with Charles Frye, Developer Advocate at Modal and someone who really knows GPUs inside and out. If you're a data scientist, machine learning engineer, AI researcher, or just someone trying to make sense of hardware for LLMs and AI workflows, this episode is for you. Charles and Hugo dive into the practical side of GPUs—from running inference on large models, to fine-tuning and even training from scratch. They unpack the real pain points developers face, like figuring out: - How much VRAM you actually need. - Why memory—not compute—ends up being the bottleneck. - How to make quick, back-of-the-envelope calculations to size up hardware for your tasks. - And where things like fine-tuning, quantization, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) fit into the mix. One thing Hugo really appreciate is that Charles and the Modal team recently put together the GPU Glossary—a resource that breaks down GPU internals in a way that's actually useful for developers. We reference it a few times throughout the episode, so check it out in the show notes below.

Modal - Thieves EP A1) Thieves A2) Heads or Tails B1) Strangers (With Jaise) B2) Thieves (Double O Remix) REPRV035 Repertoire presents the Thieves EP, marking Modal's debut vinyl release on the label. This four-track collection features collaborations with Jaise—celebrated for his work with Metalheadz—and Double O of Rupture LDN, bringing together a range of styles that showcase Modal's artistry. Opening with the title track, "Thieves" sets a dark, intense tone with a pounding beat that utilises the classic Tighten Up break to great effect. Double O's remix of "Thieves" brings a heavy amen jungle twist. "Strangers," a collaboration with Jaise, is a halftime, percussive roller driven by huge mid-range bass growls, creating a rich, atmospheric soundscape. "Heads or Tails" brings a more emotive sound, influenced by classic Blue Note styles and blended with a modern, reflective edge.

In this episode, Nolan and Kelli have an honest and transparent discussion with CEO and founder of Remote Job van der Voort (also the former VP of Product at GitLab) on the nuances of running an international remote company. Job strongly emphasises how trying to replicate the office environment in a remote setting doesn't work and how giving small teams extreme autonomy with focus on outcome-based-management far outweighs surveillance and micro management. Kelli, Nolan and Job chat about early career growth and development in remote settings vs learning by osmosis in the office and how the company committed to developing new methodologies to mentor and train up juniors.Job also gives insights into the complexities of global hiring, geography-based compensation, and geographic mobility for remote workers and discusses the impact it has on contracts and mutual obligations.HR Heretics is a podcast from Turpentine.Share this with your friends, forward to your enemies.
