Breastmilk is Dynamic Cellular and transcriptional diversity over the course of human lactation This recent 2022 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Nyqiust and colleagues is a site for sore eyes. It offers a remarkable, high-resolution portrait of how the cellular landscape of human breast milk (hBM) shifts over time. The authors capture something both scientifically rich and uniquely human: the dynamic, living composition of milk as it adapts to the changing needs of mother and child. The abstract: "Human breast milk is a dynamic fluid that contains millions of cells, but their identities and phenotypic properties are poorly understood. We generated and analyzed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to characterize the transcriptomes of cells from hBM across lactational time from 3 to 632 d postpartum in 15 donors. We found that the majority of cells in hBM are lactocytes, a specialized epithelial subset, and that cell-type frequencies shift over the course of lactation, yielding greater epithelial diversity at later points. Analysis of lactocytes reveals a continuum of cell states characterized by transcriptional changes in hormone-, growth factor-, and milk production-related pathways. Generalized additive models suggest that one subcluster, LC1 epithelial cells, increases as a function of time postpartum, daycare attendance, and the use of hormonal birth control. We identify several subclusters of macrophages in hBM that are enriched for tolerogenic functions, possibly playing a role in protecting the mammary gland during lactation. Our description of the cellular components of breast milk, their association with maternal–infant dyad metadata, and our quantification of alterations at the gene and pathway levels provide a detailed longitudinal picture of hBM cells across lactational time. This work paves the way for future investigations of how a potential division of cellular labor and differential hormone regulation might be leveraged therapeutically to support healthy lactation and potentially aid in milk production."

Toads continue to amaze us - this time they are using their sense of the Earth's magnetic field to find their way home. But how important this sense is for cane toads as they travel home from long journeys, and how much are they relying on their sense of smell, was a mystery, until a clever new study tested the toads. Then we briefly touch on how pythons digest bones so successfully. Main Paper References: Fernandez RC, Sotelo MI. 2025.

Plate tectonics tells us all about how the continents are drifting along at a centimeter or two a year, ever so gradually reshaping the surface of the earth, remaking the ocean floor, and causing earthquakes and volcanoes the world over. But what if it went a lot faster? In this episode, Todd and Paul chat with geophysicist Sarah Peterson about the CATASTROPHIC version of plate tectonics that has become the leading model of how the Flood happened. Sarah walks us through both the basic concepts of tectonics and how Catastrophic Plate Tectonics explains even more than the slow, conventional version.

Pendant longtemps, les neurosciences ont cherché à répondre à une question à la fois biologique et culturelle : le cerveau des hommes est-il différent de celui des femmes ? Des siècles de stéréotypes ont alimenté l'idée que le genre déterminait des aptitudes naturelles distinctes — logique pour les uns, intuition pour les autres, langage d'un côté, orientation spatiale de l'autre. Mais que dit la science aujourd'hui ? Le cerveau a-t-il un genre ?Des différences anatomiques… en moyenneOui, des différences existent entre les cerveaux masculins et féminins, mais elles sont statistiques et non déterminantes. En moyenne, le cerveau des hommes est environ 10 % plus volumineux, ce qui s'explique par leur corpulence plus importante. Certaines régions peuvent aussi différer légèrement : l'amygdale (impliquée dans la gestion des émotions) ou l'hippocampe (mémoire) présentent des variations de taille selon le sexe. Mais ces écarts ne suffisent pas à prédire les comportements ou les aptitudes. La plupart de ces différences sont faibles, avec de grandes variations individuelles.L'étude fondatrice : pas de “cerveau masculin” ou “féminin”Une avancée majeure vient de l'étude de Daphna Joel, neuroscientifique à l'Université de Tel-Aviv, publiée en 2015 dans la revue Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). En analysant les IRM de plus de 1 400 cerveaux, elle a montré que la grande majorité des cerveaux humains sont des “mosaïques”. Autrement dit, chaque cerveau présente des caractéristiques tantôt plus fréquentes chez les femmes, tantôt chez les hommes, sans configuration typiquement masculine ou féminine.Biologie et culture : un cerveau plastiqueLe cerveau est hautement plastique : il se modifie tout au long de la vie en fonction des expériences, de l'éducation, de la langue, des métiers exercés… Ce que l'on observe comme différences cérébrales pourrait donc être en partie le résultat de l'environnement social, et non l'inverse.Par exemple, l'activation plus fréquente de certaines zones lors d'activités linguistiques chez les femmes a longtemps été interprétée comme une différence innée. Or, des études plus récentes montrent que l'exposition précoce au langage, les attentes éducatives ou les modèles familiaux influencent la spécialisation cérébrale.En résuméLe cerveau humain n'a pas de genre binaire. Il existe des différences moyennes entre les sexes, mais elles sont faibles, non exclusives, et fortement modulées par l'expérience. La recherche actuelle privilégie donc l'idée d'un continuum cérébral, où chaque individu développe un profil unique, largement façonné par l'interaction entre biologie et environnement.Autrement dit : le genre n'est pas câblé dans le cerveau — il est vécu, appris, et transformé.

The greatest threat to human health is us. Humans are the only species capable of self-annihilation. For at least the past 30 years it has been acknowledged that the earth is presently experiencing its sixth mass extinction entirely caused by anthropogenic GHG emissions. Per research published in 2023, current generic extinction rates are 35 times higher than expected background rates prevailing in the last million years under the absence of human impacts. Research published in Proceedings, the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in 2022 concluded, “There is ample evidence that climate change could be catastrophic. We could enter such “endgames” at even modest levels of warming.” “Facing a future of accelerating climate change while blind to worst-case scenarios is naïve risk management at best and fatally foolish at worst.”Mr. Kellis's August article (and related podcast), “Why Should Extinction Medicine Be a Specialty?” appears in the recent AMA Journal of Ethics special issue on extinction medicine, at: https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/issue/existential-health-care-ethicsThe recent SSRN pre-print on extinction medicine is at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5109482The recent IPPNW-AMA Journal of Ethics webinar on the ethics of human extinctions: To sign up for the Extinction Medicine Reading Group, a new IPPNW Medical Student Movement initiative that will promote international, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary discussion on writings on the science, ethics, and medicalization of human extinction, go to: https://forms.gle/pLspc5URhu9VcuS37Mr. Kellis can be reached via : www.devinkellis.com This is a public episode.

David Gower, CEO and Chairman of Emerita Resources (TSX.V: EMO) (OTCQB: EMOTF), joins me for a comprehensive exploration update at their wholly owned polymetallic Iberian West Project (IBW), located in southern Spain.  The IBW Project includes three Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposits: La Romanera, El Cura and La Infanta. We also get another update on the legal proceedings at the Aznalcóllar Project later in the conversation.   We start off reviewing the assay results from the latest batch of drill results at the El Cura deposit, announced on August 20th.   Recent results from the ongoing drilling campaign at El Cura include:   Drill hole EC057: 3.1m grading 2.3% copper, 1.8% lead, 4.7% zinc, 2.21 g/t gold and 78.71 g/t silver, including a 1.9m interval grading 3.3% copper, 2.5% lead, 6.2% zinc, 3.13 g/t gold and 110.58 g/t silver. Drill hole EC062: 7.2m grading 1.0% copper, 1.4% lead, 1.9% zinc, 1.31 g/t gold and 60.10 g/t silver. Drill hole EC067: 16.9m grading 1.4% copper, 1.0% lead, 2.1% zinc, 0.93 g/t gold and 42.66 g/t silver, including a 3.1m interval grading 1.1% copper, 1.5% lead, 3.5% zinc, 1.46 g/t gold and 59.69 g/t silver. Drill hole EC068: 2.7m grading 1.3% copper, 1.0% lead, 3.2% zinc, 1.58 g/t gold and 46.59 g/t silver.   David outlines that the El Cura deposit has potential to significantly increase IBW resource tonnes with additional high-grade gold and copper mineralization. The Company has approved an additional 10,000 meters of diamond drilling at El Cura due to the results of the program to date which demonstrate the deposit remains open for possible expansion at modest depth. This drilling will focus on converting the previously delineated Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate to an Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate in support of economic studies, as well as extending the lower and western regions of the known resource.   El Cura is located in between La Infanta and La Romanera, but more closely resembles La Romanera metallurgically, returning higher gold values along with the base metals. David walks us through how each of these 3 deposit areas plays into the larger development strategy, where the earlier stage mining decline at La Infanta can now drift through El Cura on the way to the development of La Romanera, bringing in El Cura in as a future economic driver much earlier in the mining sequence.  We discuss all the derisking work going on in the background building toward the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) later this year, as well as an update on the environmental permits anticipated to come in over the next couple months.   We wrap up with David summarizing that the Third Section of the Provincial Court of Seville has completed the hearings for the criminal trial on the alleged crimes committed during the process of awarding the Aznalcóllar tender. The hearings commenced on March 3, 2025 and were completed on July 15, 2025. The Trial judges, Angel Márquez Romero (President of the Court), Luis G. de Oro-Pulido Sanz and Carmen Pilar Caracuel Raya, will now prepare their rulings on the criminal allegations. The company is still awaiting further clarity on whether Emerita Resources will be awarded the high-grade polymetallic Aznalcóllar Project later this year, as the only other qualified bidder at the time.   If you have any follow up questions for David regarding Emerita Resources, then email those in to me at  Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Emerita Resources

Epigenetic Mechanisms in Breast Cancer (Luca Magnani)

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Luca Magnani from Institute of Cancer Research and UNIMI in Milan about his work on epigenetic mechanisms of drug resistance and cancer cell dormancy in breast cancer. We start the interview by putting our focus on his significant contributions to the understanding of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. In a foundational study from 2013, Professor Magnani and his colleagues illuminated the role of genome-wide reprogramming of the chromatin landscape in conferring resistance to endocrine therapy. This research marked a departure from a purely genetic mutation paradigm, proposing instead that epigenetic modifications play a pivotal role in the development of drug resistance. A fascinating part of our conversation centers on the role of pioneer transcription factors, particularly PBX1, in regulating the estrogen receptor's transcriptional response. Professor Magnani explains how PBX1, typically associated with hematopoietic development, influences estrogen receptor activity, thereby shaping the cancer cell's fate and response to treatment. Continuing our exploration, we discuss the critical distinctions between primary and metastatic breast cancer through the lens of epigenetic reprogramming. By analyzing samples from women with breast cancer, Professor Magnani's work identifies specific enhancer usage that marks the transition to a drug-resistant state which was a breakthrough in linking epigenetic alterations to real-world patient outcomes. He emphasizes that the reliance on genetic mutations alone does not adequately explain the mechanisms of drug resistance, pushing the field to consider the epigenetic landscape more deeply. Our conversation also touches on the evolution of experimental techniques. Professor Magnani shares insights into the transition from traditional ChIP-seq methods to CUT&RUN, demonstrating the need for techniques that cater to the limited material available from clinical samples. This adaptability mirrors the dynamic nature of cancer itself, as cells continuously evolve under therapeutic pressure. As we traverse through the complexities of dormancy and reactivation in cancer cells, Professor Magnani enlightens us on the unpredictable nature of tumor behavior. He describes how cancer cells can enter dormant states and how their awakening is influenced by environmental factors, akin to an evolutionary response to stressors, thus revealing the intricate balance between survival and proliferation. In the latter part of the episode, we explore Professor Magnani's vision for the future of breast cancer research, which includes the need for better animal models that mimic human disease. His pursuit of understanding estrogen receptor behavior both in healthy and cancerous cells reflects a holistic approach to cancer biology, aiming to decipher the transition from normal tissue to malignancy.   References Magnani, L., Stoeck, A., Zhang, X., Lánczky, A., Mirabella, A.

Throughout history people have been keen to find the answer to immortality. It's now commonly accepted that eternal life is not possible. Yet, somewhere deep in the ocean, a tiny fingernail-sized creature nicknamed the “immortal jellyfish” might be able to cast new light on the human aging process. A new study published in August 2022 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows the results from a team of researchers who have mapped the jellyfish's genetic code to find the secret to its immortality. They found that the immortal jellyfish has twice more copies of genes associated with DNA repair and protection than a regular jellyfish. They can produce greater amounts of protective and restorative proteins. Why is the "immortal jellyfish" immortal? Will humans be able to regenerate like jellyfish?

On today's show, Alex and Calvin continue their series on “AI” and public discourse, focusing this time on the increasing proliferation of AI applications in government writing, policy, and social media. We characterize the second Trump administration as the "first totally post-AI presidency," which has adopted the "dumbest, most unreflective, most uncritical approach" to AI's use in communication, research, and analysis. Throughout the show, we emphasize how AI technologies are themselves rhetorical artifacts at the same time as they so often produce “bad” rhetoric, reflecting the intentions, values, and presuppositions of their creators, as well as the inherent biases of their training data and text generation models. This often results in an entry-level, overly dense writing style - often referred to as "slop" - which is almost written not to be read, but rather to fill space.We explore several concerning examples of AI's uncritical adoption by the secondTrump administration and their acolytes in the tech world. Early executive orders exhibited AI-generated formatting errors and formulaic, generic language, demonstrating a context-blind style that could lead to legal problems and erode public trust. Furthermore, the "MAHA Report" from the Office of Health and Human Services was found to fabricate studies and misrepresent findings, reflecting how large language models are "sycophantic," and can reinforce existing (often false) beliefs. Our discussion also covers Palantir's "Foundry" product, which aims to combine diverse government datasets, raising significant privacy and political concerns, especially given the political leanings of Palantir's founders. Finally, we examine xAI's Grok chatbot (run by Elon Musk), which illustrates how tech elites can exert incredible political power through direct interventions in AI tools' system prompts - which in recent months has led Grok to parrot conspiracy theories and make explicit antisemitic remarks on the public feeds of X/Twitter.Ultimately, our analyses emphasizes - once again - that these so-called “AI” technologies are not neutral; they are, in the words of Matteo Pasquinelli, "crystallization[s] of a productive social process" that "reinforce the power structure that underlies [them]," perpetuating existing inequalities. Understanding these mechanisms and engaging in what Pasquinelli terms "de-connectionism" - undoing the social and economic fabric constituting these systems - is essential for critiquing the structural factors and power dynamics that AI reproduces in public discourse.Have any questions or concerns about this episode?

We are in the thick of multiple sports seasons: the NBA finals are happening, and baseball and soccer are in full swing. For devoted fans, emotions can run pretty high during a game. Cognitive anthropologist Dimitris Xygalatas has long been fascinated by that intensity — and how uniform it can be across fans. So, he and fellow researchers at the University of Connecticut decided to look into what exactly makes fans so deeply connected to their team and to fellow supporters. It turns out that connection may have less to do with actual gameplay and more to do with rituals.
