I highlighted the new #preprint from Xinnian Dong's lab for @preLights
My #prelights article:

"30-years of searching for the link between local infection and systemic acquired resistance: It’s been ROS all along!"

Hi #ScienceMastodon.

#preLights (https://prelights.biologists.com) is a #preprint highlights service run by the biological #community & supported by #Co_Biologists allowing one to:

🔎 Sift through the high # of preprints.
💡 Highlight new thinking/techniques across the biological sciences.
📝 Comment on preprints.
👥 See comments & opinions of others.

We’ve moved over to our own instance @biologists.social, & hope that you’ll join us there for friendly chats between biologists!

Meet the #preLightsAmbassadors: Girish Kale.

Girish is currently a #postdoc #COSHeidelberg. He has represented #preLights at several national and international meetings already and is therefore a very natural Ambassador for the platform.

Unclearing microscopy: seeing human cells directly by eye. 👀

Two more #preLights are now online!

Robert Mahen highlights an amazing #preprint from Ons M’Saad, Michael Shribak & Joerg Bewersdorf #Yale which introduces a promising new technique: #UnclearingMicroscopy

The importance of being in the right place, with the right ploidy, at the right time - and how not to mend broken hearts.💔

Two more #preLights are now online!

One was prepared by Anastasia Moraiti who covers the recent #preprint from the #FoxLabDuke.

Two excellent new posts on #preLights! 👀

The other describes the finding of a fuse that ignited the 💣: Ultra-accurate sequencing of single-stranded precursors of DNA damage.🧬

Kerryn Elliott #goteborgsuni covers a #preprint from Gilad Evrony and team.

Two excellent new #preLights were posted today! 👀

One discusses a new player in establishing immune tolerance: How Insm1 regulates mTEC gene expression.

#preLighters Marina Schernthanner #RockefellerUniv & Jessica Chevallier #centuri_ls cover a #preprint from Wehuai Tao and colleagues.

Happy New Year! 🎆 Two new #preLights to kick off #2023.

1st: It’s all clicking together - Keqing Nian, Yifang Liu, Laura Brigandi & Sara H. Rouhanifard develop a DNA oligomer-conjugated ligand for copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloadditions.
