Hilarious: Trump admin is torn between those who say Moderna's flu trial was unethical because it didn't use a high-dose vaccine as comparator, exposing participants to "increased risk of severe illness," and those who say it was unethical because it didn't use an inert placebo! nytimes.com/2026/02/11/healt…
Great thread from @matthewherper !
Here the Moderna flu data the FDA refused to review.
This is the most important slide from the company's study of its experimental flu vaccine-- exactly the data FDA said it wouldn't even review.
And below is a thread of relevant slides from that presentation and links to other relevant studies I wanted to bookmark. (I'm a reporter who covers this stuff.)🧵1/14

HER2+ breast cancer study identifies 9 biomarkers behind lapatinib resistance:
SCIN, EGFR, TPM1, CALD1, PCP4, AKR7A3, KRT81, HPGD, FASN.
7 of these are new to HER2+ resistance biology.
Multi-omics shows resistant cells shut down most genes but keep these activated → more invasion + aggressiveness.
Big step toward biomarker-guided therapies. 🔬✨ #BREASTCANCER #HER2 #Oncology

I fear the public will never truly realize the immense damage done to our scientific research system and its consequences. A loss of ~$4.5 billion in frozen or cancelled grants with at least 148 impacted clinical trials = 138,000 patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.

This is a big advance, folks. We've never had a disease-modifying drug for this devastating inherited disease

Science delivers medicines, clean air and water, safe food, and smarter choices—saving billions of lives. Proposed cuts to @NIH and @NSF would shutter labs, stall new cures, hurt our economy, and send future scientists elsewhere. Hear from patients saved by science: tinyurl.com/m65339fh.

This is a major story from #ASCO25. Randomized phase 3 trial of time of day of immunotherapy infusion. Randomized to infusion before or after 3pm. Early infusion far superior: PFS 11.3 vs 5.7 HR 0.42, OS HR 0.45! Impactful, pragmatic, not costly. This should be a bigger story.

📢Excited to introduce NanoCas -our new mini CRISPR system that can reach tissues previously out of reach!
By shrinking CRISPR to 1/3 its normal size, we can now edit genes in muscle, heart & brain that were difficult to access before. Summary & link to paper:

I'm really happy to see this work published!! congrats to all the people who participated in this project!
So excited to share the accomplishments of postdocs Drs. Thottappillil @NThottappillil, Wang and Salazar-Gomez. Their spatial blueprint of human blood vessels is out @Dev_Cell. Work done @JHUPath @JohnsHopkins. Thank you @NIH_NIAMS for their support
