One of our favourite areas of research over the years, red blood cell enucleation, the fascinating process by which red blood cells remove their nucleus. Here is a short explainer why we think it is so interesting and important! @LIMSLTU @latrobe latrobe.edu.au/news/announce…

LIMS Explains: Why red blood cells lose their nucleus

Did you know that red blood cells are the only cells in our body to push out their nucleus? In this instalment of LIMS Explains, Dr Lucas Newton and Professor Patrick Humbert break down this unique...

For a more in depth look and the latest in this area, we also just published a beautiful little review with Lucas Newton and Velia Fowler on Red Blood Cell Enucleation in @J_Cell_Sci journals.biologists.com/jcs/…
Erythroblast enucleation at a glance

Erythroblast enucleation at a glance

Summary: We overview recent insights into the diverse cellular mechanisms underlying erythroblast enucleation, which is the unique process by which mammalian red blood cells eliminate their nuclei.

A good plan from @CCguerilla guerillawarfare.net/post/i-h… + check out education.unsw.edu.au/news-e… + education.unsw.edu.au/news-e… - student grades are important but not in 1st year. Kane is right but making the change is a collective action problem so one has to get buy in to the philosophy – at Sydney, New South Wales

Don’t often buy the Torygrap but I knew Dame Edna had submitted her own tribute - to herself. Still sure she only did it to get a rise from referring to Hitler. Bless her. 1/3

Today @theage and @smh launch a series on Long COVID: the science, the patients, the economic effects, what we're going to do about it. First piece ran on the front page today - a deep dive into what we know, don't know, and *don't want to know* theage.com.au/national/steph…
Stephenie could not get her legs to move in sync. Turns out it was long COVID

Stephenie could not get her legs to move in sync. Turns out it was long COVID

With a federal inquiry report soon due, we examine the impact long COVID is having on Australians’ lives and what its underlying causes might be.
