Madisonians, rally the troops! It’s time to go annexin’ 🤠
Shorewood Hills Trustees tonight of to great start. They have no clerk because she is away on bereavement leave. They just have the administrator left. They are trying to figure out what should be on the agenda, and trying to figure out the Roberts Rules for that. Looks like Facebook broadcast down

We’ve engineered stable cell systems to induce lipid scrambling of the plasma membrane with active forms of TMEM16F. Scrambling alone causes vesiculation (🔵TMEM16F-active; 🟠PS/Annexin V). Let us know if you want to try the cells out. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

University of Western Ontario researchers found annexin A5 binds both the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and the ACE2 receptor.

By blocking the virus at both sides of entry, it reduced viral burden and improved infected cell survival.

Investigation of TDP-43 and annexin A11 contributions to off-target tau-PET binding in frontotemporal lobar degeneration: a retrospective, observational study
Flortaucipir uptake in FTLD-TDP, particularly type C, could reflect off-target binding to phosphorylated TDP-43 and ANXA11 aggregates in limbic regions rather than tau pathology alone; consequently, t...
