Tom Lehrer has put all his songs online (including lyrics & sheet music), and given away all rights to them. The site will only be up for a limited time. This is a very niche tweet that will make a small segment of people very happy. tomlehrersongs.com/

We show long lasting effect of chemokine signaling on nuclear dynamics to enhance neutrophils' migration under confinement.
Collaborative work by @UniPadova, @institut_curie, @NeckerInem, @Inserm, @CNRS and others! By @Lab_AViola and @vargas_lab
How do #neutrophils squeeze through tight spaces?
@Lab_AViola & @vargas_lab find that the chemokine #CXCL12 increases the deformability of the nuclei in mouse neutrophils and compacts chromatin, enabling them to navigate narrow microchannels. @UniPadova scim.ag/Eh
