In the February 9th edition of biobytes, we learn from Scott Coonrod (Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) how neutrophils modify their chromatin to make effective bug-trapping nets (Wang et al., JCB). Patrick Wilson (University of Chicago) explains why having some self-reactive immune cells might not be a bad thing (Duty et al., JEM). And Tilmann Achsel (University of Leuven, Belgium) describes how, in neurons, mRNAs make the journey from nucleus to dendrites (di Penta et al., JCB). The show was written, presented, and produced by Ruth Williams, with additional reporting by Justin Paul.
