#Immunology #cellimmunity @PLOSBiology LRRC15 is not a #SarsCoV2 entry receptor but can suppress spike-mediated entry . LRRC15 is also expressed in fibroblast cells, the cells that control lung fibrosis, a disease which causes damaged and scarred lung tissue. #COVID19 can lead to lung fibrosis, and the finding may have implications for #LongCovid.

#OtD 20 Feb 1988 20k people in Manchester marched against Margaret Thatcher's homophobic section 28 law, which made it illegal for public bodies to "promote" homosexuality, including teaching its "acceptability" in school

Notch signaling in development and homeostasis

In their 'Development at a glance' article and poster, Oren Gozlan and David Sprinzak provide a brief overview of the Notch signaling and function in development and homeostasis

This is *not* the way scientific papers typically begin:
_________________________

We are running out of time. Ecosystems across the planet are being destroyed at an accelerating rate. The life sciences – once a field dedicated to the study of living systems and our interactions with them – are increasingly becoming sciences of the dead. Up to one million species are currently threatened with extinction, many of them within decades.
_________________________

It's a very good sign, however, an indication that at least some scientists are now ready to speak boldly and unequivocally about the greatest emergency our species has ever faced.

MDPI's IJMS just sent me an email just to say they published a paper and I could read it if I wanted to. Heck, if I wanted to submit an article, they'd be pleased as punch.

I wasn't a reviewer. I had no involvement at any point. This is just spam. Specifically, it's "rent-seeking" behaviour from a publishing group nearly everyone deems "predatory."

Some objects you have to share immediately after seeing it: a Roman flask in the shape of a fish.
We don't know what flaks in the shape fishes were used for, maybe the shape relates to the content (garum/fish sauce), maybe it was used to hold oil.

On display at Pierides Museum, Larnaka, Cyprus.
