@cyrilpedia nice study that. IL1-RA often forgotten as a regulatory element. I see it come up often in transcriptomic data, often with proinflammatory cytokines - often wondered if that's an inbuilt counter regulatory homeostatic mechanism. #immunology #bioinformatics
"The immunology behind the pandemic and, even more importantly, guidance to prevent severe disease, began to be lost in a sea of misinformation and deliberate disinformation, turning the pandemic into a political football. This led to confusion, and tragically, to decisions that unnecessarily increased morbidity and mortality. It is incumbent on us to understand what happened so we can be better prepared for future crises and, moreover, draw lessons for science communication more generally."
"As algas não servem só para alimentar peixes. Na agricultura, estes organismos podem também servir de suplemento vitamínico às alfaces, espinafres ou framboesas. O projecto que põe em prática esta tese está a ser desenvolvido pela Universidade do Algarve, através da GreenColab"

"Here we show that deletion of ST2, the receptor for interleukin (IL)-33, on Treg cells increased granulocyte influx into the lung and increased cytokine production by innate lymphoid and γδ T cells without alteration of adaptive immunity to influenza."

"Halfway through MR. MOM, I paused the film, turned to my wife and asked, 'Holy shit, is this as pro-woman as I think it is?'"
The answer is: yes, yes it is.

@colehaddon Really? Glad to hear this holds up, lately I've been going back to the 80s films of my childhood & the degree of misogyny is usually shocking.
'That Coppola saw further than others into the future of film is argued persuasively by Wasson, although we could do without the imperial purple with which he sometimes adorns his prose. “What would stop Zoetrope,” he writes, “from reconstituting America or even world consciousness into a single living, loving adventure the size of nations and the span of lifetimes . . .?” Well. Reality? The boundaries of the possible?'

Good Skift followup to the fake women tech conference speakers. Somewhere a machine is planning a fake conference for the fake conference speakers and the fake Sports Illustrated writers.

"Congress has an opportunity to turn this ongoing human tragedy into a public health advancement, by providing support for a five-year project to eliminate hepatitis C in the United States. But the time available for approval is growing short."

No one likes being bullied & it turns out that the brains of male cichlids that are vulnerable to bullying rewire. Specific regions of the brain that process sensory information & decision making are activated differently in confident & bullied males

"The non-profit I described was the governing structure that OpenAI began with in 2015, when it was formed as a research-oriented non-profit to build safe AI technology.
But ever since OpenAI’s ChatGPT looked to be on its way to achieving the holy grail of tech – an at-scale consumer platform that would generate billions of dollars in profits – its non-profit safety mission has been endangered by big money."

"Under an immigration law passed in 1996, asylum seekers must wait 180 days before even applying for a work permit. In practice, the law has forced immigrants to scrounge for off-the-books jobs as food delivery workers or restaurant dishwashers or else live off meager government and charitable assistance."

'Além disso, a pretensa meritocracia do numerus clausus é uma tautologia: o sistema académico define o que é considerado “melhor” e depois declara que os aceites são os “melhores”. Mas onde está a demonstração que médias altas identificam os mais aptos para determinada profissão? Alguém acha que os melhores médicos se escolhem pela capacidade de receber e memorizar “aprendizagens” de Português ou Biologia no ensino secundário?'
