We made a small #intestine-on-chip from cells isolated from urine!
It’s out: in our preprint we show the remarkable self-organization of #hiPSC-derived intestinal #epithelial, #mesenchymal and #neural cells in an intestine-on-chip system

'Herein, we describe a synapse formation between α-SMA+ CAFs and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the TME. Foxp3+ Tregs were localized close to α-SMA+CAFs in diverse types of tumor models as well as biopsies from melanoma and colorectal cancer patients.'
'By the close of the Indian Wars in the late 19th century, fewer than 238,000 Indigenous people remained, a sharp decline from the estimated 5 million to 15 million living in North America when Columbus arrived in 1492.'

'Here, we demonstrated that the presence of ECM supported the growth of invasive breast cancer cells, but not non-transformed mammary epithelial cells, under amino acid starvation, through a mechanism that required macropinocytosis-dependent ECM uptake'

'Não podemos querer uma economia avançada e não oferecer uma democracia avançada. Onde é que está a participação cidadã no PRR? Quantos problemas poderíamos ter poupado se tivéssemos envolvido mais a sociedade civil em escolhas que podem ir desde um Data Center, em Sines, à localização do novo aeroporto?'

Yesterday I commented that some extremists view the border conflict in almost biblical terms, which could contribute greatly to the volatility and danger of the situation if militias converge on Texas.
Today, Vice News reported that exactly what I warned about … is happening.

'We found that the positively selected sites of Spz4 in A. cerana correspond to the glycosyltransferases, which are involved in mucus layer formation and the physical defense system in insects [45,63]. Therefore, we speculate that the Spz4 gene in A. cerana has acquired new functions under positive selection, and affects honeybee immune response to E. faecalis.'

In 2023, 10.0% of US workers belonged to a #union.
The rate ticked down from 10.1% in 2022, although about 200,000 additional workers unionized in that period.
A #Labor researcher looks at the latest trends, and why US workers are so much less likely to be unionized than those in other developed countries

'In April, 2020, a grassroots group, later called the Patient-Led Research Collaborative (P.L.R.C.), started surveying several hundred who remained sick for weeks after presumed covid infections. Their results, published in a Google Doc, became the first systematic study of patients with Long covid.'

'There were several auguries that foreshadowed the development of totalitarianism. There were racism and imperialism, as we have seen. There were mobs and nationalism in France, pre-Nazi Germany, and Austria. Demagogues whipped up emotions across the continent and authoritarians promised to resolve things for ordinary people in Portugal, Hungary, and Poland. There was fascism in Spain and Italy, which was violent and nasty, but not the total attack on politics itself which came with totalitarian regimes. Across the globe, there were totalitarian movements that gathered up the moment’s dark discontent by giving the appearance of unstoppable momentum, but which could be stopped where there was sufficient political room for resistance.'

I find it strange that governments focus on identity verification for accessing the Internet while rejecting the most basic technical controls to address the worldwide leading cause of death for children – traffic accidents. Use existing identity infrastructure to check the right to drive, payment of tax, valid insurance and safety certificate before the car can be driven. While doing that, impose appropriate speed limits. This could be done in a privacy-preserving way. https://english.elpais.com/technology/2024-01-19/experts-warn-of-the-dangers-and-difficulties-of-a-government-instituted-anti-porn-app-this-has-never-been-successful.html
