'We found that the follicular dendritic cell network was smaller in aged mice. Furthermore, the TFH cells that are normally localized within the light zone were instead dispersed throughout the GC in aged mice (Fig. 1), owing to enhanced expression of CXCR4 (a CXCL12 receptor) that directed the TFH cells to the CXCL12-rich dark zone.'

'Icahn alleges that Thompson and deSouza championed a “reckless decision” to close Illumina’s $8bn acquisition of cancer test developer Grail in 2021 against the wishes of EU and US antitrust regulators. Illumina’s market capitalisation has plunged from $75bn in August 2021, when it bought Grail, to just over $32bn on Tuesday.'

Musk bought Twitter specifically to influence the 2024 election (IMHO)
That explains his overpaying
It explains his coding to boost his tweets
It explains the unblocking code
It explains his courting the radical right extremists
...and it explains why DeSantis is announcing his run on Twitter.
If we took out the Onion masthead, would you know this was satire?

'Twitter has long been described, even by its most ardent users, as a hellsite. But under Elon Musk, Twitter has evolved into a platform that is indistinguishable from the wastelands of alternative social-media sites such as Truth Social and Parler. It is now a right-wing social network.'

"Scientists have raised concerns for years about the impacts of all these pressures on mental health. But a series of studies in the past few years are now providing hard data. And the findings show that the situation is dire."

'Risks associated with AI systems can vary widely and depend on the severity of the medical condition it is designed for, how its output is used to inform care, the patient population it is intended to be used in, and the existing level of evidence for the system3. Risk determination, and therefore whether an informed consent waiver is appropriate, will need to be on a case-by-case basis for trials of AI systems.'
