"One of the reasons Vienna is repeatedly voted one of the most liveable cities in the world is because its urban planning is centred on the question “is this good for children?” as opposed to “is this good for property developers?”"

"Many neurodevelopmental defects are linked to perturbations in genes involved in housekeeping functions, such as those encoding ribosome biogenesis factors. However, how reductions in ribosome biogenesis can result in tissue and developmental specific defects remains a mystery. Here we describe new allelic variants in the ribosome biogenesis factor AIRIMprimarily associated with neurodevelopmental disorders."

'The food system in Gaza has collapsed completely. The health system has collapsed. Basic infrastructure for clean water and sanitation has collapsed. According to the Famine Review Committee, the people of Gaza are facing a real prospect of famine'

"Getting something into a Gram-negative bacterium isn’t easy. Though the sum total of its boundary layers is thinner than for a Gram-positive, the outer and inner membranes are separated by a no-man’s land known as the periplasmic space (which contains the thinner peptidoglycan wall). The arrangement makes the cell much less permeable, apart from small water channels. Antibiotics that can get into and kill Gram-negative bacteria are therefore often small molecules, around a hundredth the size of a typical protein."

Based on my conversation with Israeli friends and relatives--including many who call themselves "progressive" and "pro-peace"--this cartoon perfectly sums up how they see things.

This shows, more clearly than ever, that only external pressure can end violence & apartheid.

Scientists have recently also found evidence of intricate rainforest societies that predated European contact elsewhere in the Amazon, including in Bolivia and in Brazil.

“There’s always been an incredible diversity of people and settlements in the Amazon, not only one way to live,” said Rostain. “We’re just learning more about them.”

'Here, we found that Mtb did not stimulate isolated human pDCs to produce IFN-I, but human neutrophils infected with Mtb-activated co-cultured pDCs to do so. Mtb-infected neutrophils produced neutrophil extracellular traps, whose exposed DNA is a well-known mechanism to activate pDCs to secrete IFN-I. We conclude that pDCs contribute to the IFN-I response during Mtb infection by interacting with infected neutrophils which may then promote Mtb pathogenesis.'

“Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains.

The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.” Via Dr Steve Campbell from the other place
