"Democrats fear Joe Biden is sleepwalking to disaster in a November rematch with Donald Trump. Tories level similar criticism at dozy Rishi Sunak as Labour dreams of an autumn landslide. But for a truly world-beating slumber party, EU leaders take the bedtime biscuit."
'Here, we show that Arachidonic Acid inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome, through a PLC-JNK-dependent mechanism, to supress IL-1β production under physiological conditions. This provides a mechanistic basis for how dietary manipulation such as fasting influences the inflammatory state and is likely to be critical for reducing the metaflammation underpinning many diseases induced by the Western Diet.'

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.'

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
