As the Beatles would suggest, come together, right now.

"Research on the origin and early evolution of life therefore comprises two areas of understanding that in practice make little contact with one another (Fig. 1). We understand some of the chemistry and geochemical settings that could have led to an origin of life and we can also infer details about early organisms through the most ancient protein families. In practice, however, these two fields of research remain largely disconnected."

'A recently identified autoimmune disorder called vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, and somatic (VEXAS) provides insight into the synergistic effects of genetic perturbations and stress responses leading to autoinflammation.'

#OTD 15 August 1892 Louis de Broglie was born. He postulated the wave nature of electrons & suggested that all matter has wave properties, today a central mechanic in quantum mechanics. De Broglie won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1929. He was the first high-level scientist to call for establishment of a multi-national laboratory, which became the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

'We have identified a neural circuit for innate male sexual behavior (Figure 7U). This circuit enables recognition of potential mates and motor displays of mating, rejuvenates sexual drive, and makes mating rewarding. Moreover, our findings show that the brain employs distinct neural circuits to generate male mating and aggression.'
