  1. With a wary eye on Russia, Finland runs Europe’s largest civil defense exercise since WWII

    In a civil defense shelter hewn into rock, behind doors designed to withstand a nuclear or biological attack,…

  2. Fibrinogen, a key blood-clotting protein, forms multiple flat layers when it contacts air, rather than a single tilting layer as previously thought.

  3. A novel antiviral treatment strategy that inhibits the human enzyme N-myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) to prevent viruses from successfully assembling and replicating inside host cells.

  4. Researchers at McMaster University have identified the specific immune and metabolic pathway responsible for the muscle pain and weakness frequently caused by statin medications, offering a route to mitigate these side effects without compromising the drugs' cardiovascular benefits.

  5. A newly identified biological pathway explains how high-cholesterol diets degrade the liver's ability to clear low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from the bloodstream, a process that can be reversed using an existing investigational drug.

  6. Researchers have developed novel, preventive therapeutics designed to intercept and destroy metastasizing cancer cells before they can form secondary tumors in the brain. This approach targets specific enzymatic mechanisms to block the neurological spread of primary lung, breast, skin, and other cancers.

  7. Researchers have identified the TRK1 gene and its corresponding protein transporter as essential for potassium uptake in the multidrug-resistant fungus Candida auris, presenting a novel therapeutic target to halt its growth and prevent skin colonization.

  8. Common patters might be boring for us, but they are necessary to communicate with customers digitally in today’s busy world.

  11. A recent study has revealed that the highly lethal, primarily #neurotoxic #venom of fat-tailed #scorpions (genus Androctonus) possesses an additional, previously unknown biochemical mechanism that induces rapid blood clotting in humans.

  12. What is the primary function of red blood cells?
    A) Fighting infections
    B) Clotting blood
    C) Carrying oxygen
    D) Producing hormones

  13. Cells all require the transport of materials to maintain their function. In #nerve #cells, a tiny motor made of #protein called #KIF1A is responsible for that. Mutations in this protein can lead to neurological disorders, including difficulties in walking, intellectual impairment and nerve degradation.

  14. Just saw the phrase
    “Like Egg White As It Boils”
    And, I know what they meant was "Like egg white in boiling water". Is OK, I am not that dim.

    #eggWhite is not white until after you boil it. Before then, it is vaguely yellow. Odd to have a name that depends on being ruined first. (wiki note - 'albumen')

    The question then, my fellow corpses:

    What could *boiling* egg white be? Not #boiled. #Boiling.

    Is it possible? When? How? Does boiling always denature/cross-link the proteins? Can you stop that happening?

    Thinking of buying a Temu vacuum chamber (I bet they fucking do have them, shaped vaguely like sextoys, sure, but vacuum chambers nonetheless) just to see what happens.

    Maybe there is a chemical that can fill-up the sticky parts of the proteins so they cant bind onto each other? and I could boil it at room temp and pressure?

    Anyhooo, that's my odd thought for this morning.
