Some of your cells are not genetically yours — what can they tell us about life and death? A tiny population of cells that are passed across the placenta between mother and baby challenge basic tenets of human immunology.

The more you know. We are all chimeras at a very small level. You likely have cells in your body from your mother and your siblings that were born before you. How this chimerism influences your immune system is beginning to be unraveled. #Science #ScienceSunday

Male seahorses give birth.
Male #seahorses have a pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side of its tail. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male seahorse’s pouch. For the next 9-45 days, the male carries the eggs until they baby seahorses emerge.

It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.

Structural variants in genes associated with human Williams-Beuren syndrome underlie stereotypical hypersociability in domestic dogs - PubMed Although considerable progress has been made in understanding the genetic basis of morphologic traits (for example, body size and coat color) in dogs and wolves, the genetic basis of their behavioral divergence is poorly understood. An integrative approach using both behavioral and genetic data is r …

Here is the scientific article.

A 5-Mb genomic region on dog chromosome 6, previously found to be under positive selection in domestic dog breeds, is deleted in humans with Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), a multisystem congenital disorder characterized by hypersocial behavior.

Inducing immunity against cancer via the gut Could a microbe that can smuggle antigens into the immune system of the gut provide a simple way to treat cancers?

Yet another unique way to stimulate cellular immunity against cancer.

“Using the gut immune system to induce cellular immunity is a unique approach,” Shirakawa notes. “And it should be very easy to extend it to other antigen proteins and also infectious diseases.”

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

#ScienceSunday

“Getting Franklin’s story right is crucial, because she has become a role model for women going into science. She was up against not just the routine sexism of the day, but also more subtle forms embedded in science — some of which are still present today.”

Here is another example where scientists have generated systemic immunity against human papilloma virus using nasal delivery of a cationic nanogel containing the HPV16 E7 protein as an antigen. In addition, an anti-tumor effect was seen. Game-changing!

No high temperature?

It's a meteor crater...

So we have all sorts of chemical reactions going on.

But NASA must have figured that in.
Shirley.
Ignore the clickbait headline.

"NASA announces a potential bio signature reaction"

Lacking a little pizzaz.

How a hidden brain circuit fuels fibromyalgia, migraines, and PTSD What if your brain is the reason some pain feels unbearable? Scientists at the Salk Institute have discovered a hidden brain circuit that gives pain its emotional punch—essentially transforming ordina...

#ScienceSunday

“…researchers discovered a new spinothalamic pathway in mice. In this circuit, pain signals are sent from the spinal cord into a different part of the thalamus, which has connections to the amygdala, the brain's emotional processing center.” 🫶❤️‍🩹
