EDIT: Sorry, this came across rude, I feel poorly about the tone. I think I'll leave it up as is for posterity's sake but I agree there is a lot we don't know about these conditions. They have been sequenced pretty thoroughly

>Couldn’t it be pathogens that are kept in check by inflammation, which then also cause cancer to develop? In reference to this question. These conditions with prolonged inflammation lead to cancer in the absence of a primary pathogen. &

Probably not, given the multiple conditions that are "sterile" inflammation that lead to neoplasms. Consider the example of asbestos; the particles lodge in the lungs which lead to a robust immune response that attempts to clear i

There are deoxyribozymes though are far less common than ribozymes. DNA aptamers may also meet your definition of reactions involving DNA but not acting upon DNA.

I personally don't care for the challenge system because if the ABS is the ground truth, why aren't we using that for every single pitch? Why put the burden on the batter to say "tell me the correct call" when you could

It surely does. This website is a good way to visualize the common ancestor of the bottlenosed dolphin and zebrafish. It's the same common ancestor as a human and a zebrafish, or a bird and a zebrafish. It's an ancient ancestor!

Given the current state of the NIH, I'm not sure if we are "getting on this" with any diseases right now. I've seen quite a number of my colleagues end up retiring or stopping their research programs all together at a un

It's crazy to me that these companies are essentially holding up the stock market, but are hemorrhaging money on buying GPUs. The magnificent 7 have spent $560 billion of capital expenditures between 2024 and 2025 leading to $35 billi

Whenever I read comments from the people singing their praises of the technology, it's hard not to think of the study that found AI tools made developers slower in early 2025. >When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take

Good luck ever doing a clinical trial with this approach. Think about cancer treatment. If we have an intervention we know is better than the natural course of the cancer, then we ought to compare the experimental treatment with the default

Also, it's hard to comprehend how much the virus changes within one infected person. It's a common talking point in HIV seminars: the diversity of HIV strains in one infected individual exceeds that of flu worldwide in any given y

The discovery of the jotter style refill led me down a path of trying many different inks for my Rotring 600. I ended up liking the OHTO ceramic rollerball quite well, partly for the ink, and also for the appearance of the nib, which I thin

I'm no dietitian, but for the "cheap, broadly available protien" I think beans and lentils fit the bill. I do not know if they are sustainable, which you mention as a requirement in your post, but surely plant based is more s

The superior stool based test would be the FIT-DNA test, which compares favorably to a colonoscopy in sensitivity. These are covered by insurance in the US. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1311194

Because they are overworked? Most of the physicians I talk to want more physicians. My understanding is that the limit on residencies is a huge bottleneck, which receive most of their funding through CMS.

I don't know what kind of resistance study you would order if you don't have an isolate growing. I don't know how you could have a culture growing but not know the causative organism is a Leptospira spp. .
