The strangest thing is the supposed use of a human(?) cancer cell enzyme. While cancer genomes mutate a lot, I doubt that starting from some canonical human protein it is feasible to get an enzyme competitive in performance with enzymes fro

Sorry for the late reply. Few features (apart from be able to view wiki diffs) from my point of view: 1. Wiki edits in activity 2. User wiki edit history (= edits times, pages, size of diffs) Maybe in a long run it will be good to have Mark

Mixing H2O2 with ethanol in one bottle looks strange. EtOH should just oxidize and one ends up with a bottle of vinegar or pure water with CO2 dissolved in it. They ad some stabilizer so the active oxygen is not being released or is it so

Version control for GitLab wiki is still not there. Supposedly it will be in 13.2. For a small shop using GitLab local install versioning of the systems/software/lab protocols documentation is something hard to live without.

While this is clearly aimed at personal use, I wonder if it could be extended to serve as a lab notebook for a small research group. Storing time-stamped, signed Markdown notes with version control and with some hierarchy (daily notes, brai

Agreed. But for the heard immunity one does not have to go and vaccinate/expose to an attenuated strain of virus the whole population. Even getting a majority of say under 50yo immunized should have a big effect. These are special time

Virus can be asymptomatic for a number of reasons. Host factors, such as age, (speculation) history of the previous coronavirus but not covid-19 infections, etc. Going after covid-19 genomes in a group of asymptomatic and symptomatic 70+ y

Grow a beard and learn COBOL. More seriously: there are bunch of niches in the market. The fact that there are hundreds of open positions for X can also mean that for every job you will compete with a herd of ppl who learned X badly in a we

Interesting effort. On the other hand there is a bunch of other more popular and battle tested tools from Apache Airflow to a bioinformatics pipelines managers, such as Nextflow, Snakemake etc.

If you have an isolated tumor you try to cut it out. Except if it is in the vital parts of ie the brain. Primary tumor is not the biggest problem in most of the cases. Metastases are what kills.

Not if you treat the virus as a magic bullet eliminating metastases in the body. Without that property it is just a method to reduce, at it's best eliminate the primary tumor. Makes sense if surgery is impossible. But then we will pro

There are other known viruses with the same afinity to cancer cells. See the Newcastle virus affecting chicken. Same problem: usually human immune system does clear it up from the blood, so it can not reach cancer cells and wipe them out.

Maybe it is time to reinvent the wheel? Put the heaviest/extra loads on a fat bike or a wheelbarrow or 1-2 wheel trolley to be dragged in turns. You are unlikely to go slower than with +50kg backpack.
