“Disease usually results from inconclusive negotiations for symbiosis, an overstepping of the line by one side or the other, a biological misinterpretation of the borders.”

Eyedea & Abilities always came with some of the best and most creative hip-hop. Their entire album E & A is next level with all the aspects you referenced. I love track #2, Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZVkW-HtSgA&t=9
Then why does bird flu have more invasive symptoms and a higher mortality rate compared to human influenza’s? I was taught by a virologist who’s been around the block many times and got her PhD in the USSR. She was adamant that a parasite never wants to kill it’s host, as this results in no longer being able to reproduce in the host and shortens it’s reproduction time in future host.
Most viral offspring are not capable of infection, as without mutations, viruses would not be able to reproduce effectively and could not adapt to changing environments. To disprove a hypothesis simply means one aspect of the statement is incorrect. So while the cause and effect occurs, the explanation for why wasn’t dialed. Or at least, this would be my guess for how it could have been disproven.
We’ve known since at least March that about 10 human cases of this new bird flu would allow the virus to mutate and adapt to humans. This is the 14th reported case in the states this year, and the first which could have been transmitted from human to human. We understood what was happening, yet have really done nothing to try to prevent it’s spread.
The mutation rate baked into Influenza’s reproduction cycle is much more elaborate than coronaviruses, and this isn’t exactly a bad thing. When a human catches bird flu from a bird, the mortality rates are pretty burly as this version of the virus attaches to the α2:3 receptor. While this receptor is found throughout the avian digestive and respiratory track, it’s only found in the lower lungs of humans. A lower lung infection will always be gnarlier than an upper respiratory infection. Human influenza viruses have a preference for the α2:6 receptor, which is found throughout our airway. This is the primary adaptation which occurs when influenza mutates to infect humans. But a virus is a parasite, so in their ideal world, they wouldn’t kill their host. Viruses often do the most damage when adapting to or having recently adapted to a new host. Hopefully, the mutation rate of influenza will result in a shorter pandemic compared to COVID if it ends up taking place.

Rise Against — Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
I mean, cellular/molecular biology is applied organic chemistry. It’s all chemical based in some way or another. I guess with T and B cell receptor formations, each receptor binding domain is made totally at random. So much so, they go through training to ensure they won’t attack self and are able to detect pathogen associated molecular patterns. Wildly, most T and B cells don’t pass training and get recycled, more or less.
So maybe, but you’re talking about the world on the cellular level, it’s all based on chemical reactions with environmental stimuli. To be alive requires responding to your environment, and chemistry is how that works at the microscopic level.
Immune cells form from stem cells. From start to finish in the stem cell differentiation process, four major changes occur. Some of these changes can have up to four potential outcomes each. Here’s a map:
While all cells react to their environment based on environmental stimuli and feedback loops, even bacteria and archaea, this is a great example of cell differentiation. All our cells started as stem cells, but the immune system’s continuous and consistent use of the process is very unique. It’s also the most elaborate and the image is surface level. Most the end cells pictured here will become more specific. Like there’s many different T-cells, even T-cells which change so much they don’t meet the classification of being a T-cell. The CD16 T-cell is a great example of this happening.
I feel like this is what you were looking for, but I’m not totally sure.
He’s truly phenomenal, basically the Harry Mack of spinning. Their set together is unreal!
Marc Rebillet and Thundercat had sets too, plus Hamilton Morris was going to give a lecture. The line up was pretty stacked overall and early bird tickets were $250, which isn’t unreasonable for a 3 day festival.
Yep! Insects can use their legs, mouthparts, as well as other specialized structures for grooming. In addition, some beetles actually use water to wash off dirt and contaminants. Other insects make and secret substances for cleaning. A common example of this is ants using formic acid as a disinfectant. Then, similar to monkeys, bugs like bees and ants conduct social grooming. This helps with the colonies overall health.
Fossify’s Messenger is awesome, it handles SMS/MMS plus it’s ad free and open-source.
Android user? Graphene looks like it’s worth the setup process more and more. Pixels are the only Google product worth while thanks to Graphene really.
Just like the link in the iOS section, there’s a link in the Android section. Both were in the first sentence, I believe. But I had to give the article another once over to find it.
I mean, the doc’s are available through the link. But here’s some screen grabs:
AFU: After First Unlock
BFU: Before First Unlock
BF: Brute Force
FBE: File Based Encryption
FDE: Full Device Encryption
FFS: Full File System
They were arrested for a violent protest that resulted in setting fire to a construction site which was building temporary housing for asylum seekers. Seems pretty straight forward they were protesting the state helping those seeking asylum, no?
Lethal Language Model
Well, only very specific viruses entry the nucleus, most often due to not bringing along enzymes needed for replication. Then, there’s transducing viruses and non-transducing viruses, of which only one will retain it’s genome in the host genome. Both occur near oncogenic gene locations too, which is why viral infections can lead to cancer, but this isn’t very common at all. IDK, guess I’ve always felt bacteria are way more complex and that it makes sense CRISPR comes from them. Bacterial viruses, aka bacteria phages, were the evolutionary pressure which lead to CRISPR’s development. But I’m a nerd and stay up to date with it all, so maybe that shifted my outlook.
Sorry for the delayed reply, but I studied in this field as welll, so curious why you thought CRISPR would be associated with viruses over bacteria or even mold/yeast?
It’s great for emails on account’s where they know you, like banks and doctors offices. It also lets you make em up on the fly instead of using the site or app. I’ve never had spam issues, but it does make the email less anonymous. So it’s a situational thing, but nice to just use DDS@xyz.abc when at the dentist or whatever.
You didn’t read the webpage, ah? While the site can pair folks up as an absolute last resort, this was designed for people to make the pact with a family member or friend. But if a person has no one whose word they can trust, the site is an option, yet the pact wasn’t exactly intended for them. But for everyone else, it’s a valid and amazing idea providing a breath of fresh air.
Third parties struggle to get on most ballots, as we’ve seen time and time again this year. Without being on enough ballots, they aren’t given time on the debate stage. Meaning they struggle to reach enough voters through alternative outlets to have any chance of making changes in this dire bipartisan landscape.
