🧪New study exploring albumin binding in salicylate overdose—very cool work. Albumin ↓ free salicylate in vitro; largest drops required high levels, but simply correcting low albumin was intriguing. Mechanistic, hypothesis-generating. First bench-top study for me! PMID: 41413367
Two weeks after release and the response has been genuinely awesome. 🍄
