How do they produce such crazy papers?

#SnakeSunday is in full swing this week thanks to our Burmese Python (Python bivittatus) ambassador's amazing shed! How long do you think Howard is?

Combining comparative morphological analysis, field investigations, and molecular phylogenetic evidence, researchers confirm that 𝑂𝑟𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑎 𝑦𝑢𝑛𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠 should be transferred to 𝐴𝑙𝑝ℎ𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑎 as a distinct species.

🔥 Your entire immune system starts with one cell.

Every red blood cell that carries oxygen
Every platelet that stops a cut from bleeding
Every neutrophil that attacks bacteria
Every T cell that hunts viruses
Every B cell that makes antibodies

All of them come from the same origin: a single pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell hidden inside your bone marrow.

🩸 What this stem cell can become

With the right signals from molecules like IL-3, GM-CSF, IL-7, SCF, and others, this stem cell divides and chooses a path:

• Red blood cells to deliver oxygen
• Platelets to form clots
• Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils to fight infection
• Monocytes and macrophages to clean up dead cells and debris
• B cells that produce IgG, IgA, IgM, and other antibodies
• T cells that orchestrate your immune defense
• Natural killer cells that recognize and destroy infected or malignant cells

Every branch in the diagram is a decision point based on the chemical signals surrounding the cell.

🧪 Why this matters

Your energy, your immunity, your ability to heal, and your resistance to infection depend on how well this system works.
When hematopoiesis is disrupted, it can lead to:

• anemia
• weakened immunity
• autoimmune problems
• slow healing
• susceptibility to infections
• blood cancers

Healthy blood begins with healthy stem cell signaling.

Inside your bone marrow, millions of stem cells are working every minute to build your immune system from scratch.
It is one of the most complex and elegant engineering systems in the human body.

La confrontación entre un grupo de perros, la cámara como protagonista y el artista Francis Alÿs son los hilos del video "El gringo" que puedes ver en "¿No oyes ladrar a los perros?" #CulturasDisidentes. ¡Visítala de martes a domingo! 🐾 https://t.co/AzlEuYPcBV @

Happy birthday to the singular star Jane Fonda! Here she is giving her revelatory performance as Bree Daniels in Alan J. Pakula’s KLUTE (1971)✨

#節育環
本不想公開發這照片，帶血，有礙觀瞻。想了想，還是發出來給大家看看這邪惡的器物。
此節育環在我體內整整二十年，今天終於取出來了。當初為了不讓我們多生孩子，被迫將之安放體內，這二十年間，我的經期每次都因此被折磨的苦不堪言。
拍照，發布，只為紀錄這荒唐且邪惡的事件。
