How do inflammatory monocytes promote lung cancer metastases?

Collagen production… not from fibroblasts though, but cancer cells!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Scars are more than evidence of trauma. They're proof of resilience.

What doesn't kill you doesn't always make you stronger. Sometimes it reveals strength you didn't realize you had.

Pain is not just a teacher. It's a relic—a reminder of your ability to withstand adversity.

[Selena’s book and science corner @Life_by_Selena]

Being smart is not the only thing that matters. Being generous and kind, being able to listen to other people, are the qualities that are much more needed to be present in a person besides being smart or intelligent.
