The Nanopore Minion is still a thing, but it's sequencing and has higher error rates than competing short-read methods like Illumina's sequence by synthesis. https://nanoporetech.com/products/sequence/minion Sequencing…
I wasn't aware of the variability in thymic involution. I guess most studies focus on averages. If you have links to more information about these outliers I'd be very interested in reading up on them. The most recent…
Those are interesting cases. A similar but more ubiquitous strangeness is somatic mosaicism, specifically in the brain where it seems that "no two neurons are genetically alike." I was in line for the Terminator ride at…
Age is probably the biggest influence on a "healthy" immune system. I haven't kept up with recent research, but if memory serves the immune repertoire (diversity of T and B cell receptors) decreases essentially linearly…
I'm surprised as well. I thought the problem with cancer is that the immune system doesn't react/detect it and therefore might not provide a discernible signal.
Microsoft Research was a partner in the joint collaboration. Pretty sure this was the research that culminated in the T-Detect Lyme product that Adaptive Biotech launched last year (definitely some Adaptive…
It’s what you think it is, and it happens to more than just mice. I toured a bioengineering lab where they were actively severing the spines of chimpanzees to perform fiber rerouting experiments. I think the normal…
That's an interesting point and I completely agree, but wouldn't America's already real lack of "supply" buffer this a bit? I have to wait several weeks to get into my personal family doctor, and it took over 4 hours to…
I was surprised by a probiotic addition the other day as well. It was added to a vegan protein powder I bought off the shelf.
Are you insinuating that I didn't read the comment? I take such offense to this.
How else do we dissuade people who don't read an article from jumping to ignorant conclusions and filling the message board with tripe?
The article didn't focus solely on quins. An example of a different class: "Researchers have shown, for example, that aminoglycoside antibiotics can cause deafness by damaging mitochondria in the hair cells of the ear."…
Directly from the article. "Until recently, investigations into the side effects of antibiotics have focused on how the drugs disrupt the human microbiome, says James Collins, a medical engineer at the Massachusetts…
