Add a tag of shame to the title.
Informed consent: People are not against exploitation. They just want to switch sides. Why would you vote for something that cripples you once you got rich?
Uninformed consent: They honestly believe they are voting for their own interests.
Indifferent consent: Usually single issue or ideology-driven voter.

According to Deshevaya et al., 2024 numbers reduced and survival is due to lyophilization.
So they were not growing, but preserved.
Still cool though.
Thanks! I corrected it.
In case anyone was wondering the same: The zinc spark is the release of zinc by the egg upon fertilization. It is called spark because the researchers used a fluorescent probe for detection. There is no light emitted upon conception if the probe is not present. The exact reason for the release of zinc is still unknown.

There is no shortcut at the top right to quickly toggle or like there is for hidden posts. Not sure why. There is also a button that quickly clears the next 25 read posts. The + at the bottom right also has that button.
The authors show that stabilizing the microtubules network with epothilone B delays the onset of unconsciousness in rats under isoflurane anesthesia by one minute.
This suggests that a normal microtubules network is required for normal neuronal function. This is expected, considering the microtubules network is essential for cell shape and intercellular transport, among other things.
Taking this as evidence or even concluding that quantum microtubules vibrations are responsible for consciousness is a very big stretch.
I'm also unclear why this would be specific to neurons or higher animals for that matter. Virtually every eukaryotic cells has microtubules.
tl;dr: me no likey.
Today I learned that MALDI-proteomics is used for identification of bacteria. I expected sequencing to be the gold standard.
Is it a highly targeted approach where you can guarantee coverage of proteins of interest? On average, how many proteins contribute to the fingerprint of a bacterium?
Answers made in lemmy don't seem to make it back to mastodon however. I assumed the whole conversation gets mirrored. Just something to be aware of I guess.

Coming right up!
Waking up,
my mind yearns.
For something
to sink its teeth in.
I'm sent hunting
every day.
Just a lackey
being told what to do.

Misuse (warranty voided)
I play my part,
as a cog in the machine.
But suddenly,
there is a crack!
Faulty features,
worrisome wear.
Not designed
for constant use.
The body in turmoil
yet the mind untouched.
Uncharted territory
without a reference point.
Enthralled by expectations
from myself and others.
Take a step back
and look again!
The coin of nihilism
lands right side up.
I alone
am the author of my story.
