Husband and I are watching Barbie for the first time and all I can think is that this is a film about a neurodivergent-coded healer from a world of her own who arrives and goes "what went wrong here and how tf do I fix it" and honestly that's SO relatable 😭 #WitchSky

This finding potentially opens up new perspectives for the prevention and treatment of HIV infections.
• uni-koeln.de/en/universit...

The study has been published in Nature Immunology. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.
• www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧪🧵⬇️

ABSTRACT
Administration of HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies can suppress viremia and prevent infection in vivo. However, clinical use is challenged by envelope diversity and rapid viral escape. Here, we performed single B cell profiling of 32 top HIV-1 elite neutralizers to identify broadly neutralizing antibodies with highest antiviral activity.
From 831 expressed monoclonal antibodies, we identified 04_A06, a VH1-2-encoded broadly neutralizing antibody to the CD4 binding site with remarkable breadth and potency against multiclade pseudovirus panels (geometric mean half-maximal inhibitory concentration =0.059 ug ugml-1, breadth = 98.5%, 332 strains).
Moreover, 04_A06 was not susceptible to classic CD4 binding site escape variants and maintained full viral suppression in HIV-1-infected humanized mice.
Structural analyses revealed an unusually long 11-amino-acid heavy chain insertion that facilitates interprotomer contacts with highly conserved residues on the adjacent gp120 protomer. Finally, 04_A06 demonstrated high activity against contemporaneously circulating viruses from the Antibody-Mediated Prevention trials (geometric mean half-maximal
inhibitory concentration = 0.082 ug ml-1, breadth =
98.4%, 191 virus strains), and in silico modeling for
04_A06LS predicted prevention efficacy of >93%.
Thus, 04_A06 will provide unique opportunities for effective treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infection.

If you haven't already: Start weight training.

You don't have to gym rat out, or even buy equipment. Just put together some body weight exercises and do them regularly.

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.

We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

I keep coming back to this passage by Kelly Hayes about violence, in particular state sanctioned violence. This is why the corporate media consistently parrots the Trump regimes 'the radical violent Left' propaganda.

They Will Call You Violent
If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because “violence” is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as “peaceful” are, in reality, quite violent. Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of imprisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to “peace,” they are really talking about order. And when they refer to “peaceful protest,” they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

This is HUGE! Please share so people with ME/CFS can learn about this incredible medical breakthrough!!

It not only helps develop a diagnostic test, but also points to immune and inflammatory changes to aid future treatments. After 80+ years of no treatment, there’s some hope, finally!!

A new blood test demonstrates 96% accuracy in diagnosing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, offering a potential advance in reliable identification and management of the condition.

Novel blood test for chronic fatigue achieves 96% accuracy

Scientists at the University of East Anglia and Oxford Biodynamics have developed a high accuracy blood test to diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS).
