Oh I see🙂

pj win pɛ giveaway!🔥

we win for somewhere else😭🌚

only saints dey that yard🌚😭

😂😂 I'm surprised oh
So the 72 points no how did they get it

That was 1/8th 🤝
Even dumb nigga like me can solve

Interesting

🧬 Scientists Just Found a Hidden Layer of the Mammalian Genome

Our genes may be considerably more combinatorial than we realized.

Researchers have discovered that mammalian cells can take pieces of RNA copied from completely different genes — sometimes located on different chromosomes — and splice them together into a single messenger RNA. That hybrid RNA can then be used to manufacture a new protein containing parts encoded by both genes.

Using direct RNA sequencing, the team detected more than 30,000 candidate chimeric RNAs in mouse immune cells and more than 900 in human macrophages. Crucially, they then showed that at least one of these strange hybrids is not biological noise.

In mice, an inflammatory response causes two genes called Gsdmd and Tmem106a to combine into a chimeric RNA. Its resulting hybrid protein helps accelerate pyroptosis — the dramatic process in which infected immune cells rupture and release inflammatory signals. When researchers specifically blocked the hybrid protein, the mice became worse at controlling Salmonella infection. But they were also dramatically more resistant to lethal inflammation in a sepsis model.

Even stranger, inflammation appears to physically reorganize the genome: normally distant chromosome regions move closer together inside the nucleus, helping their RNA transcripts combine.

There is a major caveat. The detailed functional experiments were performed in mice. Similar chimeric RNAs exist in human immune cells, but scientists have not yet established what most of them do. The researchers themselves say it could take years to map their biological importance.

Still, if the phenomenon is widespread, our current catalogue of proteins may be missing an entire class of molecules hiding in combinations of genes we already thought we understood.

We finished sequencing the human genome more than two decades ago.

Apparently, reading the instruction manual was another problem entirely.

That's cute 🙂

It's been a while 🙂

🧠 Aging Brains Shift Memory Processing: As we age, our brains may transition from accurately recalling specific past events to blending them into broader, less precise categories, potentially explaining common memory errors in older adults.

📊 Hippocampal Activity Declines with Age: A study using fMRI found that younger adults (18-30) were 36% accurate in memory tasks, middle-aged adults (50-60) were 24% accurate, and older adults (61-74) were 20% accurate. This decline is linked to less stable hippocampal activity patterns.

💡 "Helpful" Patterns Become "Harmful": Brain patterns that lead to accurate memory recall in young adults were associated with memory confusion and category-level errors in older adults, indicating a functional shift rather than just a reduction in brain activity.

Of course 😅
