MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

Don't know how it arrived, but i do know that I love it!

I call bullshit: Jewish safety is pretext. Make no mistake, the Trump administration is using antisemitism as an excuse to obliterate Title VI, undermine civil rights and incapacitate higher education.

We lost our beautiful, brash, inquisitive, single-minded, and determined Itsy last week to cancer. Thankful to have her for thirteen years. She was a force of nature, and even with the other dogs, the house feels empty. So are our hearts.

Active targeting of type 1 diabetes therapies to pancreatic beta cells using nanocarriers - Diabetologia
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterised by the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, resulting in lifelong insulin dependence. Although exogenous insulin can maintain glycaemic control, this approach does not protect residual or replacement pancreatic beta cells from immune-mediated death. Current therapeutics designed to protect functional beta cell mass or promote beta cell proliferation and regeneration can have off-target effects, resulting in higher dose requirements and adverse side effects. Targeted drug delivery using nanocarriers has demonstrated potential for overcoming these limitations. The critical bottleneck limiting the development of beta cell-targeted therapies is a lack of highly specific beta cell markers. This review provides an overview of the use of nanocarriers for cell-targeted delivery and the current state of the field of beta cell targeting. Technologies such as systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) aptamer selection, phage display screening, and omics datasets from human samples are highlighted as tools to identify novel beta cell-specific targets that can be combined with nanocarriers for targeted delivery of therapeutics. Ultimately, beta cell-targeted therapies using nanocarriers present a unique opportunity to develop tailored treatments for each stage of type 1 diabetes with the goal of providing individuals with treatment options that prevent further progression or reverse the course of the disease.

Our snow this afternoon at 5000' in Northern Arizona. It was supposed to rain. So glad it turned to snow instead.
