After decades of hard-won advances in improving human health, we (yes! we elect the politicians who make decisions) throw them away and propel humankind into a downward spiral of unnecessary suffering. We need to be more vocal in advancing sensible narratives: doi.org/10.1111/1751...

#MicroSky: Wow: Danchin et al suggest that metabolic guanidine might come from oxygen-oxidized guanine, not the usual urea pathway. A totally unexpected twist, and it might even act as a signal for managing reactive oxygen species. Science keeps surprising us! doi.org/10.1111/1751...
