Research has an economic return multiplier >1. So taxes don't even really pay for research. Research more than pays for itself, the taxes are just used to kick-start the positive economic cycle. The more money invested in research, the better the economy.

Hi BlueSky #immunology folk! Advice- Looking to develop method to isolate immune cells from human muscle biopsies. Issues arise with cleavage of certain receptors. Any suggestions? Currently planning working with Collagenase B, but has its limitations. Thanks!

There is significant variation in the progenitor cell response to exercise. A contributing factor to this variation is cardiorespiratory fitness. The fitter you are, the higher the absolute intensity you exercise at, resulting in more progenitor cell mobilisation
In this #ShortCommunciation article, @drmarkross.bsky.social (@heriotwattuni.bsky.social) et al. examine the influence of cardiorespiratory fitness on the magnitude of progenitor cell trafficking into and out of the blood!
