The infographic appears to be noob-friendly because of its title but then expects you to know what VPARP is and what it’s for
Isn’t it that rapping cartoon dog from the PS1?
VPARPAPPA The Rapper?
Man, it’s so wild how little we know about biology and how much we as a society spend on absolute, utter, bullshit, instead of figuring out how just the basics of us work.
I know it was never possible before modern computers, labs, and equipment, but we really should have like 1000x the amount of basic biological research going on that we do.
I got a degree in microbiology in 95 and I did not know about these. Heck I even did a rotation in an xray crystallography lab which was super into cellular structures.
my exact feelings, I was like how come I did not know about these
the new update to reality dropped last year. not your fault.
They apparently even patched the text books!
To be brutally honest, 95 was an eternity ago in microbiology terms. Human genome project didn’t complete till 2003. You must have some wild perspective on seeing us go from what are essentially a modern dark times to modern day
oh certainly. even at that time the xray crystallography lab was basically dying out as it was becoming more of a standard tool rather than an area of research.
From the Age of Enlightenment to essentially space flight, in a single career. 🤓🤌🏼
we think about people 100 or 500 years ago and it seems absurd just how little they knew about health and the body, but hopefully we’ll look the same to our descendants in as many years
When I was much younger, the favorite restaurant my family used to treat ourselves to every so often had tables decorated with olde timey newspaper pages. Still very much legible and permanently preserved in epoxy, the advertisements fascinated me — even way back when (≈/< 1930s), the same kinds of “revolutionary” “exotic” “new” tricks that <insert expert title(s)> hate, etc. squawked their bullshit for the punters & mouth breathers. Hell, even Pompeii revealed it’s been going on for millennia… Same as it ever was. 🙇🏽♂️🤓😅
All I know is that Vaults are NOT the powerhouse of the cell.
They’re not “for” anything. No evolutionary trait is. You’re suggesting intelligent design.
No one is suggesting intelligent design. On this planet we use what is known as “colloquialisms” in a non-professional setting. I hope your world learns them someday.
Strange thing to be insulted by, and strange response! It’s an interesting case. I’ve begun my documentation here
“It’s strange that you’re insulted by my claim that you’re pushing right-wing Christian lies on people.”
And why would you “document” something that’s already on a public website? I’m not clicking on your link to find out. For all I know, it’s malware.
Where on Earth did you get “right-wing Christian lies” from? This is truly remarkable! You’ve invented an entire dialog that never happened to justify a hateful and cruel behavior. Does your wife know about this?
That’s what intelligent design is. Right-wing Christian lies. I’m not sure why you’re now pretending it isn’t.
You seem so upset by something you think you heard. I feel very sorry for you
So you’re saying intelligent design is true? Are you the right-wing Christian?
Fair point but dickishly made
Claiming I was suggesting intelligent design when I obviously wasn’t is a pretty dickish thing to say, so…
Interesting. Makes me wonder if it might play a role in some physical illnesses we haven’t found a cause for yet, especially immune mediated ones.
Lead researcher has a youtube channel linked at the bottom of that article, too.
Incredible article and read that will send me down the rabbit-hole later when I have some free time!
Thanks for sharing!
Borderlands devs just came up with episode 5
Didn’t the Presequel have a DLC where you went inside Claptrap?
Borderland/Fallout crossover is episode 6. Vault Hunters get a surprise!
What if they’re only to make the cells bigger so our bodies don’t need to make so many of them to reach a total size as large as we are?
that wouldn’t be an unfounded hypothesis. surface area to volume ratio is extremely important in cells. by artificially lowering the volume (by taking up a lot of it with a structure) the cell can make better use of its existing surface area
though it looks like the volume of these structures aren’t that large comparatively
