I wasn't expecting this to get so much attention!! Here's a little more info ! -> Pseurotin-A is a PCSK9 inhibitor that can stop the production of "bad" cholesterol that incites tumor growth for prostate and breast cancers! Cont.
Pseurotin A isn't new, just as it stands its been super hard to get! Artificial synthesis was too cost inefficient, so other means are needed. This is one of those! This sample is purified from Aspergillus Fumigatus fungus! Cont.
This research can be used to then delve further in how best to extract more Pseurotin-A, so that it can hopefully be used sometime to treat cancers! :3
I didn't cure cancer guys!! I appreciate all the love and excitement over this but it feels undeserved haha, I'm just a small part of a chain of greater minds that can one day use this information to make really huge impacts!! This is just a lil part of all of that!

It blocks cholesterol production that would promote tumor growth! You can find some articles about its PCSK9 protein interactions in a couple of articles online :3
To all the new followers - hi there! I don't actually have much to post usually so don't expect too much! But I'm glad so many people found my little research thingy interesting! My only hope now is to not get recognized at work from the tweet haha

In another reply you posted an above view of the head, the shape of which places it close to being a vine/twig snake of some sort. The pattern alone doesn't stand out, but there's so much variation possible within a species that that doesn't rule anything out.
Very melancholy feeling at the lab now that the project is wrapping up, and I'll be heading out soon. Its definitely an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life for sure.

Being the last one of the trilogy I played, its perhaps a victim of circumstance, but I absolutely swept Dark Souls 1. Not a single base game boss took more than 3 tries, highest was Artorias at 5. Good game but everything just had such simple attacks and I did so much damage.
Such a painful feeling majoring in chemistry and having to take calculus courses knowing full well the NMR machine has a bright red "Perform Integration" button for me to use anyways
Does anyone else feel like the World's Biggest Asshole™️ when the artists asks if you need anything changed and you reply with changes? Like I feel like an asshole making them do any edit to their work even tho its literally what they're asking for 😭😭
