  • Taken together, the study’s findings represent a crucial step forward in addressing many unresolved issues regarding Long COVID. The systemic increase in AMPARs provides a direct biological explanation for the cognitive symptoms, highlighting a target for potential treatments. For example, drugs that suppress AMPAR activity could be a viable approach to mitigate brain fog. Interestingly, the team’s analysis also demonstrated that imaging data can be used to distinguish patients from healthy controls with 100% sensitivity and 91% specificity.

  • The articles self summary pretty much covers the content:

    A study out of Japan showed how targeting genes can regrow teeth in animals. Now, the team has turned to a human clinical trial. By targeting the USAG-1 gene, researchers believe that they can help people without a full set of teeth regrow teeth. The team says that humans have a third set of teeth available as buds, ready to grow as needed.

    Sounds cool!

  • Fun.

    A kite surfer from West Sussex has set a new world record for the highest "tow up" after being pulled 1,587ft (487m) into the air by a paramotor then gliding back down.

    Doesn't quite match my intuition for the definition of "jump" though.

  • Aljazeera has a scant few additional details:

    Police said the officers were there to serve a warrant. At a news conference, Christopher Paris, the state police commissioner, explained that they were following up on an investigation that began the day before, but he shared few other details. “The general heading of that investigation, I would say,

    From the original article:

    “This kind of violence is not OK. We need to do better as a society,” Shapiro said.

    Seems like quite a juxtaposition there. I wonder what the "disturbance" was, and what de-escalation approaches were attempted.

  • I think the suggestion to just stitch around it is probably sufficient, but an earlier post in this community pointed me to using a speedweve to basically weave a little patch in-place, picking up stitches around all the sides to sew it onto the mended garment. Looks pretty cool if you want to go to that much effort.

  • Bummer, I had a pretty high opinion of RPI up until now. I would say 'wait and see what results get published,' but we saw how that worked out with the elections, and I can't imagine anyone would take that money without knowing the result they're expected to deliver.

  • If all the employees/execs agree, could they quit en masse and form a new company? I guess they'd need to build new factories. And maybe run afoul of non competes.

    But yeah, seems like selling your soul and then asking the public to ransom it for you is irresponsible.
