Researchers at the University of California San Diego have studied these ultraviolet (UV) light emitting devices, and found that their use leads to cell death and cancer-causing mutations in human cells.

The devices are a common fixture in nail salons, and generally use a particular spectrum of UV light (340-395nm) to cure the chemicals used in gel manicures. While tanning beds use a different spectrum of UV light (280-400nm) that studies have conclusively proven to be carcinogenic, the spectrum used in the nail dryers has not been well studied.

"If you look at the way these devices are presented, they are marketed as safe, with nothing to be concerned about," said Ludmil Alexandrov, a professor of bioengineering as well as cellular and molecular medicine at UC San Diego, and corresponding author of the study published in Nature Communications. "But to the best of our knowledge, no one has actually studied these devices and how they affect human cells at the molecular and cellular levels until now."

watching an interview where pogis coach says strict calorie & macronutrient control doesn’t lead to eating disorders cause the guys buy in after [checks notes] seeing their weights go down and performance go up

#ed mention #eating disorder mention #please ask for/lmk about any other way to tag this I’m not sure what tagging conventions ppl are using rn #just so nonsensical. and followed by him saying it’s good people are talking more about mental health #like I agree cellular biologists don’t have the tools to help w eds but that doesn’t mean you can abdicate responsibility for the #restrictions that YOU impose

The obvious flaw in the "angels manifest their wings" trope is that blood would be unable to pump effectively enough to get oxygen throughout the large mass that would suddenly be extending from the human body. Assuming that Grace would not be able to account for this, wouldn't it be interesting if an antagonist had tried killing/torturing Cas by manifesting his wings? It would be slow and painful, and would effectively be turning Castiel's own body against him and highlighting the tragedy of Castiel's existence: torn between human and angel so much that it causes him nothing but pain.

#maybe i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure the heart wouldn't be able to pump blood throughout the entire #body if one were to suddenly sprout wings and that this would lead to cellular decay #so even if it doesn't lead to death there would be SERIOUS health issues.#as in nerve damage or loss of limbs.#anyway. poor cas. sorry that i like turning your body against you.#bri dont look #tw body horror #castiel #spn #angel castiel

Hi everyone, it’s Bisan from Gaza, I am still alive Alhamdullah.. it’s been 107 days of genocide, 15 weeks, 2568 hours of killing us, taking over our homes and lands in Gaza Strip, and forcing us to choose between leaving or death.. and sometimes we can’t even choose.. the Israeli air strikes simply kill us without any warnings. Now, we are without any connection, neither the internet nor the cellular, we can’t reach each other’s inside Gaza, we don’t know if our families and friends are alive or not, wounded or not.. still in their places or not! We take hours of walking and searching to reach someone, while moving became very risky! We can’t reach to you as well! The footage, information and news from Gaza are not reaching you as before because the Israeli army intentionally destroyers the signal towers and the servers, even using the E-SIM requires being in a high place which is very risky!. I borrowed this vest to upload this post! I am not scared of death, but of being displaced, scared of losing my family or friends, scared of being wounded and can’t have my treatment because the health system is collapsed in Gaza, and to die in pain! I am not scared of the destruction.. I lost my work place.. my home and my family work place and source of income, I am terrified of being killed by an occupier, and to be forgotten, one oppressed Bisan of a whole occupied people. The strongest governments and weapons manufacturers are supporting this genocide against my people, and you are our only hope! STRIKE globally and call for a ceasefire! Strike, protest, stop the economic movements and make pressure on your countries to stand against this and stop it, if ISRAhell don’t find the financial and weapons support, or governments to hide their crimes they will be forced to stop the genocide! Go to the streets, protest and Globally strike for a week, (21-28) January! YALLA Brave and free people of the world, CEASEFIRE NOW!

Cell Disruption Techniques: Sonication vs. Homogenization

In the realm of cellular biology and biotechnology, the efficient disruption of cell membranes is a crucial step. Researchers and scientists leverage various methods to break down cell structures, releasing intracellular components for further analysis and extraction. Two widely employed techniques for cell disruption are sonication and homogenization, each presenting its unique set of advantages and considerations. In this comprehensive guide, we explore these methodologies to unravel the intricacies of cell disruption.

Samples for protein and nucleic acid analysis must be prepared in two steps: tissue disruption to liberate individual cells and lysis of those cells to release their cellular contents. Mechanical homogenization and sonication (also known as ultrasonic homogenization) are two common methods used in these procedures.

Choosing the best approach for your specific application requires significant consideration. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and laboratories frequently utilize these techniques in conjunction with one another. Continue reading to learn how to choose a procedure that will not harm valuable or irreplaceable tissue samples.

Sonication: Probing Cells, Enhancing Cell Disruption

Sonication involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to disrupt cell membranes. The process generates intense pressure waves that create microscopic bubbles in the cell suspension. As these bubbles collapse, they produce shock waves, leading to the mechanical disruption of cell structures.

Benefits of Sonication:

Precision and Control: Sonication offers precise control over the disruption process, allowing researchers to tailor the intensity and duration of sonication.

Time Efficiency: Sonication is often a quick process, making it suitable for laboratories where time is of the essence.

Scalability: It can be easily scaled for small to large volumes of cell suspension.

Considerations:

Heat Generation: Intense sonication can lead to a rise in temperature, which might adversely affect sensitive biomolecules.

Equipment Costs: High-quality sonication equipment can be relatively expensive.

Homogenization: The Mechanical Force Approach

Homogenization, on the other hand, relies on mechanical force to disrupt cells. In this process, cells are forced through a narrow space or punctured using mechanical blades, resulting in the breaking of cell walls.

Benefits of Homogenization:

Versatility: Homogenization can handle various sample types, from soft tissues to tough plant materials.

Cost-Effectiveness: Homogenization equipment is generally more cost-effective compared to high-end sonication devices.

Less Heat Generation: Homogenization tends to generate less heat, making it suitable for heat-sensitive samples.

Considerations:

Less Precision: Achieving precise control over the disruption process might be challenging in homogenization, especially for smaller volumes.

Sample Heating: While generally less than sonication, homogenization can still cause a moderate increase in sample temperature.

Choosing the Right Method

The choice between sonication and homogenization depends on various factors, including the sample type, required cell disruption level, and the downstream applications.

For DNA and RNA extraction, where preserving molecular integrity is crucial, sonication might be the preferred choice.

When dealing with larger volumes or more robust samples, homogenization could be the pragmatic approach.

Conclusion

In the dynamic landscape of cellular research, the choice between sonication and homogenization is akin to selecting the right tool for a delicate task. Understanding the nuances of each technique empowers researchers to make informed decisions, ensuring optimal results in cell disruption.

As technology advances, researchers continue to refine and innovate these techniques, pushing the boundaries of what’s achievable in the realm of cell disruption. The journey from intact cells to liberated cellular components is a fascinating exploration that unfolds at the crossroads of biology and technology.

This blog aims to serve as a comprehensive guide, shedding light on the principles, benefits, and considerations associated with sonication and homogenization. With a thorough understanding of these techniques, researchers can navigate the complexities of cellular biology with precision and efficiency.

Scientists have successfully induced rhabdomyosarcoma cells to transform into normal, healthy muscle cells. It's a breakthrough that could see the development of new therapies for the cruel disease, and it could lead to similar breakthroughs for other types of human cancers. "The cells literally turn into muscle," says molecular biologist Christopher Vakoc of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. "The tumor loses all cancer attributes. They're switching from a cell that just wants to make more of itself to cells devoted to contraction. Because all its energy and resources are now devoted to contraction, it can't go back to this multiplying state." Cancer isn't a monolithic thing. It arises when cells from different parts of the body mutate. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that's most often seen in children and adolescents. It usually starts in the skeletal muscle when cells therein mutate and start multiplying and taking over the body.
