Doing the periodic cleaning of used plasmid miniprep columns and realized in honor of Earth Day it may be worth reminding you molecular biologists: Plasmid miniprep columns can be cleaned and reused essentially indefinitely! Just add 1 M HCl, soak overnight and wash 3x w/ water. Save $ and plastic

A 64 y/o woman was admitted for acute kidney injury w/ nephrotic range proteinuria. Prior, she had 3 months of duskiness of distal fingertips w/ mottling. Renal biopsy showed glomerulonephritis w/ focal immune deposits that stained exclusively for C3 Clinical images in ACROR doi.org/10.1002/acr2...

Autopsy case with incidental ALECT2 amyloidosis with lung involvement. Essentially invisible by light microscopy. Wonder how often this is overlooked. 94% of cases had alveolar involvement in this study (PMID: 26912093). #pathksy #renalpath

Project Hail Mary is a beautiful brilliant film. But molecular biologists be warned there's a deeply disturbing scene midway through when Ryan Gosling's scientist places two eppendorfs directly next to each other in an otherwise empty unbalanced microcentrifuge & sets it spinning with wild abandon.

Metastasis is the leading cause of breast cancer mortality. Here, William J. Muller & team find the STAT3-induced cytokine CHI3L1 recruits neutrophils that break extracellular matrix barriers and enable cancer spread, using mouse models: doi.org/10.1172/jci....
