Cross-species experiments reveal that a less-recognized form of hearing loss may be widespread
Sensory cells in the inner ear interconvert sound vibrations and electrical signals, and neural connections carry the electrical signals to the brain. Hearing loss is thought of as damage to the sensory cells, but our results suggest that damage to neural connections may be more widespread.

Intrinsic suppression of lung innate lymphoid cells by RNA-binding protein, RBM3, through CysLTR1
Cytokine production from lung innate lymphoid cells plays a critical role in inflammatory diseases; however, little is known about how RBPs regulate ILC function. In this paper, we demonstrate the cell-intrinsic effect of RBM3 in dampening the production of type 2 and 17 cytokines in lung ILCs.

Everyone heard Omicron was less severe, but did not look at the qualifiers
Everyone wants a straightforward answer to what this pandemic means for them, and at some point, we must realize that something that is not visual that killed nearly 1,000,000 people nationally will never be straightforward.
