“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” 📚 | Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass
Snow gently falls on Radcliffe Camera and surrounding historical buildings in Oxford, complementing the serene winter scene with bicycles parked alongside the street and a street lamp in the foreground.Statue of the Earl of Pembroke outside of the Old Bodleian Library. The statue has a sprinkling of snow on the top Snow-covered street in Oxford with the Radcliffe Camera to the left and historical buildings on the right, bicycles parked alongside.

#TickTock⏰! Udeehardt, LaiGuan NG, @drusqui.bsky.social &co show @nature.com that skin #neutrophils produce in a circadian manner extracellular matrix potentiating skin barrier & that after injury they create TGFb-dependent rings of matrix shielding pathogens & foreign molecules!

Matrix-producing neutrophils populate and shield the skin - Nature
A population of neutrophils in the skin produces extracellular matrix, providing a defence strategy by reinforcing the barrier properties of the skin and helping to block the entry of pathogens.
