The defects in the Alport GBM allow plasma proteins to penetrate and become lodged or integrated, and they may interact with cellular receptors. Our data suggest that some of the mesangial matrix proteins in healthy mice come from the blood as well.

This reminds me of early days of email & listservs & out of office autoreplies. Someone on a listserv would have auto replies turned on but no limit of once per address. This caused an endless loop of autoreplies to the listserv, received by all. People replied "take me off" & the cycle continued.

Failure to award these grants for upcoming scientific conferences could be devastating for small societies and long-running research conferences (e.g., Gordon) that depend on this funding to support the exchange of ideas, networking, and exposure for junior scientists trying to build their careers.

What about R13 grants in any stage of review? They should all have a mandatory Diversity Plan included. And what about new R13 grants in preparation for the April deadline--should the Diversity Plan be left out, or are new submission guidelines expected?
