Immune cells don't only interact with the ECM, they also interact with surrounding cells in tissue as they migrate. This video gives me so much joy because there is just so much biology here to be discovered. Sticky cells! Here, immune cells are 🔴, ectodermal cells are ⚪. Happy #FluorescenceFriday

Not only is the new system demoralizing, every HHS employee had to spend time and tax payer money crafting 3-4 versions of their narratives because the guidelines kept changing. Imagine if we’d been able to actually do our WORK with that time?!?

This is the same thing the European "settlers" did to the people whose home is Turtle Island. They too were aided & abetted their Churches & governments. The parallels are astounding though not surprising. This is a chosen path to on-going suffering, death, & war for all peoples. This is genocide.

Talarico outraised every other candidate running for Senator in the 3rd quarter. His donations were all from small donors (less than $100) not billionaires. Which means he has millions of people donating to his campaign. The GOP should be scared. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AHt6_tXDn
