HIV mystery uncovered: How the virus reprograms host cells to create perfect hiding places
For over three decades, HIV has played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with researchers, making treating—and possibly even curing—the disease a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to achieve.

„Ein E-Masterplan, der zu viel verspricht. Laden so bequem wie Tanken, verspricht die Politik. Doch das gilt nur für zu Hause. Wer auf der Straße laden muss, kämpft weiter mit fehlenden Säulen und undurchsichtigen Preisen.“

Sustaining Life on Planet Earth: Metalloenzymes Mastering Dioxygen and Other Chewy Gases
MILS-15 provides an up-to-date review of the metalloenzymes involved in the activation, production, and conversion of molecular oxygen as well as the functionalization of the chemically inert gases methane and ammonia. Found either in aerobes (humans, animals, plants, microorganisms) or in anaerobes (so-called “impossible bacteria”) these enzymes employ preferentially iron and copper at their active sites, in order to conserve energy by redox-driven proton pumps, to convert methane to metha…

Okay, getting an early start on preparing for the JoCo cruise in the beginning of 2027 (assuming the world is still here). The overall setup will be the RetroTINK 4K (already owned), a nice 4K OLED portable monitor, and a sturdy MiSTer. I'm excited to see if the RetroTINK 4K works its magic on the portable monitor...even more excited to see if I can get back into running _Castlevania: Symphony of the Night_. We'll see.
