ITCHY

Does it show on the picutres exactly how itchy it is?
I mean the virus.
Always infection, impossible to cure and only treatable.
Viral breathing and thinking in every soul.
The smallest particle with the smallest genome outclevers everyone
and everything.
This is what they call evolution.
We are only messengers of the future which is ahead.
And soon very soon we will be replaced by semi-humans.
Finally.
Right now I would just like to be virus, so I can feel what it's
like to be successful, if only for a day, and because soon
we will all be dead.
And then it's too late to transform.
Or?


ONCE HOME

I can choose what I see:

CROSS MY BORDER

The concept of the brain being a 'privileged' organ arose from experiments demonstrated that dyes injected into bloodstream stained organs strongly except the brain (Erlich P, 1885).

This observation came from a special barrier that did not allow penetration of hydrophilic molecules from blood to brain, and was shown to be at the level of the microvascular endothelium of the brain (Reese and Karnovsky, 1967). 
This is the foundation of the concept know as the blood-brain-barrier (BBB).


BBB contains microvascular endothellial cells connected through tight junctions,
the perivascular space and the glia limitans. The perivascular space is filled with
lymphatic fluid draining from the brains parenchyma and perivascular cells.












The glia limitans is formed by astrocyte endfeet which separate the vasculature from
the brain parenchyma.
The glia limitans, or glial limiting membrane, is the outermost layer of proper
nervous tissue of the brain and spinal cord, lying directly under the pia mater.


The BBB limits ionic and fluid movements between the brain and the
 bloodstream.
 It provides the brain with nutrients and is involved in the removal
of waste products; it creates a stable microenvironment for the
brain that is not subject to the strong fluctuations in ionic content
that can occur in the blood stream.

Chemokines direct the trafficking of white blood cells in immune surveillance, playing a key role in inflammatory and infectious diseases such as AIDS1–5


All chemokines studied so far are secreted proteins of relative molecular mass approx7K–15K and fall into three families that are defined by a cysteine signature motif: 
CXC, CC and C (refs 3, 6, 7), where C is a cysteine and X any amino-acid residue.


We report here the identification and characterization of a fourth human chemokine type, derived from non-haemopoietic cells and bearing a new CX3C fingerprint. 


Unlike other chemokine types, the polypeptide chain of the human CX3C chemokine is predicted to be part of a 373-aminoacid protein that carries the chemokine domain on top of an extended mucin-like stalk.


This molecule can exist in two forms: either membrane-anchored or as a shed 95K glycoprotein. The soluble CX3C chemokine has potent chemoattractant activity for T cells and monocytes, and the cell-surface-bound protein, which is induced on activated primary endothelial cells, promotes strong adhesion of those leukocytes. 

The structure, biochemical features, tissue distribution and chromosomal localization of CX3C chemokine all indicate that it represents a unique class of chemokine that may constitute part of the molecular control of leukocyte traffic at the endothelium.

OLGA WAS HERE

Kremlin cold red square frozen.



































On the ICE spot circle. I look so calm and at peace... 
I was crunching my muscles, almost didn't dare to breath,
if I did I would fall immediately. 
It took me probably ten minutes to get into the circle and be able to stand.
Adventure.



































So, so, so cold at St. Basil's Cathedral. Brrr! 
Here I could stand but not smile due to the cold,
that's why I look like a funny fish.



































Can I GUM?




Which way?
Izvinitje, gde metro?!
I want to get out of the square!
Legs frozen to the ground....















RIDE


On my way home from work I found so many nice things! What a day and night!
And I got a ride in my favorite machine...



















 Night club Tram 7.
Drunk people were singing, falling down on each other, screaming, vomiting or just sleeping.

SHITTALK

To think that the garbage can be so beautiful?

HOME AT LAST

Somebody please punch me, it's just too much!
I can't take it anymore...
I mean is this it?
Is this all?
Back and forth, back and forth...
Pay me a tribute.
Will I die putting my secret into the grave?
Nobody will know but me.
What if it gets lost on FB?

Why are you standing there starring at me?

SMALL TALK

I am so disappointed. Another half an hour passed and did only 2 antibody analysis on two organs.
But, I had a great idea! I pack my PC, buy liquorice on my way home and finish all ten by midnight.

LIQUOR ICE

2 1/2 möss down. 7 1/2 to go och klockan e 20:33. Kl 20:55 har jag gjort 2 1/2 till.


























Piggelinen slut, Cola uppdrucken och lakrits beställt i 100-pack från Gottelisa:
http://webshop.gottelisa.se/ovrigt/sot-lakrits.html


























What a disappointment!  I heard everything by Chet Baker but not his Cuesta notte-wannabe 'Chetty's Lullaby'...
Do I remember the experimental set up? Or maybe I should show result that,
data.037 is upregulated in the CNS post HSV- infection. <3
This will save time and money.

EAT THIS!

It is now 14:39 and 1 mouse is done.
Countdown begins and I have 9 more to go, including statistical analysis in Prism and print out
of figures, to be finsihed by tomorrow.
I will post the result after each mouse done.
Kebab and cola light ordered for this purpose.
Wish me luck!

RATIONALITY IS DA SHIT


This post is about humiliation, frustration, self-pity, awe, competentce, screaming at the top of my voice, confirmation and confidence. I take up my time to write it since I have to get it out of my system. I tried doing the gym-lunch, punching the bag with my bare hands. I will buy an extra pair of boxing gloves for work.


Seminar lecturer told me at one seminar, after I asked a question of how this particular
cell could survive after this particular stress?

The response was:
'That is a very good question, not even the members of the jury asked this question.'

'That is a very good question, not even the members of the jury asked this question.'


Should I paste it in one more time?
I think I will go John Gurdon.





I apologize for the need of writing this post, I just need to ventilate, and how nice that this blog is mine! =)

KEEP PUNCHING ME IN THE FACE AND I WILL SHOW YOU AND THE REST OF THE WHOLE wide world JUST HOW GOOD I AM!!
JUST GIVE IT TO  ME!


And thank you for the great support from everyone who listened to me!
I feel better now.
