#Cassava is an important source of #food #carbohydrates in the tropics, and #magnesium is vital for #plant #growth and #development.
Read on to find out how these two things go together!

Hashtagged title: Using #SingleCell #SyntheticBiology to Unravel the Mechanisms of Biological Timing and #PatternFormation
Looking at network motifs for biological clocks, working in #Xenopus, building a synthetic cell (cool!)
what makes a tunable biological oscillator?
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.10.442602v1
can slow down clock (in model system) by knockdown of cyclin B

Tomohito Higashi, Rachel Stephenson, Ann Miller and colleagues demonstrate that ZnUMBA can be used measure changes in epithelial barrier function with spatiotemporal precision in Xenopus embryos, zebrafish embryos and MDCK monolayers.
I would have thought that the subset of people who 1/ love #Xenopus #frogs AND 2/ follow and admire #Ukrainian intelligence chief #Budanov was pretty small, like mainly only me ... but apparently Ukrainians have been super into this frog all week, how many secrets he must know!
I assure you all he wants is air and MORE FROG BRITTLE PLEASE.
