@oddlytruejp.bsky.social🧪 The yellow sulfur crusted on volcanic vents? Your cells make it too.
A Tohoku University-led team reports in Science: mouse and human cells make S8 and store it in fat.
Why so late? It won't dissolve in water and breaks apart when measured.
@wanjek.bsky.socialA familiar story: protection giving you an inflated sense of security. They call it the "safe development paradox." Here, it applies to levees.
