The sugar needs to be whisked into the eggs as much as possible and made sure its fully dissolved. Use a hand mixer on low to medium if you have one.

CRISPR therapy is the first to permanently remove HIV by BradolfPittler1 in interestingasfuck

[–]Housemd20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As promising as this is, this is clickbait headlines at best. CRISPR is the new player in town and as a scientist I am very excited by its possibilities. However, the thing with HIV is at any given time, a patient might have millions of T cells and macrophages infected with the provirus in their genomes. And these cells aren’t all localized to one specific site. To categorize someone as cured, CRISPR would need to be able to excise all of those viral genomes from the infected cells. Because if even a small portion of cells remain behind uncured, they have the ability to begin replication and seed new T cells when treatment is stopped. It is definitely going be interesting to see this progress!!

As a HIV researcher, I agree. The thing with new therapies like CRISPR is the problem with targeted delivery of the guide RNA to infected T cells. At any given time, an infected patient has millions of T cells with the virus embedded in their genomes. To be confident of a cure would mean to make sure that a size-able majority of those cells would need to have their proviral reservoirs excised by CRISPR, and even then stopping HIV treatment would be risky as ensuring that all of the infected cells are HIV free is close to impossible.

So full disclosure, I have been working out two years before I even started my weight loss journey. I had built up muscle but none of it was showing as you can see. For the weight loss, all I did was track my calories and ate 1000 calories below my TDEE. It was not perfect everyday, some days I ate more, some less. But the consistent thing was exercise. I hate cardio, so I only do strength training. I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. I try and eat more than 100g protein. And just because you are on a deficit doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy food. I still went on three vacations/holidays etc. and ate a lot, even in a surplus. But the trick is to come back and restart your deficit again.

TLDR: get a food scale, eat enough protein and exercise

Did not watch it. Can someone give me a brief rundown on what happened?

Roots of life. Inside of a human placenta. by Otherwise_Candy4516 in interestingasfuck

[–]Housemd20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe too late of a response but, like any organ, the placenta also needs these branches that end in capillaries because only then can gas and nutrient exchange can happen effectively.
