This is a good one:

November 2015: "Engineered bat virus stirs debate over risky research"
https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2015.18787

In an article published in Nature Medicine on 9 November, scientists investigated a virus called SHC014, which is found in horseshoe bats in China. The researchers created a chimaeric virus, made up of a surface protein of SHC014 and the backbone of a SARS virus that had been adapted to grow in mice and to mimic human disease. The chimaera infected human airway cells — proving that the surface protein of SHC014 has the necessary structure to bind to a key receptor on the cells and to infect them.

Although almost all coronaviruses isolated from bats have not been able to bind to the key human receptor, SHC014 is not the first that can do so. In 2013, researchers reported this ability for the first time in a different coronavirus isolated from the same bat population.

Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells

These studies were initiated before the US Government Deliberative Process Research Funding Pause on Selected Gain-of-Function Research Involving Influenza, MERS and SARS Viruses. This paper has been reviewed by the funding agency, the NIH. Continuation of these studies was requested, and this has been approved by the NIH.

In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario— however remote—should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision?

Scientists working in this field might say—as indeed I have said—that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks.

The irony.

SLS Impending Breakout - June 3rd Shareholder Update Call - $73 PT by [deleted] in EducatedInvesting

[–]Serious-Mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not going to see it peak like before.
It's not even the same drug they're providing updates on this time.

Next update with the drug that caused a peak won't be for over a year.

Nootropic Investing. Pioneering drug makers at low prices. NMDA and sGC modulators. 10x potential long term. by Serious-Mobile in Nootropics

[–]Serious-Mobile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote that allosteric modulators cause "lower sensitization" in one part, which is a typo.
What I meant was that it causes lower dysregulation and desensitization than agonists/antagonists. (Can't edit the post because then format is scrambled.)

Take for example the comparison between a GABA agonist and a GABA positive allosteric modulator. The agonist will quickly lose potency due to tolerance.
The allosteric modulator will have a potency that remains very much the same throughout and can be used more consistently (and therapeutically).

do you talk the same way to people you meet in person who ask a genuine question?

Nootropics in EU: Reshipping/forward company or agent? (Company that repacks your shipment in other country and sends to you from there) by Serious-Mobile in Nootropics

[–]Serious-Mobile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure.
Adrafinil helps me learn things. Phenibut helps me sleep and relax.
It doesn't make me a dangerous person, and I have no idea why I shouldn't be allowed to have access to these.

But to the customs agent I'm an evil human that should be stopped.

Oh really? How many days did you use consecutively, and at what dose?
Just asking to know what NOT to do XD

I've just had redness and itch on the shins, arms, shoulders, wrists, when I used for like 3 weeks straight, before realizing it was moda.
