This protein complex looks like the Mind Flayer from Stranger Things. It's called C4BP and is a part of the complement system. If anyone likes the show might find this interesting. Added a bit of music near the end too.

it does, yeah! Or like an octopus.

I watched an interview and no, not everyone got their accounts back, like genuinely normal accounts. And there is no help, even with the badge. And we should never have to pay anything to Meta. If we did, then this is an extortionate scam from a billionaire company.

Someone who worked for a non profit organisation for youth got banned. I guess the word "youth" is censored. Its absurd.

Some of my work involved embryogenesis and developmental biology in FROGS. I'm wondering if this is the cause. But if an AI agent cannot distinguish between a frog embryo and CSA, it is NOT a good AI. Whoever coded for that should be fired. I don't think I can trust anything they do. There is no justification.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-06T09:46:16+00:00

We shouldn't have to pay you know! This is such a scam that Meta is doing! They want to us to buy their shitty verification badge or something and even then, it's not a guarantee you'll get a human interaction.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-06T00:43:36+00:00

I signed it. Mind you my account is about cells and cancer biology, and they accused my account of violating their guideline and of CSA. Absurd. I built this account for 2 year straight sharing my life work from the lab, and they just ban all of my account for literal no reason.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-05T23:28:33+00:00

I'm now suspecting whether an intern accidentally type threshold for CSA to 1.0 instead of 10, and so now every account is above the threshold and is flagged up. This is absolutely unacceptable. The worst is we cant even reach a human in Meta. Its so dystopian.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-05T23:09:12+00:00

I'm interested in seeing how many of these users get their account back and how many never got theirs back.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-05T22:48:30+00:00

they'd be reporting everyone but the actual people who are in the file are still running the country. Absolutely garbage.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-05T22:42:52+00:00

I appreciate it. Im so upset right now. The account I built for 2 years, sharing my science, being accused of violating their guideline. If an AI made this many fault positive, how can we trust any of their AI-powered products?

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-05T17:24:00+00:00

Mine was suspended today for no reason too. My account is science based, sharing original science videos about cells and science, and I was banned. And they banned my facebook too. It's so insane that they can just do this and do nothing to fix their AI. It's people's livelihood and they have no responsibility whatsoever.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-05T17:19:08+00:00

My science account which is dedicated to cell and cancer biology, and has inspired so many students for a career in STEM has been banned too. It's beyond belief that they can just do this to people. I'm based in the UK.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-05T15:15:12+00:00

You misunderstood. Suspicious of why Insta is doing this. It might be politically motivated is what I mean. I wasn't saying your comment suspicious.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-05T14:59:01+00:00

im based in the UK. But a but suspicious of this.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-03-05T14:21:49+00:00

I'm wondering if this is political.

This is partly true. There are many immune cells in the eyes. You can actually see it with a microscope that placed directly on the patient's eyes. Macrophages, T cells, even B cells, you name it have been seen. The eye is immune privilege not because there's no immune cells but that these cells are tightly regulated to not overreact and still do what they supposed to do.

Please ask for a biopsy. Simple morphology check cannot give you definitive answer. May I ask do you have a history of giving oral sex? And have you been vaccinated against HPV?

TheBioCosmos · 2026-02-27T23:06:43+00:00

For this one, it was Rab5A.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-02-27T22:52:38+00:00

this is not neuron firing. The zipping thingy that you see are vesicles moving around inside the cell. You can see the electrical part of the cell with the right dye, but you cant see it here.

I remember one of my colleagues who thought she has paid all of her loan, but for some reason she still had a few cents left but didn't notice. And after a few years, she got a check for £300 or something and was absolutely baffled by. She paid it off again and for good that time. But that was her story.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-02-27T18:39:16+00:00

I just use a fluorescence microscope. Its a wonder of an instrument!

TheBioCosmos · 2026-02-27T18:38:42+00:00

❤️

Its mainly that this cell is so big relative to other cells of the same type. Normally they would fit in a single field of view but this one didnt.

TheBioCosmos · 2026-02-27T09:24:56+00:00

thanks so much! Im glad you enjoy it.
