I wonder do they actually believe themselves the BS they spew or are they among each other laughing about the idiots who believe them still.

Especially since they are not allowed to look at their work email which is the only way to find out if they still have a job.

Every physician knows this is absolute BS. And might indicate that he has serious cardiac issues.

And it’s not even a thing nor is it something the ECG tells you.

You had a point. Should have made it more accessible in general.

grimmrad 🧬🎼🖼️🏛️ @grimmrad.bsky.social · 1d

Then don't. Surprised that there are scientists posting their work?
But for your benefit - ferroptosis is an iron induced form of cell death that can be used to treat cancer under the right circumstances but it is so far difficult to see the effects of such therapies. This might change that.

Guess why we are so deep in debt?
Oh yes, it was all given to billionaires.

We utilized CJ215 for in vivo imaging of ferroptosis in tumor-bearing animals and also demonstrated that its uptake is correlated with higher lipid peroxidation. Overall, CJ215 is a great tool to monitor lipid peroxidation (ferroptosis) and therapeutic response in vivo.
