If Golgi curvature behave like a crown or a hat to the Nuclei to secretory membranes we should rethink it in microgravity as continuous to ER routes whether for racemic mixtures of isoforms during synthesis or for refolding proteins synthesized, modified but accumulating in vaults/sorting packAging.

Golgi and Ramon y Cajal being scientific nemeses who shared a Nobel for the same technique (Golgi's) on the same tissues (neural) while reaching opposite conclusions will always fascinate me. (Ramon y Cajal was much closer to correct about the nervous system, for any who wonder.)

Tailoring precision in neurosurgery for better tumor bedding preserves borders for healing in GBM. Exhausting astrocytes and microglia gets consequences of frailed BBB to trash tumor biology. Layers & textures damaged after strokes are increased neuroinflammation & lack of *shadow* matter/ ECM. 🧠🦠☢️🏮

I revisit a Tolkien poem to assert an idea: trees walk shall be a floute.
To leverage increased neuroinflammation discussed by axon injury established signals to neurooncologists and GBM experts interested in plasticity to stemness conceptualized by ECM and memory. Revisiting your depth and images.

All that's gold doesn't glitter
Not all who wandered were lost
The OLD that is strong doesn't wither
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From THE ASHES a fire shall be woken
A light from the SHADOWS shall spring;
Renewed shall be BLADE that was broken
The CROWNLESS again shall be stemness. #GBM

That's the reason your country has the highest rate of mental illness and lack of access to public healthcare. Bipartisanship mentality that rules over solidarity and push "the wave" fascist like that oligarchs watching from afar laughing at the ones who expose themselves as righteous and arrogants.

This cover highlights the article Programmed cell revival from imminent cell death enhances tissue repair and regeneration by Kollori Dhar, Kautilya Kumar Jena, Santosh Chauhan and colleagues. The cover image illustrates the concept of “programmed cell revival”, a genetically orchestrated process through which cells recover from near-death states. Symbolizing this transformation, a phoenix, long emblematic of renewal, rises from its dying form, echoing the cell's ability to resurrect from a death-like state triggered by lysosomotropic agents. Adjacent to this metaphor, microscopy images depict cells stained for mitochondria and calcium during both the death and revival phases, highlighting dramatic shifts in mitochondria dynamics and calcium flux. Together, the visual narrative captures the transition from cellular collapse to full regenerative awakening, emphasizing the study’s core message: cell death may not always be final, it can be reversed through an intrinsic revival code that also holds therapeutic promise for tissue regeneration.
