Let’s call for more in vivo data on growth, elasticity & stress. Time to fuel the field with experiments! 🔬🖥️📏🧪🌿

Interestingly, plant epidermal cells have a strikingly similar lobate shape, which provides structural rigidity. We teamed up with plant biologists R. Smith and M. Majda. In silico modeling showed that, similar to plants, the lobate shape of LECs helps prevent lumen collapse in lymphatic capillaries

Did you know that lymph vessels have puzzle cells?

They blocked all outside aid, and shot people on the spot that tried to pick grain from the fields left over from the harvest. This statue of a young starving Ukrainian girl stands in front of the Holodomor memorial in Kyiv, where people bring food to put in her arms.

In 1932-33 the Russians under the direction of Stalin starved 7 million Ukrainians to death in the Holodomor, because they would not bend the knee to Soviet rule. The Soviets took their harvest and sold it to fill Stalin's coffers leaving them to starve in the winter.
