TGF-β2 regulates tissue repair & disease processes including fibrosis. It was assumed to be resistant to activation by integrins, but work in @TimSpringerLab, led by Viet Le, shows it's activated by integrin αVβ6, with implications for therapeutic design: ms.spr.ly/6011gmR9D

Ron Johnson took his COVID test on a way to an local GOP dinner event, but went anyway. He defends not quarantining pending his results because he “didn’t anticipate” testing positive. madison.com/ct/news/local/go…

Our founding promise has never been guaranteed. Each generation has been called to bring us a little closer to our highest ideals—and history’s calling on us right now. So let’s all do whatever we can to help @JoeBiden expand that promise to all Americans.
Our nation was founded on a simple idea: We're all created equal. We've never lived up to it — but we've never stopped trying. This Independence Day, let's not just celebrate those words, let's commit to finally fulfill them. Happy #FourthOfJuly!

Visited farms worked on starting at age 9 every spring and summer. Was very hard, humbling and grounding. Used to have a rule that I would only hire people who worked on a farm. That rule didn’t last long because not many people had done it. Wish everyone could experience it.
