The infographic appears to be noob-friendly because of its title but then expects you to know what VPARP is and what it’s for
Isn’t it that rapping cartoon dog from the PS1?
VPARPAPPA The Rapper?
Borderlands devs just came up with episode 5
Didn’t the Presequel have a DLC where you went inside Claptrap?
Borderland/Fallout crossover is episode 6. Vault Hunters get a surprise!
Interesting. Makes me wonder if it might play a role in some physical illnesses we haven’t found a cause for yet, especially immune mediated ones.
Lead researcher has a youtube channel linked at the bottom of that article, too.
Incredible article and read that will send me down the rabbit-hole later when I have some free time!
Thanks for sharing!
All I know is that Vaults are NOT the powerhouse of the cell.
Man, it’s so wild how little we know about biology and how much we as a society spend on absolute, utter, bullshit, instead of figuring out how just the basics of us work.
I know it was never possible before modern computers, labs, and equipment, but we really should have like 1000x the amount of basic biological research going on that we do.
What if they’re only to make the cells bigger so our bodies don’t need to make so many of them to reach a total size as large as we are?
that wouldn’t be an unfounded hypothesis. surface area to volume ratio is extremely important in cells. by artificially lowering the volume (by taking up a lot of it with a structure) the cell can make better use of its existing surface area
though it looks like the volume of these structures aren’t that large comparatively
