They still moderate every post I make there in case I suggest they step away from the blue crayons again.

Fear the crayon!

[World Community Grid] Research update from the MCM team (March 2024)
We continue to characterise lung cancer biomarkers identified in the MCM1 project. This update focuses on HSD17B11, a gene associated with lung cancer survival. HSD17B11 is a protein coding gene, relatively ubiquitously expressed across organs and tissues. It is a short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase that metabolises secondary alcohols and ketones.

Greetings,

For those that have the WCG statistics in their signature, it won't be updating anytime soon, whilst I was perusing the WCG forums, discovered in a thread, that user SNURK who did these signatures, has not been active since Feb this year.  No one has any idea on what has happened to him either.

Regards

[Mick Lindsay]

Thanks tazzduke, I've been wondering why there has been no new badges.
