Happy New Land

Quoting an example of medical jargon:

ABIN-1 regulates RIPK1 activation by linking Met1 ubiquitylation with
Lys63 deubiquitylation in TNF-RSC pp58 - 68
Slawomir A. Dziedzic, Zhenyi Su, Vica Jean Barrett, Ayaz Najafov,
Adnan K. Mookhtiar, Palak Amin, Heling Pan, Li Sun, Hong Zhu, Averil Ma,
Derek W. Abbott & Junying Yuan
doi:10.1038/s41556-017-0003-1
Dziedzic et al. show that the ubiquitin-binding protein ABIN-1 is
recruited into TNFR1 signalling complex in a manner dependent on
Met1-ubiquitinating complex LUBAC to regulate K63 de-ubiquitination
to activate RIPK1.

I suppose it is risky to use a quote that someone out there understands, as an example of the border of verbal coherence,(and thereby misses my point) but that edge, in my mind, reminded me of something Jan said, and, continuing our holiday freedom to repeat his words, I will share Jan's thought:

There is an actual physical component in blood that affects mystical attention.
