P38, P39 and P40 channel receptor functions inhibit activities of BF-110, HE111 and HE177 leading to reduced expression of (SC)1000 in BOB
If you are used to reading research abstracts full of abbreviations for genes and proteins, how about this one? Do you think you get the general idea? Or do you just tune out on anything that sounds so technical? The title actually relates to the Battle of Britain (BOB) during the early 1940s, particularly how US-built fighter planes intercepted German bombers over the English Channel when the Luftwaffe was mounting daily raids on London. The P38, P39 and P40 were US WWII fighter planes, the BF-110, HE111 and HE177 were German bomber planes and (SC)1000 was a one-ton German Sprengbombe Cylindrich general demolition bomb. The fact reported had to do with the longevity of hundreds of thousands of people and the fate of Western Civilization was possibly at stake. The message is that when reading biomolecular-genetic research reports, you can be badly mistaken if you think you get the general idea but don’t really understand what is going on.
