As part of #dryjanuary , it is important to know that the metabolite of alcohol, acetaldehyde, is a class one carcinogen. If you are alcohol intolerant, you will accumulate acetaldehyde, that over time can cause DNA damage that can lead to cancer. #alcohol #genetics #Aldh2

Putting together a talk tomorrow titled inside the editors mind for OSU AAPS. Something on my mind is that the Pokémon Zubat “mini-review” article about COVID-19 is still online 4 years later. Great fictional writing. Great article to discuss for journal club. biomedgrid.com/pdf/AJBSR.MS....
