First, we have Jasmine, a self described screw up who has been reduced to helping her uncle with his PI business in Glasgow. It’s been a while since I’ve been introduced to such colorful characters. Cautiously tracing an accomplished killer's footsteps, Jasmine stumbles into a web of corruption and decades-hidden secrets that could tear apart an entire police force - if she can stay alive long enough to tell the tale. When Jim goes missing, Jasmine has to take on the investigator mantle for real, and her only lead points to Glen Fallan, a gangland enforcer and professional assassin whose reputation is rendered only slightly less terrifying by having been dead for twenty years.

Some of the molecular mechanisms that coordinate the final steps of cytokine secretion are hypothesized to involve binding of membrane fusion complexes comprised of soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs). While some cytokines are stored as pre-formed mediators in crystalloid granules and secretory vesicles, eosinophils are also capable of undergoing de novo synthesis and secretion of these immunological factors. Unlike T and B cells, eosinophils can rapidly release cytokines within minutes in response to stimulation. ![]() Eosinophils possess a range of immunomodulatory factors that are released upon cell activation, including over 35 cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines. In diseases such as allergic inflammation, eosinophil numbers escalate markedly in the blood and tissues where inflammatory foci are located. These granulated cells preferentially leave the circulation and marginate to tissues, where they are implicated in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity. Eosinophils derive from the bone marrow and circulate at low levels in the blood in healthy individuals. ![]() ![]() ![]() I started Elizabeth Eulberg’s The Lonely Hearts Club on Valentine’s Day - when I was having an impromptu Lonely Hearts Club meeting of my own, if I’m being honest. ![]() ![]() Can the queen bee of the Lonely Hearts Club actually mend her own?
