Crises Demand Strength in Flexibility Gulping sea water, My asthmatic frame panics But gripe beats wet lungs
Laud epiglottis. Thanks, elastic chondroblasts Weaving collagen
Flexibly robust. From my ear whisper guidance On resilience (Heeger & Rosenbloom, 1980) (Nam et al., 2014) (Kostović-Knezević, 1986) |

Your favorite Cell: Brown Adipocyte Fire provides warmth Like our brown adipocytes These cells release heat
They warm our blood flow1 Rich in mitochondria Have small vacuoles
Their abundance drops As age and weight elevates2 They are our fire 1Cater B., and Schucany W. (2008, July). Brown adipose Tissue in a Newborn.
