Be warned.Ī reminder, if you need it, that Gaudy Night is the third of four books featuring Harriet Vane and Peter Wimsey. And now I have a lot to say about it and Spoilers ahoy, not just for Gaudy Night but for most of the rest of the Wimsey books. And when I got to the end, I started all over again. And then I realised that I was behind on my podcasts because I wanted to carry on listening to Gaudy Night rather than listening to them. And I was enjoying it so much that I got the book off the shelf too. But then I treated myself to the audiobook in August and listened to it. But until the summer it had been years since I had Gaudy Night – in full at least and not as a radio play. ![]() ![]() And over the years since then I have reread and relistened to the series over and over. One of my very earliest posts on this site was about my love of Peter Wimsey. So why am I finally posting it now? Well, I was writing my end of 2021 post and it was starting to touch on some similar ground, so I thought I ought to get this out there first. It’s taken me a while to get this down in writing in a way that I’m anywhere near happy with and I’m still not sure I’m quite there.

Moreover, postnatal deletion of INHBA/activin A could limit tumor growth in experimental models. Single-cell RNA sequence analysis identifies a characteristic subset of AMs specifically induced in the tumor environment that are abundant in INHBA, and distinct from INHBA-expressing AMs in normal lungs. Accordingly, follistatin, an antagonist of activin A is able to inhibit lung cancer cell proliferation. Inhibin beta A (INHBA) expression is upregulated in AMs under tumor-bearing conditions, leading to the secretion of activin A, a homodimer of INHBA. Here we show, using an orthotopic murine lung cancer model and human carcinoma samples, that AMs support cancer cell proliferation and thus contribute to unfavourable outcome. They are abundant in lung cancer tissues, but their pathophysiological significance remains unknown. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are crucial for maintaining normal lung function. ![]() |
