I’m metaphorically screaming right now. This is the piece of confirmatory evidence I’ve been waiting for since I saw this.

Something I really love about this particular work is it demonstrates a homeostasis point, “too much” is as important a mechanic as “too little”. Only doing a knockout isn’t enough to really understand the mechanics of biological systems.
