AND YET IT MOVES FREE TRIAL

Science historian Antonio Favaro dedicated four decades to the study and contextualization of Galileo’s life and work, eventually producing the monumental book Le Opere di Galileo Galilei ( The Works of Galileo Galilei). But did he say it at all? If not, when and how did the myth about this motto start circulating? We can also be certain that he did not (as legend has it) mutter that phrase in front of the inquisitors.

AND YET IT MOVES FREE TRIAL

His bitterness about the trial the fact that he had been forced to abjure and recant his life’s work the humiliating reality that his book Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems had been put on the Church’s Index of Prohibited Books and his deep contempt for the inquisitors who judged him continually occupied his mind for all the years following the trial. It was only after the trial, angered by his conviction no doubt, that he was said to have muttered to the inquisitors, “ Eppur si muove”(“And yet it moves)”, as if to say that they may have won this battle, but in the end, truth would win out.īut did Galileo really utter those famous words? There is no doubt that he thought along those lines. That brings us to “and yet.” As much as Galileo may have hoped to convince the Church that in moving Earth from its anointed position, he was not contradicting Scripture, he did not fully appreciate that Church officials could not accept what they regarded as his impudent invasion into their exclusive province: theology.ĭuring his trial for suspicion of heresy, Galileo chose his words carefully. Although he could not prove it, his astronomical observations and his experiments in mechanics led him to conclude that Earth and the other planets were revolving around the sun. Galileo was convinced that model was wrong. “It moves” was a startling denial of the notion, adopted by the Catholic Church at the time, that Earth was at the center of the universe and therefore stood still. 18: 9699.“And yet it moves.” This may be the most famous line attributed to the renowned scientist Galileo Galilei.

And Yet It Moves: Oxidation of the Nuclear Autoantigen La/SS-B Is the Driving Force for Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Shuttling. However, the deprivation of intracellular reducing agents in endothelial cells makes endothelial cells sensitive to a redox-dependent shuttling of La protein.īerndt N, Bippes CC, Michalk I, Bartsch T, Arndt C, Puentes-Cala E, Soto JA, Loureiro LR, Kegler A, Bachmann D, Gross JK, Gross T, Kurien BT, Scofield RH, Farris AD, James JA, Bergmann R, Schmitz M, Feldmann A, Bachmann MP. Endothelial cells are usually resistant to the shuttling of La protein, while dendritic cells are highly sensitive. The shuttling of La protein depends on the redox status of the respective cell type. We show that ligands of toll-like receptors lead to a redox-dependent shuttling of La protein. Moreover, we show that translocation of La protein to the cytoplasm can be triggered in a ligand/receptor-dependent manner under physiological conditions. Using these tools, here we show that redox-dependent conformational changes are the driving force for the shuttling of La protein. Moreover, we developed anti-La monoclonal antibodies (anti-La mAbs), which are specific for either the reduced form of La protein or the oxidized form. Recently, we showed that La protein undergoes redox-dependent conformational changes. Moreover, the driving mechanism for the shuttling of La protein remains unclear. Even until today, the shuttling and the cytoplasmic function of La/SS-B is controversially discussed. Unfortunately, these harsh conditions could also cause an artificial release of La protein. All of these conditions are somehow related to oxidative stress. This shuttling of La protein was seen after UV irradiation, virus infections, hydrogen peroxide exposure and the Fenton reaction based on iron or copper ions. Decades ago, we and many other groups showed a nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation of La protein in cultured cells.
