Laminin

I am a medical facts NERD, probably one of the main reasons I loved Human Anatomy and Physiology

Here is a fact for you

The Laminin proteins main job in the body is to hold different things together, specifically Muscle and Skin. defective laminins can cause muscles to form improperly, leading to a form of muscular dystrophy, lethal skin blistering disease (junctional epidermolysis bullosa), and/or defects of the kidney filter (nephrotic syndrome).

Also, laminins promote the invasive phenotype of cancer. The interaction of cancer cells with laminin is a key event in tumor invasion and metastasis One of the mechanisms by which laminin contributes to the metastatic spread is induction of proteolytic activity.

In English Defective laminins can cause, muscle disease like Muscular dystrophy, Skin Blisters, kidney issues and can also be one of the main reason aggressive brain and breast cancer spread (metastasis)

You may be wondering why I am telling you all of this, I promise there is a reason.

It comes down to the physical structure of Laminin, the structure of the protein that holds many of the important things in your body together.

Laminin is shaped like a cross.

God literally took his image and made it into us.

We are physically made from God’s image.

Now you may be thinking “But what about all the bad stuff?” As someone who has walked a child through Brain Cancer and the number one question on my Ask God in Heaven list being “Why do kids get cancer?”

I can tell you that being made in Gods Image and from Gods Image does NOT mean bad things won’t happen to us.

God makes us in his image so we may represent him in what we do and how we walk through our life.

God made us to be Christ Like, Faithful and to lean on him. He made us so when times our tough we rely on our faith and the Christ like people in our lives to get through it.

If we didn’t and our faith was “defective” things might fall apart and we might just not be able to get through all the hardships that life brings us.

In Genesis 2:7 It says “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”

God literally made us from nothing and into his own image, through one creation of his into us.

We are made in the image of God, do not let your faith go “defective” and everything break apart
