I was reading the following synopsis of a science article today:

Integrative FGFR1 Signaling (INFS), a new mechanism that plays a central role in adult brain stem cell development and prompts brain stem cells to differentiate into neurons, has been identified by University at Buffalo researchers.

There seems to be some kind of language bottleneck going on here.  Second-order abbreviations (the “F” in INFS stands for “FGR1″)?  What is the world coming to?  :)
