This Family Trait Could Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease and Early Death
3+ hour, 5+ min ago (275+ words) Children of centenarians had lower risks of death, heart disease, and high blood pressure, even after lifestyle differences were considered. If your parents lived to 100 and beyond, doesn’t that mean you might have inherited some of whatever was keeping them…...
Should we expect to live as long as our parents?
13+ hour, 1+ min ago (609+ words) Three cohorts of people with a centenarian parent were studied in one of the largest pieces of research into longevity to date. People with a parent who lived to 100 are likely to live longer, no matter what their lifestyle is…...
Copper and Iron Cell Death Pathways Offer a New Two-Front Attack on Liver
10+ hour, 4+ min ago (55+ words) Hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of primary liver cancer, remains one of the world’s most lethal malignancies, and its treatment options have changed surprisingly little over the past two decades. Now, a review published in Medical Oncology argues that…...
Chemists Craft a One-Handed Molecule That Disarms a Cell-Death Protein
10+ hour, 19+ min ago (661+ words) A single protein called BAX sits at the gateway between life and death for human cells. When tissues are injured, stressed, or deprived of oxygen, BAX springs into action, punching holes in the outer membrane of mitochondria and triggering the…...
Transposable Elements Drive the Birth of Vast Satellite DNA Repertoires in
13+ hour ago (597+ words) The genomes of true frogs have long puzzled geneticists. Amphibians are famous for carrying some of the largest and most repetitive genomes among vertebrates, and yet the detailed architecture of their repetitive DNA has remained poorly explored compared with mammals,…...
Chemists Program Alkenes With Switchable Radical and Organometallic Sorting
14+ hour, 35+ min ago (623+ words) Chemists at Wuhan University have unveiled a nickel-catalysed reaction that can build an impressive range of alkene architectures from the same simple set of starting materials, simply by changing the ligand on the catalyst....
Mussel-Inspired Coating Keeps Tiny Artificial Lungs Clot-Free
14+ hour, 56+ min ago (676+ words) For the smallest and most fragile patients in intensive care, the difference between survival and decline often comes down to a few milliliters of oxygen. Preterm and term newborns who develop respiratory distress syndrome frequently need mechanical ventilation, and in…...
DartUniFrac Brings Megascale Computing to Microbiome Diversity Analysis
15+ hour, 25+ min ago (512+ words) Researchers have introduced DartUniFrac, a new software tool designed to carry out UniFrac-based microbiome comparisons at a scale that was previously impractical....
Scientists Validate a Bacterial Lipase Model That Could Speed Up
15+ hour, 28+ min ago (658+ words) Obesity has become one of the most stubborn public health challenges of the modern era, and the search for drugs that can blunt the body’s absorption of dietary fat remains a major focus of pharmaceutical research. Now, a team of…...
Engineered Bacterial Teams Turn Sunlight and CO2 Into 1-Butanol
15+ hour, 48+ min ago (350+ words) Scientists at Uppsala University have taken a significant step toward a long-sought goal in industrial biotechnology: using sunlight and carbon dioxide to feed engineered microbes that churn out valuable chemicals. In a study published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Stamatina…...
