On Wednesday, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued an alert noting that “transmission between bird and mammal species has been observed, particularly in fur animal … Read more
[ad_1] Summary: Our personalities can significantly influence gene expression, providing new insights into the mind-body connection. Using data from the long-term Young Finns Study, researchers discovered a network of 4,000 genes that adapt their expression based on individuals’ personality traits, impacting health and well-being. The study identified two crucial findings: a modular gene network expressed … Read more
[ad_1] During the last US administration, the CIA sent a team of analysts to Moscow armed with credible information about the Islamist threat posed to Russia by citizens of Central Asian states who had joined Isis in Iraq and Syria. Instead of heeding their calls, the Russian side accused the US of itself supporting Isis. … Read more
[ad_1] Summary: Researchers unveiled a novel approach to combat Alzheimer’s disease by activating microglia, the brain’s immune cells, to devour amyloid beta plaques, a hallmark of the condition. This study highlights the potential of using immunotherapy to not only tackle Alzheimer’s but also other neurodegenerative diseases characterized by harmful protein accumulations. The team’s method involves … Read more
[ad_1] Eggs have many nutrients, but recommendations for egg consumption have changed over the years. Research is ongoing about how eating eggs impacts various health outcomes, particularly how they may influence heart health outcomes in at-risk groups.

[ad_1] To engineer proteins with useful functions, researchers usually begin with a natural protein that has a desirable function, such as emitting fluorescent light, and put it through many rounds of random mutation that eventually generate an optimized version of the protein. This process has yielded optimized versions of many important proteins, including green fluorescent … Read more
[ad_1] Summary: Researchers employing computational models have made a significant leap in understanding the aggregation of alpha-synuclein protein, crucial in Parkinson’s disease development. This study marks the first to map the molecular dynamics of these proteins in detail, revealing how environmental factors like molecule crowding and ionic changes enhance aggregation. By simulating the collective behavior … Read more
[ad_1] RIGA, Latvia — In the aftermath of last month’s terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue outside Moscow, Russian officials not only have blamed Ukraine but also have repeatedly accused the West of involvement — even though U.S. officials insist they gave Moscow a specific warning that the Islamic State could attack … Read more
