Leveraging artificial intelligence techniques, researchers have demonstrated that mutations in so-called ‘junk’ DNA can cause autism. The study is the first to functionally link such mutations to the neurodevelopmental condition and the first clear demonstration of non-inherited, noncoding mutations causing any complex human disease or disorder. from From https://jamesjohnson10.blogspot.com/2019/05/new-causes-of-autism-found-in-junk-dna.html from https://jamesjohnson10.wordpress.com/2019/05/28/new-causes-of-autism-found-in-junk-dna/ from https://judywright2.blogspot.com/2019/05/new-causes-of-autism-found-in-junk-dna.html

Lindsay and I are back today with another video in our new Primal + Keto Made Easy Cooking Series. (Check out past videos here. There will be many more to come over the next several weeks.) This week we’ve got another great Primal + keto snack, and this time it’s a sweet treat anybody (Primal or not) will gravitate to. I’m cooking with two of my personal favorites: dark chocolate and macadamia nuts. Fair warning: be sure to make a good size batch. ? Macadamia Nut Clusters/Bark Recipe Ingredients: 4 ounces keto-friendly chocolate (75-90% dark chocolate) 2/3-2 cups roasted unsalted macadamia nuts (based on your own preference) Instructions: Simmer a pot of water.

Accordingly, such cancer stem cells are responsible for tumor progression and produce specific types of more differentiated cancer cells whose fates are predetermined. In a joint interdisciplinary project led by the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), researchers now show that cancer cells of glioblastomas—conspicuously aggressive solid brain tumors—manifest developmental plasticity and their phenotypic characteristics are less constrained than believed. Cancer stem cells, including their progeny, are able to adapt to environmental conditions and undergo reversible transformations into various cell types, thereby altering their surface structures. The results imply that novel therapeutic approaches, which target specific surface structures of cancer From https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-05-cancer-cells-quick-change-artists-environment.html From https://jamesjohnson10.blogspot.com/2019/05/cancer-cells-are-quick-change-artists.html from https://jamesjohnson10.wordpress.com/2019/05/28/cancer-cells-are-quick-change-artists-adapting-to-their-environment/ from https://judywright2.blogspot.com/2019/05/cancer-cells-are-quick-change-artists.html I’m obese and disabled.

The UK Telegraph reckoned that a “Low-fat diet including one piece of fruit a day could cut risk of death from breast cancer by a fifth” (Ref 1). US Today was similar: “Low-fat diet with more fruits and vegetables may decrease risk of dying from breast cancer” (Ref 2). Both example newspaper articles quoted two numbers: that the risk of death from any cause was 15% lower and that the chance of death from breast cancer fell by 21%. The first claim was untrue and the second was not From http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2019/05/low-fat-diet-breast-cancer/ from From https://jamesjohnson10.blogspot.com/2019/05/low-fat-diet-breast-cancer.html from https://jamesjohnson10.wordpress.com/2019/05/28/low-fat-diet-breast-cancer/ from https://judywright2.blogspot.com/2019/05/low-fat-diet-breast-cancer.html Our weekly series of diabetes humor at DiabetesMine features a cartoon by Terry Keelan.

This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or a human mind. ArchivesNo Archives Categories |
