Accessory proteins RTP1S and SNMP1 support the expression of the insect co-receptor Orco in mammalian culture cells

The study of insect olfaction has been a hot topic in research for long time. No wonder! Small tiny fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) navigate through all your house and are able to detect that one orange in

Sexuality and predisposition to altered states of consciousness

In 1974, Tellegen and Atkinson proposed that ‘absorption’ is a core personality trait that consists of the degree to which one becomes so attentionally absorbed in sensations and imagination that there is an alteration of the sense

The proteins and their mRNAs may be located in different areas of the embryos

All proteins are synthesized in a cell in polysomes (polyribosomes) on the template (mRNA). That is why in molecular embryology, by tacit consent, a presence or absence of the specific mRNA in the cell indicates the presence

The grass is green and the nanosilver now too

Advances in nanoscience have been accompanied by improvements in capabilities to deliver compositional and morphological control of matter. Syntheses of Nanocrystals (NCs), where material science elements are addressed with organic chemistry precision techniques, are specially challenging and

The enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Rice is the most important staple crop for two billion people in the world. However, the production system where rice is grown submerged in water (paddy fields) is under threat due to changing weather conditions. Due to

Females with anorexia nervosa in Singapore

Behavior of Staphylococcus epidermidis in biosynthesis of silver and cadmium sulfide nanoparticles

Microorganism biosynthesizes nanoparticles using its enzymes and biomolecules which can act as reducing and capping agents. In fact, the nanoparticle is a produce of detoxification pathways. These pathways neutralize the toxicity of metal ions and trap them

Do you get lost?

Many people get lost in unfamiliar surroundings, and many others have problems to find their car in large parking lots. However, certain individuals get lost in places that they are supposed to know intimately, such as their

Motor nerve terminals with fast downregulation of Syt1 are more vulnerable in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is the most frequent genetic cause of infant mortality. It is caused by mutations or loss of the SMN1 gene, which codifies for the Survival of Motor Neuron (SMN) protein. SMN has an

Stanford scientists test links between extreme weather and climate change

A new four-step “framework” aims to test the contribution of climate change to record-setting extreme weather events. After an unusually intense heat wave, downpour or drought, Noah Diffenbaugh and his research group inevitably receive phone calls and

Donor in recipient – dangers in DNA profiling after allotransplantation

The incidence of cancers, which rank among some of the most common lifestyle diseases of the 21st century, is rising steadily year by year. The trend is attributable to the ageing of societies, increase in life expectancy

From waste dumping to clean energy: using our landfills for renewable energy

It is widely acknowledged that dumping our waste in landfills is extremely harmful to the environment. Landfills pollute our groundwater, our soils and release biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere, which contributes greatly to global

Stopping light drinking may increase death risk among healthy adults

Former drinkers, that is those who have stopped alcohol use, have higher mortality than lifelong abstainers. Higher mortality may be due to some disease, alcoholism or ending beneficial moderate drinking, which has been found to decrease mortality.
