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
Pressure to be thin can be exerted by various sources both external and internal. Sociocultural pressures include the showcase of gracile models and advertisements for diet products and slimming programmes in magazines and on television, criticisms about
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
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

Does thyroid hormone deficiency in fetal life have adverse effects on cardiovascular system during adulthood?
Proper development of fetus depends on its genetics as well as the hormonal, metabolic, and nutritional environment provided by the mother. Deficiency of thyroid hormones (THs) at birth is considered as congenital hypothyroidism and the prevalence of

In the pursuit of personalized medicine; New technologies to study the gut microbiome
Humans have a symbiotic relationship with microbes that reside in and on our bodies. The human digestive tract contains as many as 1014 of bacterial cells, making it one of the densest and most diverse microbial communities
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.
The protein “CHIP” unfurls anti-aging activity
Researchers at the universities of Cologne and Bonn uncover the link between protein aggregation and aging. Not only does our way of life determine how long we live but so too does our genetic material. Of particular
