There is, however, a recent discovery that could make you look like a bodybuilder without ever having to lift a weight. Genetic “Natural” Bodybuilding In 1807 a breed of cow was discovered in Belgium that had extremely large muscles and very little fat. This breed underwent linebreeding unt...
'The vast majority of microbes are harmless. There are only a few dozen that can cause lethal infections,' says Thomas McDade, director of the Laboratory for Human Biology Research at Northwestern University. “绝大多数微生物都是无害的,只有几十种微生物会引发致命感染。”美国西北大学(Northwestern...

Now add an unruly ankyrin- B gene, and it may seem impossible to stay slim.The mice in the study eained mory seight when on high-lat diets. Heanett believes this is because once the fat cells received the plucose and start miking more fat, they become sensitive to other fat. Depite...

When I first heard about the discovery of a potential obesity gene on the news, I ignored it …. Nonetheless, I decided to read the research paper in its pre-publication form. Even though it is an inc
Moreover, the oxygen-sensitive HIF1α-AS1 is down-regulated in pulmonary hypertension and loss-of-function approaches not only result in gene de-repression but also enhance angiogenic capacity. As exemplified here with HIF1α-AS1, DNA:DNA:RNA triplex formation is a functionally important mechanism...
Nucleic acids are the molecules that contain and help express a cell's genetic code. There are two major classes of nucleic acids: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the molecule that contains all of the information required to build and maintain the cell; RNA ha...
