Wendy the Bodybuilding Dog Another discovered case of an inhibited myostatin gene was found in an English wippet named Wendy. Again, the genetic mutation in that single gene caused her not only to have twice the muscle tissue of regular dogs, but accelerated muscle growth, and decreased fat st...
The “fatome” is the unique balance of fats we each consume in our diets that influences our health. Our optimal fatomes are unique to us and depend on our genomes, microbiomes, lifestyles, and nutritional perspectives.

Long-term use of estrogen or progestin, or exposure to chest or face radiation before the age of 30 First pregnancy after the age of 30, not breastfeeding, or never giving birth Extra body weight, eating large amounts of high-fat food, or lack of physical activity ...
Using the dual characterization of (and similarly for ), one can show that has the same operator norm as . There is a slightly different way to proceed using Hölder’s inequality. For sake of exposition let us make the simplifying assumption that (and hence also ) maps non-negative ...
A type V intermediate filament protein in the nucleus that is mutated in several human dystrophies and at least one severe progeria. Cell senescence The phenomenon in which replicatively dividing cells enter a non-dividing or quiescent phase that is accompanied by changes in gene transcription and...
What is Epigenetics? Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes ingene expression(active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change inphenotypewithout a change ingenotype— which in turn affects how cells read the genes. Epigenetic change is ...
Gene drives replace a natural gene with a new gene, which then gets passed on from generation to generation. (Image credit: Shutterstock) A gene drive is a type of genetic engineering technique that modifies genes so that they don’t follow the typical rules of heredity. Gene drives ...
Thus, the fat accumulation is due to excess energy intake(in form of food)and low energy expenditure(in form of physical activity). If you have a pot belly and a large waist, that’s one of the clear signs that you’re storing this very dangerous visceral fat. ...
What about their beneficial effects? Any buzz you may hear is that lectins are really bad for you. That their intolerance makes you fat or has inflammatory side effects. They often fail to mention that depending on the type, they can have a neutral effect – not being bad or good – or...
