To be clear, this changes gene expression, and does not alter DNA in any way.

I haven't read it so I can't compare them. What I love about TMOTAB is that it provides so much context for what historical events were informing the scientists, politicians and military leaders at the time, and it really gets int

Just finished my third reading of The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes. It really ruined most other history books for me by setting the bar so high.

If we're asking whether the policy works or not, we need to look at all inmates, not personal experience. What percentage of inmates receive early release? Does that percentage change when it's not given up front, but accrued over

This might be an autocorrect issue. My iphone 7 would do this rampantly with the swipe keyboard to the point where i concluded that no one at apple actually used it.

Oh, to be sure I definitely didn't mean to project any of my rage in your direction, sorry if it felt that way.

The effect of sugars certainly is plausible. I'm not saying milk is good or bad (I personally don't consume any animal products fwiw). I'm just saying that your fears about miRNA are completely unfounded. Look, I know you can

-80s aren't normally used as archives, rather they usually contain engineered strains of various organisms that would take a very long time to recreate.

This is a garbage paper. Look at figure 5 - every treatment but one, including the control, had roughly the same effect. It's all just placebo. also notice how few people were in each treatment group: just 10 or 11! You can see how muc

The claims here are just that microRNAs are delivered, not DNA, and that these change gene expression. Also, these Melnik papers are reviews, not studies - he's just summarizing other people's research (nothing wrong with that, in

You digest any DNA (and RNA) you eat. The pancreas creates nucleases specifically for this purpose. Why Pubmed even indexes this journal is beyond me.

Note that it doesn't cause mutations, it just changes gene expression.

Wet bulb temperature is not the same as temperature. At certain temperatures and humidities, sweating cannot cool the body. Texas is not reaching those conditions currently.

Additionally, it could make understanding the mechanism much easier. Viruses are only so complicated, so learning what they're doing to the brain to cause dementia might reveal how other, non-viral causes work.

Although the magnitude is small, the interesting thing here isn't that you could get a shingles vaccine to marginally reduce your dementia risk, but that if one virus can cause dementia, it's probably not the only one.

Regardless, vaccine is indeed the word used in the field. You should just update your definition.

You may notice that I didn't say it was a universal, inescapable experience for those with tinnitus. The question was why there is any relationship at all between hearing loss and tinnitus, which does hold in a large number of cases.

by jryb 3y ago
Many (maybe most?) tinnitus cases develop after some partial hearing loss. The mechanism is not known, but one hypothesis is that the brain is "compensating" for frequencies it never hears anymore.
