It is viciously addictive, yes, but it's all that other crap in cigarettes that lead to lung cancer and heart disease, two of the largest killers of all people. Would you rather people be addicted to just the nocotine, or the nicotine

sweet! I was hoping it could be disconnected down the middle. I'll have to reach out and see how involved that was.

I just nabbed a cheap one as well. Happy to join the community. Question for you though: it appears to be just an inch too big to fit into my building. How difficult is it to split into manageable chunks. Do the 4 modules separate without t

There's a number of papers out there that have been strongly influenced by the chemical industry. They actually hired some of the same lawyers that defended big tabacco, and have been caught editing Wikipedia articles Most of us academ

The closest thing to this is probably DNA origami for nanoscale structures. Beyond that, were not quite at the place where we can compute desired phenotype -> genetic code, except for when single enzymatic reactions are all you are doing

Just wait until you encounter vaporware, and it's upcoming block chain variant: plasmaware It's the newest thing, and it's going thermonuclear!

Let's be clear, it's most definitely not GPS. Most phones these days use Wi-Fi location tracking for the fine-precision it offers.

That's one hypothesis. Another one is simply that in some people, LDL is high because they have an infection that specifically turns on those LDL-making genes. It's known that many viruses hijack cholesterol pathways in cells.

It was shown over 10 years ago that sweet taste receptors are also expressed in the membranes of fat cells, and that artificial sweeteners activate these receptors in cell culture and drive up lipid storage.

Am a PhD, and you are correct. These people are however in the minority, and its important to ensure that people don't use this fact as false justification for not getting vaccinated.

Not sure why you were downvoted. This is absolutely correct and why the city is paying for street cleaning in the areas most affected, in line with the efforts of the City of San Diego in their downtown areas.

pssst .... APOE genotype predicts how much viral DNA for Herpes is found in the brain .... post mortem ..... It's almost as if Herpes viruses transport around the body the same way ;) (Bar plots in this paper are LOG!) https:/&#x

Viruses that cause hepatitis actually embed themselves WITHIN LDL Particles (the "bad" cholesterol) to transport around the body. In doing so, they hide from the immune system. APOE it turns out, the Alzheimer's gene, ALSO pr

My thoughts exactly! Here's how it might work : Get a construct into the cell that is only transcribed if specific pathways are overly active, effectively testing that cells "cancer status". This is the hard part..... Then ha

This all makes sense. APOE literally carries viruses around the body : https://bit.ly/2oRVFSr

This is getting absolutely rediculous ... Epoxy resins may very well have created the Diabetes epidemic, with genetic data backing it. https://bit.ly/2J3Btq5 And the chemical used to make Teflon was dumped into the Mississi
