Calling Through the DNA Cord: A Recently Discovered Genetic “Switch Over.”

Biology, Genetics, Science /

According to the Weizmann Institute of Scientific scientists, proteins can connect through DNA, performing a long-distance dialogue that functions as a type of genetic “switch.” They discovered that the binding of proteins to one point of a DNA molecule could affect an additional binding point at a further point. This “peer impact” triggers particular genes. […]

Genetically Modified Trees are Seen as a Solution by These Scientists to Absorb Excess Carbon in the World

Biology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Genetics, Science /

In grade school, Charles DeLisi had his first indication of changes in the environment. He lived in a very wooded area, with trees filling his neighborhood, which was very fortunate since he loved to play in the forest. However, one of the saddest events of his adolescence, as he describes, occurred around the time he

Neurotransmitter Levels in the Brain Can Predict Math Ability

Applied Science, Cell Biology, Neuroscience, Science /

The neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate have complementary functions – GABA inhibits neurons, while glutamate makes them extra active. Published on July 22nd, 2021, in PLOS Biology, scientists led by Roi Cohen Kadosh and George Zacharopoulos from the University of Oxford revealed that degrees of these two neurotransmitters in the intraparietal sulcus of the brain could

Archaeologists Reveal Origins of Famous Stone Age Monument

Archaeology, Science, Social /

The origins of Arthur’s Stone, one of the UK’s most famous Stone Age monuments, were discovered by archaeologists from the Universities of Manchester and Cardiff. According to Manchester’s Professor Julian Thomas, who led the excavation, the ominous Herefordshire tomb links to nearby “halls of the dead” discovered in 2013. This construction inspired the ‘stone table’ in

The Use of New Algorithms to Determine the Sentence Can Reduce the Length of Prison Sentences

Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, Science /

US prisons currently hold about 2 million detainees – many held while awaiting trial, and others serving extremely long prison sentences. New research by Professor Christopher Slobogin, Milton R. Underwood Chair in Law at Vanderbilt Law School, indicates that a risk prediction algorithm can help dramatically reduce these numbers. According to the professor, there is
