Summary: Food odors and pheromones biophysically constrain viral latency, and an effective treatment for all neurodegenerative diseases was proposed in this 2011 patent application “Pheromones and the luteinizing hormone for inducing proliferation of neural stem cells and neurogenesis“ See for comparison: Identification of miR-379/miR-656 (C14MC) cluster downregulation and associated epigenetic and transcription regulatory mechanism in oligodendrogliomas. The post- transcriptionally regulatory network of this cluster showed enrichment of key cancer-related biological processes such as cell adhesion and migration. Also, there was…

Gene expression evidence for remodeling of lateral hypothalamic circuitry in cocaine addiction (2005) This remodeling of LH circuitry could contribute to the chronic deficit in reward function that has been hypothesized to drive the transition to drug addiction. Lena D. van der Stap discussed her role in the publication of this article, which failed to make any assumptions about mutations and/or evolution. James Kohl Did you co-author Gene expression evidence for remodeling of lateral hypothalamic circuitry in cocaine addiction McEwen told…

Building one molecule from a reservoir of two atoms reported as: Cold chemistry with two atoms. They linked differences in the energy of photons from two different wavelengths of light, 700 nm and 976 nm, to the creation of the molecule NaCs*. They were able to detect molecule formation in the context of atom loss and NaCs* vibrational levels near the dissociation threshold. Detecting resonances that have not been previously observed appears to be the link from quantum physics to…

Yesterday, on the topic of vaccines used to prevent Ebola virus transmission, I wrote: …. There is no such thing as an extinct virus. Their ability to steal energy is biophysically constrained until nutrient stress and/or social stress cause their reactivation. I provided a link to The Darwin Code Today, I read about The misleading evidence that fooled scientists for decades After posting this comment to “The Conversation,” I learned I was blocked from posting anything to Facebook.

The long-range consequences of food energy-dependent social factors predictably link everything known about social odors called pheromones from the quantized energy in food to metabolism and biophysically constrained viral latency.  Sympatric speciation exemplifies what is known about how quantized energy links the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction to biophysically constrained viral latency in species from microbes to humans. In this review of biophysically constrained viral latency and biodiversity, I linked energy-dependent changes from angstroms to ecosystems in the mouse-to-human model of microRNA-mediated amino…

Summary: These findings reveal a new GLU biosynthetic pathway, which could contribute to some of the sunlight-induced neurobehavioral changes. The claims about new biosynthetic pathways should be placed into the context of what is known about the energy-dependent origin of all pathways. Researchers may have solved origin-of-life conundrum …the conditions that produce nucleic acid precursors also create the starting materials needed to make natural amino acids and lipids. That suggests a single set of [light activated] reactions could have given…

Summary: Kohl’s Laws help to explain what was missing from Darwin’s ‘conditions of life.’ Darwin knew nothing about genetics, which means he knew nothing about the epigenetic effects of food odors or pheromones. Ancient hepatitis B viruses from the Bronze Age to the Medieval period 5/7/18 We provide evidence for the creation of HBV genotype A via recombination, and for a long-term association of modern HBV genotypes with humans, including the discovery of a human genotype that is now extinct.…

Summary: The link from positive selection to one food energy-dependent base pair change and fixation of the mouse-model-to-human-specific EDAR V370A allele in populations on different continents attests to sympatric speciation at every level of examination that refutes the pseudoscientific nonsense of neo-Darwinian mutation-driven evolution. Reported on 5/3/18 as: SWAT team of immune cells found in mother’s milk  1) “There is a feedback loop,” says Yu.

Summary: Ecological variation is linked to ecological adaptations in all living genera via the creation of microRNAs and the sense of smell. Odor Perception on the Two Sides of the Brain: Consistency Despite Randomness Highlights •A random model predicts observed preservation of correlations in piriform responses •The model supports consistent agreement about odor quality among individuals The model fails to explain how the energy-dependent creation of microRNAs links pattern recognition to the creation of pre-mRNAs and biophysically constrained viral latency.…
