Scientists Hope to Cultivate an Immune System for Crops by Carl Zimmer Excerpt: The complex microbial world in the soil may protect plants much like our immune system protects our bodies. My comment: The speed of light on contact with water links the sun’s quantized anti-antropic virucidal energy from the de novo creation of nucleic … Innate immunity and multiplexing
Conditioning as an adjunct in the pharmacotherapy of lupus erythematosus Several studies have provided evidence suggesting that “placebo effects” represent conditioning phenomena and that learning processes influence the response to placebo medication. This case report describes an adolescent with severe lupus erythematosus who received cyclophosphamide (CY) paired with taste (cod liver oil) and smell (rose … RNA methylation (2)
For an example of the ocean of information you must swim through to get to an important fact about virus-driven energy theft and all pathology, see: The bacteriophage ϕ29 tail possesses a pore-forming loop for cell membrane penetration (June 15, 2016) They cite “PrDOS: prediction of disordered protein regions from amino acid sequence” (2007). Excerpt: … Amino acids and virus penetration
Major transitions in human evolution This theme issue focuses on key evolutionary transitions to understand the interaction of biology, behaviour, culture and environment. This issue is dedicated to Richard Leakey, whose critical discoveries have provided evidence for many of the key phases, and who has inspired much of the work discussed here. This issue is … Major transition ends use of silly theories
This is a brief history of events that led me to found the domain RNA-mediated.com with some follow-up on the latest news about cell type differentiation In 2012, I attended this minisymposium 006.Transcribing Memories: New Mechanisms of Activity-Regulated Gene Expression and Their Roles in Experience-Dependent Plasticity. Description: Activity-regulated gene transcription is essential for orchestrating the … RNA methylation
From June 14, 2015 Light induced RNA-mediated gene activation Eye-independent, light-activated chromatophore expansion (LACE) and expression of phototransduction genes in the skin of Octopus bimaculoides Energy-dependent RNA-mediated prevention of heart failure Small-molecule activation of SERCA2a SUMOylation for the treatment of heart failure Theoretical pseudoscientific nonsense Ancient DNA reveals how Europeans developed light skin and lactose … RNA-guided gene editing
On June 14, 2013, 1) Nutrient-dependent/pheromone-controlled adaptive evolution: a model and 2) Mutation-Driven Evolution were published with divergent/opposite conclusions. 1) …the largest contributor to the development of our personal preferences may be the unconscious epigenetic effects of food odors and pheromones on hormones that organize and activate behavior. If so, the model represented here is … Model vs theory: Progress report!
See my other blog posts on RNA methylation Thanks for your review of How Can Physics Underlie the Mind?: Top-Down Causation in the Human Context (The Frontiers Collection) Others linked the sun’s anti-entropic virucidal energy from energy-dependent changes in hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs in solution to supercoiled DNA, which protects all organized genomes … Masters of deception about nature (2)
Masters of Physics in Nature Excerpt: This interaction raises the possibility that particle velocity information and electrical information, and interactions between them, can be encoded by a single hair.” It also raises the possibility that “electroreception is widespread in arthropods, fulfilling functions beyond the detection of floral electric fields. My comment: Energy-dependent microRNA flanking sequences … Masters of deception about nature
Author’s copy: The Mind’s Eyes: Human pheromones, neuroscience, and male sexual preferences (2007) Abstract: The across-species genetic conservation of intercellular and extracellular chemical communication enables unicellular and multicellular organisms to functionally distinguish between self and non-self. Non-self olfactory/pheromonal input from the social environment elicits a vertebrate neuroendocrine response. The organization and activation of this neuroendocrine … The Mind’s Eyes (revisited)
