The tipping point (revisited): G6PD

|

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is indispensable in embryonic development by modulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition via the NOX/Smad3/miR-200b axis (1/9/18) Excerpt: The proposed mechanism concerning G6PD and the embryonic development of zebrafish (Fig. 1) is largely based on the novel findings of the current study, particularly that G6PD knockdown modulates the EMT process. Conclusion: Taken together, these data … The tipping point (revisited): G6PD

Nutrient-dependent autophagy

Autophagy: cellular and molecular mechanisms Excerpt: Autophagy is a self-degradative process that is important for balancing sources of energy at critical times in development and in response to nutrient stress. Autophagy also plays a housekeeping role in removing misfolded or aggregated proteins, clearing damaged organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes, as well as … Nutrient-dependent autophagy

War Games: False Flag Terrorism

|

Sirius Cyantis (aka Sean Ovis) takes my claims about virus-driven energy theft and pathology outside the context of creationism.  Using his assumed name, he places them into the context of support for evolution. That’s an example of what happens on the “False Flag” Creationism FB group. In the context of combating evolution to fight disease, … War Games: False Flag Terrorism

Seemingly futile cycles are not thermodynamically futile

|

Scientists discover an on/off switch for aging cells The switch controls the growth of telomeres, the timekeepers of cells September 19, 2014 Excerpt: Understanding how this “off” switch can be manipulated–thereby slowing down the telomere shortening process–could lead to treatments for diseases of aging (for example, regenerating vital organs later in life).” My comment: Seemingly … Seemingly futile cycles are not thermodynamically futile
