DNA 3D

A new 3D view of DNAMarch 13, 2012 *[+]* DNA packs itself tightly into a structure known as a “fractal globule.” The structure is unique in that the genome is completely unknotted. “Despite how densely it’s packed, you can pull on it, easily get to the region you want to transcribe, read it off, and put it back when you’re done,” explained Erez Lieberman Aiden.

neuronal function control

Few genes control neuronal functionMarch 15, 2012 *[+]*[image: luktgen] The magenta-colored structures are nerve cells that use odorant receptor 47b, which sense pheromones. Expression of this receptor is controlled by the transcription factor E93. When E93 is removed, the neurons lose their ability to fulfill their task of detecting pheromones, as evidenced by the deactivation of the fluorescent proteins (image to the right). The glowing, green cells, that use olfactory receptor 92a, are not affected because they are controlled by other transcription factors. (Credit: Linköping Uni... mais »

ADDICTION Sexually Frustrated Flies Are Driven to Drink By MAIA SZALAVITZ | @maiasz | March 16, 2012 | [image: UCSF / AP] UCSF / AP When she says no, the bottle beckons more brightly — for men and for fruit flies, according to a new study that found that male flies that had been repeatedly spurned by females were more likely to turn to alcohol to self-medicate their frustration. As a topic of study, drunk fruit flies may seem trifling, but what the findings reveal about the neurochemistry that drives behaviors like sex and eating may point the way to new drugs to fight both addiction... mais »

Censorship

Why is the word “salt” flagged by China’s internet censors? March 13, 2012 [image: censorship, censor, redact, china, The Great Firewall]Censorship is probably as old as language itself. Okay, maybe it’s not that old, but there were censorship laws in Ancient Greece and in Dynastic China more than 2,000 years ago. From the Latin verb *censere *meaning ”to appraise, value or judge,” the word “censor” was first used to name the Roman official who oversaw public morals. How censorship is implemented, though, shifts over time. Today, book burning has given way to internet firewalls and... mais »

A Maverick’s Lonely Path in Cardiology Posted on March 10, 2012 | 4 Comments *Essay 28* *Bernard Lown, MD* As I have just passed my 90th birthday, writing this essay reminds me of Machiavelli’s admonition when he was receiving final Communion on his deathbed. “Renounce the devil and embrace the Lord,” intoned the priest. A long silence. Then came Machiavelli’s whisper: “This is no time to make new enemies.”/.../
