New Mechanism to Explain the Spread of Alzheimer’s Discoveredby Neuroscience News Researchers report exosomes help neuron-to-neuron growth and the transfer of oligomer amyloid beta, resulting in apoptosis. The study reveals exosomes may be a primary mediator of the pathogenic progression of Alzheimer's disease. Read more of this post
English reformation
Sometimes circumstances can change rapidly. In the 1520s, an English translation of the Bible by William Tyndale had been deemed heresy. But by the late 1530s, with King Henry VIII's cataclysmic split from the Catholic church, having an English translation of the Bible became not only desirable but mandatory. Its introduction helped usher in a fertile period of English literature, with such luminaries as John Milton, John Bunyan, William Blake, Alfred Tennyson, and eventually William Shakespeare, and also helped fuse the English identity with the Protestant faith:

World in data
Memorizing these three statistics will help you understand the world By Max Roser | June 26, 2018 One of my favorite websites is OurWorldInData.org. Based at the University of Oxford, it uses statistics—on everything from health and population growth to war, the environment, and energy—to give you phenomenal insight into how living conditions are changing around the world. I asked its founder, Oxford economist Max Roser, to share three facts from the site that everyone should know. Here’s what Max had to say. – Bill Gates/.../

3:01 FEATURES & OPINION Missing matter found in the cosmic web Not only is 95% of the Universe made up of baffling dark matter and energy, up to 40% of the remaining ordinary matter is missing. This elusive ‘baryonic’ matter is thought to be distributed through the Universe like a cosmic web. Now, observations of X-rays from a quasar, which shine through the web like a lighthouse through fog, seem to offer the first solid evidence of the mysterious matter. Astronomer Taotao Fang explores why the missing baryons have been so difficult to detect. Nature News & Views | 6 min read Refere... mais »
