Master Protein
Master protein found to enhance both muscles and the brain April 7, 2015 [image: Salk researchers and collaborators discovered that physical and mental activities rely on a single metabolic protein, ERRγ, that controls the flow of blood and nutrients throughout the body. In this image, ERRγ is shown (stained red) in the hippocampus, the area of the brain largely responsible for memory. The new work could point to a way to enhance learning.

Complex organic molecules discovered in infant star system April 7, 2015 [image: Artist impression of the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young star MWC 480.

Motivado pelo tempo de Páscoa e dos sucessos da Polícia Federal, li novamente a parábola do “mordomo infiel e esperto” (Lc 16:1-9). A estratégia do mordomo, na história de mais de vinte séculos é a mesma utilizada no Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais (Carf), agora investigada sob o nome de Operação Zelotes. Falta de criatividade? Ou será que os amigos se sentiram autorizados e até elogiados como espertos, pela própria citação do Evangel... mais »

Résultat – selon une étude publiée dans le British Medical Journal –, ces directives officielles posent des problèmes d’application pratique sur les seniors. Il pourrait tout bonnement s’avérer dangereux pour les médecins de vouloir suivre fidèlement les recommandations générales qui font pourtant autorité dans la communauté scientifique
