Ninja viruses, a (free) radical take on aging and more in my picks of the week from RB
by Alejandro Montenegro-Montero in MolBio Research Highlights
Another week has gone by and some very interesting molbio blog posts have been aggregated into Researchblogging.org. Every week [see my inaugural post on the matter], I'll select some blog posts I consider particularly interesting in the field of molecular biology [see here to get a sense of the criteria that will be used], briefly describe them and list them here for you to check out.Note that...

RIP for MFRTA?
by ouroboros in Ouroboros: Research in the biology of aging
A prominent scholar of the CLK-1 story has called the coroner on the mitochondrial free radical theory of aging (MFRTA). From Lapointe & Hekimi:
When a theory of aging ages badly
According to the widely acknowledged mitochondrial free radical theory of aging (MFRTA), the macromolecular damage that results from the production of toxic reactive oxygen species [...]... Read more »
