Enzymes we use at home
by Rosin Cerate in Rosin Cerate
Enzymes are life's little way of taking shortcuts, speeding up chemical reactions to permit the diverse and intricate metabolic pathways by which living organisms do what they do. In addition to being filled with enzymes helping to ensure our bodies work properly, we've figured out ways to produce bucketloads of them on their own to help speed along various tasks.By sticking genes into bacteria, fungi, or cells from a hamster's ovaries, we can give them specialized instructions on how to ma........

Early wrong ideas about how our glands work
by Rosin Cerate in Rosin Cerate
Let's talk about glands! These highly specialized bits of tissue put together and pump out useful compounds to ensure we stay healthy and can do the things animals do (aim to reproduce, mostly). Exocrine glands release fluids such as sweat, saliva, milk, tears, mucous, and bile into segments of our digestive tract or onto the surface of our skin (and eyes). Endocrine glands toss hormones and other regulatory molecules into our bloodstream, to be carried to distant locales bearing instructions to........ Read more »

Feel Our Pain: Empathy and Moral Behavior
by Jalees Rehman in The Next Regeneration
"It's empathy that makes us help other people. It's empathy that makes us moral." The economist Paul Zak casually makes this comment in his widely watched TED talk about the hormone oxytocin, which he dubs the "moral molecule". Zak quotes a number of behavioral studies to support his claim that oxytocin increases empathy and trust, which in turn increases moral behavior. If all humans regularly inhaled a few puffs of oxytocin through a nasal spray, we could become m........ Read more »

Twin Sons Of Different Mothers…… Or Fathers
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
Can a pregnant woman get pregnant? Sounds like a riddle, but really it is superfetation. Getting pregnant in two successive cycles and having twins with different fathers really creates a problem in defining what twins actually are. Twins don’t have to be conceived at the same time, born at the same time, have the same father, or even be of the same “race.”... Read more »

Twins of Different Seasons
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
Twins are born near the same time, that’s one of the things that makes them twins. But do they have to be born close to one another? The record is twins born 104 days apart. The key is to get the twins past 25 weeks so the lungs will be mature enough, but if one twin is delivered, the second might be subjected to delayed interval delivery to give the lungs longer to grow....

You And Mom Are Never Apart
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
You have more in common with your mom than you might think. Microchimerism means that an individual has cells with two different genetic profiles; some are yours and some are your mom’s. They live in your body for more than 40 years and can affect your health. Some of your cells moved into mom too – and they may help her live longer and avoid breast cancer.... Read more »

Don’t Disrespect The Dizygotic
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
Spies try to look boring, but in reality they are much more interesting than the average Joe. So it is with dizygotic twins; monozygotic twins (“identical”) get all the glory, but they’re just a split egg, any female can do it. But dizygotic twins – certain families have more, Nigerian women have more, older women have more, taller women and overweight women have more. Now there’s something that looks boring but must be interesting.... Read more »

Twins That Share More Than Clothes
by Mark Lasbury in As Many Exceptions As Rules
Not every pair of monozygotic twins have the same chromosomes. Mosaic twins can be boy and girl, yet both babies come from a single zygote. The strange part is that the tests we run to prevent IVF problems may actually contribute to mosaic twinning. And have you heard of polar body twins? They’re ½ identical twins!... Read more »
