A new study has found that the genetic code of a single-celled amoeba contains remnants of an ancient giant virus, providing insight into the genetic evolution of complex life. The discovery reveals that despite being potentially harmful, these viral genes are kept inactive by chemical reactions within the amoeba’s DNA. This suggests a more complex relationship between viruses and hosts, which could have implications for our understanding of the genetic evolution of other organisms, including humans.Microbes reveal how our single-celled ancestors integrated viral DNA into their own genomes.Researchers have found remnants of an ancient giant virus in the genome of…

In the 1980s, researchers identified a hormone in the human gut called GLP-1 that stimulates the release of insulin to control blood sugar levels, a discovery that would eventually give rise to a new class of diabetes treatments. Known as GLP-1 receptor agoniststhe first Approved in 2005.The drug not only controlled blood sugar levels, but also appeared to suppress appetite, and some people who took it lost a modest amount of weight. This discovery led the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to First GLP-1 drug approved for weight loss in 2014Study participants taking the weekly injection, called liraglutide and sold…

First descendantsNexon Hope your farming is going well Valby. The First Descendant will patch the most efficient farm through a hotfix today. It doesn’t seem to be live yet, but at least for me, the hotfix should be live sometime today. we have Patch notes of changesThis is an attempt to add some buffs on top of nerfing farming after a translation error nearly caused it to be nerfed. more It was meant to be a top tier farming spot instead. It wasn’t. So, here are the changes: Valby farming will be double nerfed. Fewer enemies will constantly spawn, and…

A protein called interleukin-11 (IL-11) appears to play a key role in ageing, and scientists have been able to extend the lifespan of mice by up to 25 percent simply by blocking the effects of this molecule. The research team, led by researchers from the Duke University and National University of Singapore (NUS) School of Medicine, Genetic engineering They turn off IL-11 production in a sample of mice and inject other mice with an anti-IL-11 drug. Death toll cancer Both groups experienced reduced tumor growth and health conditions associated with the effects of aging, such as chronic inflammation and metabolic…

The Earth’s inner core is slowing down, and no one knows why. (NASA)While tracking seismic waves as they travel from the Earth’s crust to its core, geophysicist John Vidal noticed something surprising.The Earth’s center, a solid sphere of iron and nickel floating in an ocean of molten rock, appears to be slowing down compared to the Earth’s own motion. The inner core has slowed down so much that it is essentially rotating in the opposite direction.The findings of Vidale and Wei Wang’s study are: Chinese Academy of Sciencesrecently published in the journal Naturepresents the most compelling evidence yet that the…
