Appetite regulation: Shedding new light on obesity
New information illuminating the potential causes of obesity has been appearing rapidly, beginning with the cloning, by Friedman’s group, of the mouse obese (ob) gene, as reported in December 1994 [1]. Many reports on related topics and other molecular biological approaches to obesity have followed, particularly in the last several months. These reports help to form a picture that places regula...
متن کاملShedding (blue) light on algal gene expression.
L ight in the blue region of the spectrum [blue light (BL), 400– 480 nm] is an ubiquitous environmental signal. BL can penetrate marine water to a depth greater than all other wavelengths, up to the limits of the photic zone ( 1,500 m depth) and may be linked to the evolution of photosynthesis (1). BL is also potentially dangerous because it is readily absorbed by intracellular photosensitizers...
متن کاملShedding Light on Light*
There are four books describing early studies and views on light, optics and vision that are considered to be landmarks in this branch of science. The first of these is Euclid’s Optica, published about 300BC, in which he postulated that light travelled in straight lines; he described the laws of reflection and described them mathematically. The second is by Ptolemy. He is best known for his 15 ...
متن کاملShedding light on bioluminescence regulation in Vibrio fischeri.
The bioluminescence emitted by the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri is a particularly striking result of individual microbial cells co-ordinating a group behaviour. The genes responsible for light production are principally regulated by the LuxR-LuxI quorum-sensing system. In addition to LuxR-LuxI, numerous other genetic elements and environmental conditions control bioluminescence production. ...
متن کاملShedding light on NSOM.
I took patience and hard work. Now, finally, researchers are seeing some sunshine break through what was once a cloudy beginning for near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Paul Barbara of the University of Texas–Austin (UT– Austin) is among a group of analytical chemists who have a deep respect for this tool and see it as a technique ripe with potential, ranging from chemistry to physic...
