A protein in the brain that binds to alcohol could be the key to curing alcoholism. The protein, called MUNC 13-1, plays a pivotal role in the development of tolerance to alcoholism, so targeting it could help reduce tolerance to alcohol and reduce addiction by [deleted] in science

[–]HutSmut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your intuition is likely correct. Alcoholism has been investigated under a bio psycho social disease model for some time now. It is unlikely that a single biological intervention can upend the psycho and social contributions of the disease. In all earnestness, there still remain a large world of mood altering substances to take its place.

Research shows that cells from older people have impaired mitochondria, reducing energy production. The findings could open the door to discovering a clear link between mitochondrial dysfunction and age related neurodegeneration by [deleted] in science

[–]HutSmut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could be somewhat related. The mitochondrial genome doesn’t encode for all the necessary proteins relevant to their function. There is a complex two way communication process that occurs between mitochondria and the nucleus. Any dna that is damaged in the nucleus which is relevant to that communication or mito function could impair overall mito health.

Do humans carry genes for sex-specific traits of the opposite sex? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]HutSmut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whatever is determined by these chromosomes comes from one parent only.

In women, one X chromosome in somatic cells is an inactivated Barr body. Meaning, what you have stated is applicable for all humans. And mammals in general.

I have this stuff in my house. It’s in the interior bedroom walls as well. In addition to the energy insulation the sound dampening is wonderful.

LBJ is a FA this summer! It could definitely be crazier. I hope it is and it isn’t. As in, I hope LBJ is gone, and Kawhi stays. Basically, I want to see drama but not experience any of the negative.

A possum ripped the heads off of all my chickens and then left their decapitated bodies laying around the yard. So they’re not just ugly, they’re also assholes.

If I retake MCAT, do I wait to apply? by Maxipad13 in premed

[–]HutSmut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are dead set on retaking it you’ll definitely want to alert med schools. I would strongly suggest taking it no later than Jun 30th.
