The Science Of Banana Browning And Parkinson's Disease.
The banana is a carbolicious fruit that many of us do like snacking on. It’s a source of quick, “natural” energy. Professional athletes chomp down on them in between games to get their second wind. We love using it in other carby dishes, such as with ice cream (the banana split), pancakes, waffles or with bread. In fact, people who grew up in the UK in the 1980s and the 1990s would also have been exposed to little Eric Wimp, a wimpy looking kid who gains superhuman strength after eating a banana — and becoming Bananaman in the process.

The Robin Hood of diseases
The human body is a fascinating subject. Here's just one example testifying to the statement. Before, we dive into the disease itself, I want to do a little recap of the normal functioning of the body, to put the disease in perspective later.

The electron is a particle that is responsible for transporting electric currents. Between two different chemicals, though, the transfer of electrons from Chemical A to Chemical B can result in a change in their chemical structures.

What is the Importance of Luminex Assay in Early Drug Development?
The importance of the immunoassays for drug discovery and development is increasing day by day. Immunoassays are the sensitive assays used both for the pre-clinical and clinical stages of drug discovery and development. Such assays are employed in the evaluation of the drug response biomarkers, toxicity, and immunotherapy success. However, designing them is challenging as these are quite laborious to run, costly both with respect to time and sample input.
We're literally eating Plastic.
Okay, so we know that plastics are literally everywhere! We use them in almost all of our everyday products. It is like they are inescapable. You can find them in our clothes, at the grocery stores, on the shelves at your nearest supermarket, in your cosmetics, your toothpaste, lying on the beaches, floating in the oceans, lying on the roadside, flying with the wind in the form of fibres, even in the device that you're using to read this article. Most of this plastic ends up being carelessly disposed of without any recycling and then the problem begins where a majority chunk of it ends up floating in our oceans thereby harming our marine species and forming massive patches of plastic debris covering areas that could be larger than the area covered by a few small nations. Heard about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
Neuroscience
In the research article by McCabe and Castel their hypothesis asserts that brain imaging specifically fMRI and PET, which are usually displayed pictorially with highlighted brain areas of activation, have a significant effect on the readers’ conclusions concerning an articles credibility and are thus rated higher in scientific reasoning. They believe this is because it provides a physical basis for abstract cognitive processes. To substantiate these claims, they conduct three experiments to determine if a brain image has a significant effect on perceived credibility and what exactly about the image is persuasive.

Feeling anxiety is constant and on an all-time rise in the modern-day. With a constant connection to live recordings and so much information that gets processed keeps an ongoing thought-like jumping process in the brain. Before just stepping back and taking a look at where you stand, take a second, and listen to what your different body parts are telling you. I feel down, the solution is do something that feels good like biting into a piece of your favorite tastes or revisit an experience that made you feel accomplished. No doubt if it was something memorable it will serve a great purpose into shifting your mindset from a negative, to a neutral, to a positive quite quickly.
Marcus AzariaPublished 2 years ago in LongevityWhat's Up With The Stimulus-Receptor Signals In Our Body?
The idea of a lock and key mechanism was borne out of a need for security. We have valuables to safeguard. We have private issues that we don’t want to make public. We keep them locked up and hidden away. However, we do have keys to unlock those locks and gain access to our private stashes.

Is there a purpose to Genetics?
At what point in your life do you tell science to fuck itself? I understand that you can’t change your DNA but just because your relatives look a certain way or have certain health conditions, does that mean you to as well?

We face an endless barrage of sugar at every turn. Those doughnuts look great, don't they? What about the sugar in ice cream? Other cakes and pastries? Chocolate bars? Fruits? Cereals? Juices and soft drinks?
