The pathway they study is conserved from mice to humans so the results may be relevant. That being said I don't know whether this pathway is involved in Alzheimer's disease. What's more interesting is the mechanism of…
Why is the 5S being tested in a case?
Is it possible that Apple will settle for lower market share as long as they retain a majority of the profits? I mean look at the PC market where Apple sells relatively few units but controls nearly half of the profit.…
Known makers make up less than half of known hereditary cases of ALS. That is in families with a history of ALS, only about 30-40% cases have been tracked down to mutations in a single gene. SOD1 mutations are the most…
I'm a SOD1 researcher and my heart goes out to you and the many patients suffering with this terrible disease and their families. Though rest assured, we're working hard to uncover why this happens and what we can do…
I think this method of teaching cannot succeed without some dramatic shift in the education system, which given its sheer size is nearly impossible. Furthermore, it may not even be optimal. The basis of this change is…
I'm inclined to agree with the ENCODE scientists. You could argue that even protein binding sites that have no biological outcome titrate away transcription factors from other "active" regions. The system would have…
I see minecraft pocket edition on that list as well and it is neither a $0.99 game or a free to play. I think this is evidence that people are willing to pay for a well-made product. For me this article is simply a…
I think the idea that something like Siri will end Google is silly. Siri is just an input-output platform for a search. I think the more likely outcome is that the best search engine will power the best Siri-like app.…
I can answer some of your questions. The longevity and age of onset of patients with familial ALS is partially dependent on the mutation they harbor. That being said, genetic background is an important contributor.…
I did ALS research in grad school and his case seems to be an outlier. Generally ALS is late onset (55+) and rapidly lethal (<3 years expected survival). That being said, early onset cases are often slower to…
