Losing weight isn't easy, and it's harder still when your genes are working against you. But a new study by University of Maryland researchers shows that even people with a genetic predisposition to gain weight can exert some control over how big they get.
There's a hitch. The people who successfully overrode their genes were burning a stunning 900 kilocalories more per day than their less active counterparts, which amounted to three to four hours of moderate exercise daily. "That's a lot," acknowledges Rampersaud, who tracked participants' physical activity for seven days...
That's not to say the study's lessons aren't useful. In a previous Danish trial that studied a more urban population that was slightly less active than the agrarian Amish, scientists found that those with the obesity-prone copies of FTO did not have to exercise that much...
MIT plans to make dream-team proposals, which Sharp views as a chance to loose the forces of science on the particularly diabolical forms of cancer. One of MIT's strategies is to build nanomolecules that, when injected into the body, can hunt for cancer cells, bind to them and...
As with all iPS work, direct reprogramming uses viruses to integrate the transcription factors into the target cells. Melton said that the retrovirus used in the creation of iPS cells may result in cancer-causing genes, but that the virus used in direct reprogramming does not cause such mutations and...
