The liver's reserve lasts only about 24 hours, after which, cells begin breaking down the body's fats and proteins - essentially living off the land. As this happens, the composition of the blood - including hormones, neurotransmitters and metabolic by-products - changes.

The biotech developer began petitioning for the East Cambridge zoning change in May 2008, but is not obligated to buy any Cambridge land by yesterday’s decision. Cambridge already contains 155 biotechnology firms, marking the highest concentration of that industry in the world.
