Exactly what role mitochondria play in these illnesses is still unclear. It's not even certain whether mitochondrial breakdowns are the cause or the effect of disease--although researchers suspect it's often a little of both. As mitochondria process food into energy, they create free radicals--highly reactive oxygen ions that can cause damage to proteins. Many experts believe that as cells age, this damage accumulates, weakening the mitochondria irrevocably and doing harm to specific organs--or, more generally, to the whole body. There's no smoking gun yet, says Mootha, but there's some tantalizing evidence...
...hard to do--too hard for some people. But thanks to new breakup services--think the opposite of dating agencies--wannabe ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends can tell their partner it's over without having to say it themselves. You can have it done on TV: on her Oxygen show Breaking Up, Shannen Doherty ends relationships that have gone sour. A lower-profile agent is German entrepreneur Bernd Dressler, nicknamed "the Terminator." He will dump your significant other by phone (the "Let's Stay Friends" call and the more insistent "Stay Away" cost $25 each) or in person ($63). Then...
...looking for a place in which to retire. Gazaniol has promised to help him out for a while, but he isn't overly optimistic about the chances of success. In the 1990s, he worked hard to build Parenchère's reputation and even tinkered with the formula - pumping oxygen into the wine during fermentation to make it fruitier and smoother. But now he's 57 and looking for an easier life. "I'm not having fun any longer," he says. "The competition is growing and that scared me. This crisis will last. It's a structural one. Nobody will...
What makes oxygen oxygen and not, say, iron is not what these two elements are made of-both kinds of atoms have nuclei made of protons and neutrons, with a surrounding cloud of electrons. It's how many of these basic building blocks their nuclei contain. The fact that an oxygen atom has 8 protons, in particular, and iron 26 largely explains why you can breathe one and make a frying pan from the other...
...dishes inspired by the street food of Sichuan Making a Spectacle Have your glasses designed exclusively for you Dutch Treat Amsterdam's pivotal role in the emergence of conceptual art Two techniques have shown particular promise when it comes to fulfilling this goal. The first is known as micro-oxygenation?the slow release of small amounts of oxygen into the wine during fermentation, giving it a rounded quality (the same thing happens when wine is decanted or left to breathe). The other is speeding up the removal of grape pips during the fermentation process. Tannat grapes tend to have more...
