...stiffen when stretched. Yao devised an approach for measuring neurofilaments’ elasticity that proved more accurate than traditional methods, which are best suited for materials that do not stiffen. His technique yielded high-quality data and made it possible for researchers to discover the origin of the protein interactions that caused stiffening in neurofilaments. “This is a new approach likely to be helpful to many in the fields of biology, biophysics and bioengineering,” said Rosalind A. Segal, a neurobiology professor and the director of the science program at the Radcliffe Institute...
...somewhat expected, since recent studies show that the same conditions that boost the risk of heart attack, such as high cholesterol, hypertension and atherosclerosis, may also raise the risk of dementia; the theory is that whatever is causing fat deposits in heart vessels may also contribute to fat and protein deposits in the Alzheimer's brain...
...Only 30 percent of students eat breakfast and many of those do not eat the prepared items, Mayer, meaning the effects of the breakfast changes should be minimal. “You got it at Annenberg, and a transfer of funds to brain break; you’ve got protein, and weekends are the same,” Mayer said. “I’d think that’s adequate for you to maintain diet and strength.” The improved brain break will include new items such as hummus and pita, cheese and crackers...
...Students’ other primary concern centered on the elimination of hot breakfast during the week at all Houses.During the Lamont Café session, members of the Men’s Varsity Swimming and Diving Team said the elimination of hot breakfast would take away a protein- and calorie-filled meal they and other athletes need after morning practices.Team member C. Andy Krantz ’12 said that the breakfast changes were especially limiting to vegetarians, such as himself, who will have to rely on hard boiled eggs and cheese as their only sources of protein after morning practices.Students...
