...study were all breast-cancer survivors, ages 20 to 75, and they consumed soy from naturally occurring sources, such as tofu or soybeans; none of the women took soy supplements. They fell into two groups based on soy intake: those who consumed more than 15.3 g of soy protein a day, or as much as would be found in three-quarters of a cup of edamame beans, and those who consumed less than 5.3 g per day, less than what is contained in a half-cup of soy milk, which has 7 g of soy protein.

...single gene injected into the monkeys was coded for the naturally occurring protein follistatin, which blocks the function of another protein called myostatin that hinders muscle growth. Past research in mice that were genetically engineered to have an extra copy of the follistatin-producing gene has shown that blocking myostatin, by increasing follistatin, causes muscles to bulk up fast. What Kaspar and his team found was that the same effect could be achieved simply by injecting genes - ferried aboard a small, non-disease-causing virus known as AAV, or adeno-associated virus - into the muscle. They further discovered that once...
Other studies reinforce the importance of play as an essential protein in a child's emotional diet; were it not, argue some scientists, it would not have persisted across species and millenniums, perhaps as a way to practice for adulthood, to build leadership, sociability, flexibility, resilience - even as a means of literally shaping the brain and its pathways. Dr. Stuart Brown, a psychiatrist and the founder of the National Institute for Play - who has a treehouse above his office - recalls in a recent book how managers at Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) noticed the younger engineers lacked problem-solving...
