Methylmercury is difficult to remove from waterways and readily accumulates in the food chain, threatening humans with impacts such as birth defects and brain and neurological damage. Researchers have identified a molecule essential for the microbial conversion of less toxic inorganic mercury into the neurotoxin methylmercury, moving closer to blocking the dangerous pollutant before it forms.

Redox Signaling Molecules are produced naturally within our cells. They are messenger molecules. Cells reorganize the molecules of H2O and NaCl to create them – every second of every day. These signaling molecules maintain communication among all of our cells as they work together to advance life. This can involve activating genetic pathways providing information that all cells and body systems need to survive and to improve function, rallying resources to help cells when they are in trouble, and enhancing the ability of cells to detoxify. #RedoxSignalingMolecules are critical to life. Some of their roles are to defend cells and to repair damaged cells or replace damaged cells with younger, healthier ones. If damaged cells replicate as more damaged cells, the tissue, organ, and body system involved are at risk. With age, the internal production of these molecules declines. This decline is accelerated by stress, pesticides in our food, pollution in our air, sun damage, poor diet, and toxins of all sorts.

As the genetic and molecular underpinnings of alcohol use disorder (AUD) become better understood, the potential for novel treatments that surpass traditional methods also grows. This National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism research establishes the foundation for viewing and treating AUD as a spectrum of behaviors, rather than a singular disorder, driven by distinct biological pathways.

Interesting study of mitochondrial function in centenarians where less energy production was correlated with better ability. Specifically those with the best physical ability had less ATP production, less rmitochondrial respiration and oxygen use but more mitochondria (mtDNA) in white blood cells. this suggests that mitochondria don't need to be producing maximal energy for better aging--just the right amounts is better. https://lnkd.in/eTVbQDya
