movie review "losers"

this will be short due to posting from phone..

I really enjoyed this movie. It was fun, entertaining and action packed. The characters blended together and complement eachother very well. The storyline was swift and to the point. Special effects and action sequences are superbly laid out. All and all I recommend this movie to all.

Researchers create 'lesbian' mice by deleting a single gene [Neurophilosophy]

Researchers create 'lesbian' mice by deleting a single gene [Neurophilosophy]: "

DELETION of a single gene switches the sexual orientation of female mice, causing them to engage in sexual behaviour that is typical of males. Korean researchers found that deleting the FucM gene, which encodes an enzyme called fucose mutarotase, causes masculinization of the mouse brain, so that female mice lacking the gene avoid the advances of males and try to mate with other females instead. The findings probably have little relavence to human sexual orientation, however.

FucM is one of a family of enzymes involved in rearranging the atoms in small sugar molecules called monosaccharrides. In 2007, Chankyu Park of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and his colleagues reported that these rearrangements facilitate the incorporation of the monosaccharide fucose into cellular proteins. This process is one of numerous chemical modifications that are well known to regulate the function of proteins, but the biological significance of FucM function in mammals was until now unclear.

Experimental fabric turns your entire shirt into a microphone

Experimental fabric turns your entire shirt into a microphone: "

Researchers at MIT have just given new meaning to the term 'wearing a wire.' They've made a new acoustic fiber out of a certain kind of plastic that's normally used in microphones. This means that someday you could wear a shirt made of these threads, and the whole thing would pick up sound, functioning as a wearable microphone.
