Protein shredder regulates fat metabolism in the brain

A protein shredder that occurs in cell membranes of brain cells apparently also indirectly regulates the fat metabolism. This is shown by a recent study by the University of Bonn. The shredder, known as gamma-secretase, is considered a possible target for drugs against cancer and Alzheimer's disease. However, the results suggest that such agents may have long-range effects that need to be watched closely. The study has now been published in "Life Science Alliance".

Transporting energy through a single molecular nanowire

Photosynthetic systems in nature transport energy very efficiently towards a reaction center, where it is converted into a useful form for the organism. Scientists have been using this as inspiration to learn how to transport energy efficiently in, for example, molecular electronics. Physicist Richard Hildner from the University of Groningen and colleagues have investigated energy transport in an artificial system made from nanofibres. The results were published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Christy O'Donnell's 'Remember Me Well' Is A "Beautiful Wall Of Sound"

It's another hint of his incoming EP...

Glasgow's Christy O'Donnell has always had a deep emotional connection to music.

Beginning to play guitar at a teen, it seemed to unlock something inside of him, allowing him to access his emotions in a new way.

“It was like being blind and discovering colour,” he says. “When I felt bad I didn’t know how to deal with it until I found music.”

Writing his own songs, locating his own sense of expression, Christy will release his new EP shortly.

New single 'Remember Me Well' lands on May 8th, and it's a grand, alluring "wall of sound".

Dominated by that driving, surging vocal, it's the sound of someone's talent, of their message, coming into focus.

"I wanted to buildup to this beautiful wall of sound," he comments, "like I’m in a summer’s garden, like I’m sitting on the grass with all these flowers growing up around me."

"The track features a solitary violin which swells and opens into a rich musical soundscape: this trajectory from introspection to full-blown expression is something that first struck me in the music of Bon Iver, so I tried to model in on that. Let me know how you like it!"

Tune in now.
