Emerging Intracellular Electrical Phenomena: Implications for Paradigm Shifts in Biological Chemistry Research

Image
Summary of the article  The human body depends on electrical charges for many biological processes, including brain activity and nerve impulses. Previously, it was believed that cellular membranes were necessary to create an electrical charge imbalance. However, recent research from Stanford University has shown that a similar electrical imbalance can exist between microdroplets of water and air. Now, researchers from Duke University have discovered that these types of electric fields also exist within and around biological condensates, a type of cellular structure. These structures form compartments inside the cell without needing the physical boundary of a membrane. The researchers discovered that when environmental conditions are right, a previously unknown phenomenon occurs in these biological condensates, which creates a redox reaction that produces tiny amounts of hydrogen peroxide. This discovery could change the way researchers think about biological chemistry and provide a clu

Vitamins and minerals:- They are more important than you think

Image
Follow @OmEnigma  According to a recent article published by the Harvard medical school, "Vitamins and minerals are as essential for living as air and water. Not only do they keep your body healthy and functional, they protect you from a variety of diseases." What are vitamins? vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient that an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. Vitamins have diverse biochemical functions. Vitamin A acts as a regulator of cell and tissue growth and differentiation. Vitamin D provides a hormone-like function, regulating mineral metabolism for bones and other organs. The B complex vitamins function as enzyme cofactors (coenzymes) or the precursors for them. Vitamins C and E function as antioxidants. Both deficient and excess intake of a vitamin can potentially cause clinically significant illness, although excess intake of water-soluble vitamins is less likely to do so. Types of vitamin I) F

Back pain and good body posture

Image
Follow @OmEnigma B ack pain is one of the most common cause of disability worldwide. It is a common complaint that most people have at some point in their lives. It frequently first appears throughout adolescence and grows more prevalent as people age. Back pain can become persistent, incapacitating, and distressing for 25% of persons who experience it. It may limit a person's capacity to engage in daily tasks, physical activity, and employment. Back discomfort is frequently made worse by actions including sitting, standing, bending, and lifting. It's a widely held concept that maintaining "excellent" posture is crucial for both preventing and treating back pain as well as shielding the spine from harm. It's a widely held concept that maintaining "good" posture is crucial for both preventing and treating back pain as well as shielding the spine from harm. A common definition of good posture is sitting "upright," standing "tall and aligne

People who are lonely experience empty, alone, and unwanted. People who are lonely frequently w

Follow @OmEnigma Major highlights of the article   ---> UK defense intelligence suggests that Russia is deploying Butterfly mines over Donetsk and Kramatorsk region of Ukraine --> children are the prime targets due to the toys like look of the mines but similar threat for local population and humanitarians  --> Devastating effects in soviet Afgan war during Afgan Mujqhideen movement. - -> Banned by international convention on landmines  According to the UK Ministry of Defence Intelligence Update, Russia is to blame for the strikes "Russia most certainly tried to use PFM-1 and PFM-1S scatterable anti-personnel mines in Donetsk and Kramatorsk. The PFM-1 line of weapons, also known as "butterfly mines," are highly contentious, indiscriminate weapons." They continue, "They purportedly wounded a large number of youngsters who mistaken them for toys during the Soviet-Afghan War." What are butterfly mines ? Anti-personnel landmines with the design
