Caching killer carbs
P lants and protists may not have a nervous system , but they can help elucidate the mechanism of a fatal neurodegenerative disease, as Gentry et al. reveal on page 477. The organisms helped researchers pin down the function of a protein suspected of sparking destructive carbohydrate accumulations. Lafora disease is a fatal form of epilepsy whose symptoms usually begin between the ages of 10 an...
متن کاملPhagocytes: Fussy about Carbs
A new mechanistic model based on the formation of a phagocytic synapse explains how immune cells detect and respond to direct contact with fungal pathogens.

That's a dangerous oversimplification, on a par with "fat is bad." Easily digested carbohydrates from white bread, white rice, pastries, sugared sodas, and other highly processed foods m...
متن کاملCutting back on the carbs.
Glycans are essential components in maintaining many important biological processes within the body, and can be found in forms ranging from simple monomers to complex polymeric assemblies. On the cell surface, oligosaccharides are presented and recognized by an array of carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins), such as sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins (Siglecs), selectins, and galectins. The ...
متن کاملA CaRBS analysis of hip replacement approaches and non-pathology
This study investigates the differences in hip biomechanics for subjects following a total hip arthroplasty (THA), through the lateral approach (LA) and posterior approach (PA), to those with no pathology (NP). The principal component analysis was performed on two kinematic and two kinetic waveforms (subject-based characteristics) from level gait to identify salient portions of the waveforms fo...
