Broken Hearts in Batten Disease (Juvenile Dementia)

...energy to cells. Because muscles need a lot of energy, they contain many mitochondria which form an interconnected network How can a heart break? You heard that too low or too high a heart rate can be detrimental to the function of the heart. When this is the case, tissues - including the heart itself - do not receive enough oxygen to function effectively. This can lead...

Exploring the icy moons

...energy (exactly the same kinds of energy gradients that we know support life on Earth) that could be exploited by life. It’s incredibly exciting – there could be biospheres in these oceans. And if we find evidence of life there, it will be evidence of life now, not fossil evidence of life that lived billions of years ago. But whether they do or don’t hold life,...

Five ways you can tell if your child is ‘normal’

...energy, and will need a lot of physical exercise, compared to other children of a similar age. At the extreme end of the continuum, hyperactivity may be suggestive of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but a thorough formal assessment is required to diagnose this disorder. At the other end of the continuum there are children who have very little energy, and...

...energy was first kindled. I suspect your story may be slightly different to everybody else’s. MR: Well, yes and no. I got very interested in the climate story when I was covering it for The Economist in the late eighties, early nineties. RH: I’m thinking way back from then, because very few people have a coal mine on their land! MR: Yes, although the coalmine’s...

The gut microbiome: balancing the body

...energy or resources necessary for life. The breaking down, or digestion, of the food we eat is an important metabolic process, as it enables us to gain energy and nutrients from food. The energy obtained from food is used as fuel by the cells throughout the body, while the nutrients are used as building blocks to manufacture important molecules. Food is digested within...

What effect does increasing noise pollution have on mammals?

...energy and interrupts foraging, which is crucial for any animal, but particularly for small-bodied species with high energetic demands such as the prairie dog. So the cost of reacting to perceived danger must be balanced against the risk of staying put. Being too reactive could, over time, affect the fitness of an individual prairie dog, and potentially impact upon their...
