Elon's mother was #Canadian.
Did she, like #Justin's mother, get herself impregnated by a #Communist leader???
Official history makes out that #MaoZedong was some random peasant, but #British and #Jesuit schemers had been sowing wild oats in #China for generations previously.

I want you to know that the ketone body Acetoacetate is a powerful gene-signaling molecule. (1/14)
Acetoacetate has been shown to inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity in the brain, leading to increased histone acetylation and altered gene expression. (2/14)
Acetoacetate has been shown to inhibit HDAC activity, leading to increased histone acetylation and altered gene expression. This affects the expression of genes involved in synaptic plasticity and cognitive function in the brain. (3/14)
Can a ketogenic diet help the symptoms of a hard-core neurodegenerative disorder like Huntington's disease? Let's see what a published case study found. 🧵 (1/16)
Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the huntingtin (HTT) gene, which produces a toxic protein that damages nerve cells in the brain. (2/16)
HD is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that a person only needs one copy of the mutated gene from either parent to develop the disease. (3/16)
Mitochondria are essential to our overall health and well-being. In addition to producing energy, they regulate many critical processes in the body. (1/11) #mitochondria #energy #health
Mitochondria play a key role in the production and regulation of neurotransmitters. They also help produce key hormones like cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. (2/11) #mitochondria #hormones #neurotransmitters #neurotwitter
Mitochondria are involved in epigenetics, which is the expression of #genes from the nucleus. They send signals to the nucleus that turn genes on or off. (3/11) #epigenetics #genes #mitochondria

Protein-protein interaction network overview. Nodes = proteins, edges represent the interaction between two nodes (proteins). The top 10 key hub #genes of 255 symptoms of #longcovid are related to G-protein coupled receptors shown in circular nodes in pink.
🧵#Bioinformatics and its impact on #healthcare, a THREAD🧵🧵:
#Bioinformatics is the application of #computational techniques to the analysis of #biological data, such as #DNA sequences and #protein #structures.
In #healthcare, #bioinformatics is used to gain insights into the #genetic basis of diseases, and to develop new #diagnostic tests and #treatments.
Are you interested in learning about #bioinformatics and working with #genomic data? Here's a detailed #learning path to get you started:
To build a strong foundation in biology, you'll need to learn about:
The #structure and #function of #cells, including the various #organelles and their roles in the cell. This will help you understand how cells work and how they carry out essential functions such as #metabolism and #energy production.

While #science thought us that we can even cut and paste #genes with #CRISPR technology…even with that we only influence 3% to 5% of #chronicillness. The rest depends on #how you #live your #life!!! So how do we #SelfRegulate our #body?
There are 6 main steps to #selfregulation:

It's how we are intrinsically made, that shapes our personality, defines our intentions and describes our actions.

Actually, this documentary has set my mind into commotion and took me back into those years when the New #Labour and #Blair came into power in the late 1990s in the #UK.
We eagerly watched what reforms under the #collectivists would imply, as the UK had a manifest #class system.

The worse thing which #Blair could do, at that time, was to remove the #hereditary #peers from the House of #Lords.

What your are thinking right now is having an impact on your genetic expression and in turn your health. What you are feeling right now is having an impact on your genetic expression and in turn your health.
What emotion you are going through right now is having and impact on your genetic expression and in turn your health.
Your thoughts, feelings and emotions impact your biology! If your emotions can bring such a physical and mental change in you, you now know how it’s impacting your genes at a cellular level too! When they say genetic most people give up like there is nothing to do.
