Functional interpretation, cataloging, and analysis of 1,341 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase variants
During the 1980s, there was a time when we wondered if any drug-metabolizing-enzyme (DME) gene might have more than one or two mutant variants. Then, in the late 1980s came the first paper in which five variant alleles were cloned … Continue reading

Lifespan: Why We Age—and Why We Don’t Have To
I’m 27% of the way through this long book. The grammar is exceptionally remarkable for transitioning complex molecular biology into layman’s language — so that non-scientists (and EVEN PHYSICIAN) can understand. Author Sinclair is an Australian who has a lab … Continue reading

Study of Hospitalizations in Canada Quantifies Benefit of COVID-19 Vaccine to Reduce Death, ICU Admissions
Pasted below is a reasonable study (summarized in Medscape) that shows us how tremendously dramatic the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine were in terms of saving lives during the pandemic. One caveat not mentioned, however, is the (relatively small, but … Continue reading
