Cattle Health: Light Frosts May Add Prussic Acid Problems To Nitrate Toxicity Concerns (CattleNetwork.com)
Prussic acid when ingested by cattle, is quickly absorbed into the blood stream, and blocks the animal's cells from utilizing oxygen. Thus the animal dies from asphyxiation at the cellular level....more...DLP® Products Shows New Developments in Pico-Projection (ThomasNet)

The reproduction of...more... Plants live, die according to their size (PhysOrg)
Plants self-regulate their populations to maintain stability and optimize their lives, with the lengths of their lives directly related to their mass, a recent study has found. Further, a single scaling power for lifespan holds true across the entire spectrum of plants, from single-celled phototrophs to giant redwoods....more... New Virus Drug Will Have To Shoot At Moving Targets (Medical News Today)
The reproduction of the deadly hepatitis B virus is dependent on the mobility of one of the virus's RNAs. This is shown by Katja Petzold and Jurgen Schleucher, Umea University, Sweden, in an article in the latest issue of the journal Nucleic Acids Research.More than 300 million people all over the world are infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV), and there are 2 million deaths per year.

Scientists have found that the f and m type plant thioredoxins previously thought to be localized only in chloroplasts are found in other, nonphotosynthetic, tissues, where they may have multiple functions. They have now established the presence of these redox proteins in tissues other than the chloroplast....more... Chloroplast f and m Thioredoxins Discovered in Nonphotosynthetic Tissues (EurekAlert!)
ROCKVILLE, MD -- Thioredoxins (TRXs) are a large family of small proteins that function in multiple metabolic processes in all living organisms. They are a good example of proteins that have diversified throughout evolution, probably from one ancestral protein that arose in ancient cyanobacteria....more...
