Decreasing exposure to airborne particulates was previously associated with reduced age-related decline in lung function. However, whether the benefit from improved air quality depends on genetic background is not known. Recent evidence points to the involvement of the genes p53 and p21 and of the cell cycle control gene cyclin D1 (CCND1) in the response of bronchial cells to air pollution.
A dye molecule shows how light can transfer information THE world of today cannot do without transistors. Used to switch and amplify signals in the integrated circuits, they are essential for any electronic device to work efficiently. As of now silicon is the principal component of a transistor. Its electrons, which have conducting properties, allow for fast transmission of information. It
