It was the coldest April in the United States since 1997....clearly we are doing something right with global warming. Let the other shthole countries reduce their emissions!https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/wor ... chromepush
400th straight month of higher than average global temperatures. Even with April being one of the coldest in North America on record: https://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/ ... 590122002/

That's like using modified HIV cells to fight leukemia.I saw a report on the local news tonight that they've discovered some connection between Alzheimer's and herpes.
And more Random Caps.I tried to type that like a Trump tweet, should have taken out the ellipses.
Not really surprising though that it could linger hidden for a lifetime, only to reactivate a different manifestation in old age, considering that chickenpox/shingles is also a herpes virus.I'd never heard of the virus in question (Human herpesvirus 6) before today. It looks like it's something most people get as little kids and never experience again.
From the Article:Not really surprising though that it could linger hidden for a lifetime, only to reactivate a different manifestation in old age, considering that chickenpox/shingles is also a herpes virus.
So in their theory it's not the virus causing Alzheimer's, it's the immune response of the body fighting the virus that may cause the disease.A series of studies led by Massachusetts General Hospital neurologist Robert Moir and colleagues suggests a possible theory to bind these disparate pathogen findings together: Beta amyloid proteins may accumulate in the brain as part of an immune response against injury or invading pathogens. In a paper published online on June 21st, also in Neuron, Moir and colleagues reported that amyloid beta peptides bind to and entrap HSV-1 and HHV-6, thereby helping to protect against infection. Mice infected with these herpes viruses quickly accumulate beta amyloid plaques, too. Their theory posits that when enough beta amyloid plaques build up during an infection, they then trigger inflammation and other unhelpful responses, such as the creation of tau tangles that kill neurons. The plaques also alert brain immune cells called microglia to the fact that something is wrong; these cells launch an immune cascade that kills even more neurons. The end result of this process— which began with a seemingly protective response to microbial invasion—could be Alzheimer’s.
What they believe to be a lake sits under the planet's south polar ice cap, and is about 20km (12 miles) across.
Previous research found possible signs of intermittent liquid water flowing on the martian surface, but this is the first sign of a persistent body of water on the planet in the present day.
Lake beds like those explored by Nasa's Curiosity rover show water was present on the surface of Mars in the past.
However, the planet's climate has since cooled due to its thin atmosphere, leaving most of its water locked up in ice.
The result is exciting because scientists have long searched for signs of present-day liquid water on Mars, but these have come up empty or yielded ambiguous findings. It will also interest those studying the possibilities for life beyond Earth - though it does not yet raise the stakes in the search for biology.
