A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Summary
Reference
3. Human anatomical terms make up a distinct
nomenclature to describe areas of the body, to provide
orientation when describing parts of human anatomy,
and to distinguish different movements of the body.
An understanding of these terms is necessary to study
the human body in depth. Many of these terms are
also applicable in animal anatomy (zootomy).
4. Anatomy is the study of the structure of the human
body
Anatomic terms describe the directions within the
body as well as the body’s reference positions, planes
and cavities.
5. Anatomists use specific terms to indicate visible areas
of the body.
The cephalon or cephalic region refers to the head.
This area is further differentiated into the cranium
(skull), facies (face), frons (forehead), oculus (eye
area), auris (ear), bucca (cheek), nausus (nose), oris
(mouth), and mentis (chin).
The neck area is called the cervicis or cervical region.

7. superior - closer to the head
Inferior - closer to the feet
reference point - horizontal plane
posterior (dorsal) - closer to the posterior surface of the body
anterior (ventral) - closer to the anterior surface of the body
reference point - frontal or coronal plane
medial - lying closer to the midline
lateral - lying further away from the midline
reference point - sagittal plane
proximal - closer to the origin of a structure
distal - further away from the origin of a structure
reference point - the origin of a structure

9. The three basic planes intersect at right angles to each other.
When the three basic planes intersect in the center of the
body (as seen in the image to the right) they can be used to
describe various relationships within the body.
Main Reference Planes :-
i. Sagittal Plane
ii. Coronal Plane
iii. Transverse Plane
iv. Oblique Plane
10. i. Sagittal plane (median, wheel) — this vertical (top to
bottom) plane divides the body into left and right sides; a
plane that divides the body down the middle into equal
left and right sides is the Median Sagittal Plane.
ii. Coronal plane (vertical, frontal, door) — a vertical
plane that divides the body into front (anterior or
ventral) and back (posterior or dorsal)
iii. Transverse plane (horizontal, table) — this horizontal
plane is parallel to the ground and divides the body into
up (toward the head) and down (toward the feet)
iv. Oblique plane is not shown; it is a slanted plane (at an
angle) that lies between the horizontal and vertical
planes.

14. Body cavities are areas in the body
that contain our internal organs.
The dorsal and ventral cavities are
the two main cavities.
The dorsal cavity is on the
posterior (back side) of the body
and contains the cranial cavity
and spinal cavity.
The ventral cavity is on the front
(anterior) of the body and is
divided into the thoracic cavity
(chest) and abdominopelvic
cavity.
15. The dorsal cavity is further divided into sub cavities:
1. Cranial Cavity
2. Vertebral Cavity
Cranial cavity (also called the calvaria) which
surrounds and holds the brain
Vertebral cavity (also called the spinal cavity) which
includes the vertebrae (spinal column) and spinal
cord.
16. The ventral cavity is on the front of the trunk. The
diaphragm (the main muscle of breathing) divides the
ventral cavity into two simple sub cavities:
1. Thoracic Cavity
2. Abdominopelvic Cavity
Thoracic cavity which is surrounded by the ribs and chest
muscles is superior to the diaphragm and abdominopelvic
cavity. It is further divided into the pleural cavities (left and
right) which contain the lungs, bronchi, mediastinum
which contains heart, pericardial membranes, large vessels
of the heart, trachea, upper esophagus, thymus gland,
lymph nodes, blood vessels and nerves.
17. Abdominopelvic cavity is divided into the abdominal cavity
and pelvic cavity. The abdominal cavity is between the
diaphragm and the pelvis. It is lined with a membrane and
contains the stomach, lower part of the esophagus, small
intestine,large intestine, spleen, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
adrenal glands, kidneys and ureters. The pelvic cavity
contains the bladder, some reproductive organs and the
rectum.
18. oral cavity – the space in the mouth inside the teeth
and gums and is filled with the tongue when it is
relaxed.
nasal cavity – in the nose
orbital cavities (left and right) – hold the eyes
middle ear cavities (left and right) – hold the small
bones of the middle ear
synovial cavities – are inside the joint capsules that
surround freely moving joints (such as the hip, knee,
elbow, and shoulder)
19. The international standard anatomical position is the
position that provides a reference point for describing
the structures of the human body. In this position, the
body is standing erect with good posture and the face
is looking directly forward. The feet are about six
inches apart, flat on the floor and the toes pointing
forward. The arms are down at the sides with the
palms turned forward and thumbs pointing away from
the body. When the body is lying face down in the
anatomical position, this is called the prone position.
When the body is lying face up, this is called the
supine position.
