Dailyish Study Roundup – Mucus, Telomerase

Dailyish Study Roundup lists studies and info I find important to life as a parent. Daily is more of a goal…

But other studies show that green is no more common in a bacterial infection than a viral one, for which antibiotics are ineffective.

This year’s Nobel Prize in medicine went to a trio of scientists who discovered the enzyme telomerase, which allows cells to divide without any limits, making them effectively immortal.

It may be nature’s greatest double-edged sword. Coax cells into producing telomerase, and they will survive indefinitely, but they will also become cancerous.

Don’t yuck someone’s yum.
