Secret Imprisonment

There is a case in Cambridge today where it is proposed that a certain woman be imprisoned. She will be requesting an open hearing. It would be wrong for her to be locked up in secret.

I am going to visit a Law Library this afternoon to find the precedents for an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus so that we can get her released if she is imprisoned unlawfully (in secret).

It is appalling that this sort of medieval thing happens in the UK today.

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
