The whole reason I got into software development was to improve the way in which biology is researched, understood and presented. I have always wanted better ways to explore the subject and understand how the whole complicated system works. This article is an attempt to plan, develop and deliver on that vision. It is not a complete or organised article …
Time is my enemy right now but I wanted to share the article how Abnormal metabolism is at the heart of some serious health problems (such as obesity, diabetes and cancer) as a reference others will find useful. My intention is to review this seminal article but I just haven’t had the time. It is also behind a pay wall …

It’s amazing how much is known and has been documented. What I see as lacking is a model that ties all this knowledge into virtual systems. I feel software …
I’m passing this link on because it gives an explanation for the effects of ageing down to the mitochondrial and dna level. It’s a positive message that explains my faith that as I age I can keep my vitality. The findings need to be confirmed but they fit wider research. Just wanted to provide a reference so I don’t forget …
I read an article Insulin resistance and pre diabetes and just had to report the findings of the major study they refer to. ‘lifestyle changes reduced the risk of diabetes by 58 percent’ The main recommendation is to be active and eat well. I just wanted to make the point that insulin resistance can be reversed. They also found that many people with …
I’ve been meaning to add a post up here that talks about bacteria and cells. I feel that these little guys are much like the atom is to physicists. It’s kind of the root of living beings. True DNA would be the fundamental element as it were but these little guys are what DNA is designed to create. That’s it’s …
