Science Debate - Where We Discuss Science. What is Trisomy 18. Posted on 10. Apr, 2012 by Admin. Trisomy 18 is a genetic disorder caused by a chromosomel defect. This is not due to inherent defect in any chromosome, rather the affected individuals have an additional copy of chromosome 18. Trisomy 18 is also called Edwards syndrome, named after John H. Edwards, who first described the syndrome in 1960. Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome. Prenatal screening may provide important information on chromosomal anomal...

Science Debate - Where We Discuss Science. Electronic systems that substitute flexible plastic for silicon chips may be one step closer to reality. Posted on 16. Apr, 2014 by Admin. The paper was published today in the journal Nature Communications by University of Iowa researchers and their colleagues at New York University. Ldquo;Although it does not cost a lot of energy to convert one to the other in ordinary, silicon-chip-based computers, the energy cost is very high for flexible, plastic computing d...

Floating nuclear plants could ride out tsunamis | Science Debate - Where We Discuss Science
http://www.sciencedebate.com/science-blog/floating-nuclear-plants-could-ride-out-tsunamis
Science Debate - Where We Discuss Science. Floating nuclear plants could ride out tsunamis. Posted on 16. Apr, 2014 by Admin. A new design for nuclear plants built on floating platforms, modeled after those used for offshore oil drilling, could help avoid such consequences in the future. Such floating plants would be designed to be automatically cooled by the surrounding seawater in a worst-case scenario, which would indefinitely prevent any melting of fuel rods, or escape of radioactive material. In add...

Science Debate - Where We Discuss Science. What are Stem Cells? Embryonic and Adult Stem Cells. Posted on 07. Dec, 2011 by Admin. A stem cell is an unspecialized cell that is not terminally differentiated and has the potential to acquire a more specialized function by differentiation. Stem cells may be classified based upon their stage of differentiation or their differentiation lineage. All terminally differentiated cells had their beginning in embryonic stem cell progenitors. Pluripotent cells are isol...

Science Debate - Where We Discuss Science. FNDC5 variant irisin links exercise to brain health and may slow Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Posted on 13. Oct, 2013 by Admin. A new finding suggests that the protein FNDC5 or its variant irisin is imporatant in brain health following exercise and may slow the progression of neurogenerative diseases such as Alzheimers disease and Parkinsons disease. It has been found that exercise stimulates BDNF in the hippocampus, one of only two areas of the adult br...

Science Debate - Where We Discuss Science. Lifespan Extension by Red Wine Ingredient Resveratrol Linked to Methylation Following Action on SirT1. Posted on 02. Oct, 2013 by Admin. A new research suggests that the protein target of the red wine ingredient resveratrol may be extending lifespan by a new mechanism. The protein target of resveratrol in mammals is the enzyme called SirT1, which belongs to a family of proteins called sirtuins. The authors concluded that sirtuin-mediated lifespan extension depen...

What is Science? | Science Debate - Where We Discuss Science
http://www.sciencedebate.com/science-blog/what-science-and-why-science-debate
Science Debate - Where We Discuss Science. Philosophy is also a study of general and fundamental problems through logical interpretations; thus, science and philosophy intersect and overlap. In fact, at one time these two terms were used interchangeably. Famous scientist Richard Feynman, the 1965 Physics Nobel laureate, said, The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge of scientific truth. But what is the source of knowledge? Where do the laws that are to be tested come from?
