The second section contains updates on the latest research on dietary interventions in the areas of growth and body...

Livets hemmelighed blev afsloret i 1953, hvor James D. Watson og Francis Crick offentliggjorde en model af DNA-molekylet.Modellen har siden haft en kolossal indvirkning pa videnskaben og samfundet.Indlejret i molekylets yndefulde kurver la noglen til en helt ny videnskab, molekylAerbiologien, der over de efterfolgende 50 ar har givet os en forbloffende indsigt i vores arts biologi. Ligesa betydningsfuld har indvirkningen vAeret pa lAegevidenskaben, fodevareproduktionen og retssystemet. DNA er...

Suresh Rattan's birth certificate reads «1955». At his age, signs of decline inevitably creep in, but Suresh doesn't feel that old. In fact, he feels twenty years younger. He can even explain why. No wonder: He does research on age and ageing at Aarhus University. Thanks to evolution, we can't imagine ourselves any older than 45. Biologically, we should just give up the ghost once we've raised a few carbon copies of ourselves. But for those of us who want to stick around a...
