-A funny take on the biochemical and molecular biological regulation of the Christmas feeling- Christmas season, the long anticipated and very special time of the year. It is widely known that this time is connected to temporal changes in human emotions and behaviour. However, the biochemical and molecular biological mechanisms that underlie these changes are not well-established yet. Nevertheless, they seem to be linked to the inner clock, also called biological rhythm, which is a central...

Build the trust in your meat by building transparency When consumers go to the shop to buy their weekly groceries, they think about the origin of the meat and the rearing conditions of the animals. Is the meat hormone- and antibiotics-free, organic, from grass-fed and free-range raised animals?

Have you jumped on the CRISPR hype train? Have you bought into the “CRISPR will change the world… it will change life” hype? It is time to derail this HYPE TRAIN!

Media often promises us the stars but, eventually, the next big thing will not live up to its expectations. Remember RNAi? It was immensely hyped, in fact, as the breakthrough of the year by Science (Couzin-Frankel,...

World records - WE LOVE THEM! Especially seeing them broken by our athletic heroes and the yardstick raised a little higher, according to the premise “Bigger, Stronger,Faster”. Truth is, however, some of our heroes have a dirty little secret… DOPING. Fact is that doping is prohibited and no athlete should make use of it. It needs to be fair, just as the Olympic oath says.

There is no such thing as moral or immoral biology. Biology is well done, or badly done. That’s all. And genetic engineering is a great way to do it well. Microorganisms, especially bacteria and yeasts, are perfectly suited for modifications to cheaply create all the compounds that the industry needs to supply us with the conveniences and must-haves that we value so much today... and that we will value even more in the future! It is the way to go. We should use microorganisms for our own...
