A comprehensive review of the genetic control of cooking time in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by Hannah R. Jeffery, Marcelo Efrén Murillo‐Quesada, Luis Barboza‐Barquero, Karen Cichy

“…The current evidence suggests that cooking time is increased by genetic factors that decrease the amount of soluble compounds in the cotyledons, including but not limited to 1) genes that increase the abundance of calcium‐binding storage proteins and/or de‐methylesterfied pectins paired with high inter‐ or intra‐cellular calcium levels (higher calcium levels can be caused by reduced levels of phytate) and 2) genes that increase insoluble condensed tannin/lignin content in the cotyledon cell walls. …”

I tweet, therefore I am: a systematic review on social media use and disorders of the social brain by Nancy Yang, Bernard Crespi

“…In each case, the virtual nature of social media facilitates the delusionality because the self is defined and bolstered in this highly mentalistic environment, where real-life exposure of the delusion can be largely avoided. Current evidence also suggests that increased social media usage, via its disembodied and isolative nature, may be associated with psychotic spectrum phenotypes, especially delusionality, by the decoupling of inter and intra-corporeal cues integral to shared reality testing, leading to the blurring of self-other boundaries.…”

Association of plasma levels of Sestrin2 with adiposity and metabolic function indices in healthy and diabetic subjects from Qatar Biobank by Muhammad Ammar Zahid, Shahenda Salah Abdelsalam, Hicham Raïq, Hanan H. Abunada, Aijaz Parray, Abdelali Agouni

“…Conversely, in the diabetic cohort, higher Sestrin2 levels were paradoxically linked to increased triglycerides (OR: 1.57), the product of triglyceride glucose and waist circumference (OR: 1.8), body fat (OR: 1.72), waist circumference (OR: 1.82), waist-to-hip ratio (OR: 1.96) and metabolic syndrome (OR: 1.48).ConclusionsThese findings suggest that Sestrin2 may play a complex and context-dependent role in metabolic regulation, potentially serving as a protective factor in healthy individuals but contributing to metabolic dysfunction in the context of established diabetes. …”
