Greater Birmingham LEP

I am pleased that more towns in the City Region based around Birmingham are recognising the merit of working together. Sadly it appears that the Black Country do not want to work with Birmingham, Solihull, East Staffordshire, Cannock Chase, Lichfield, Tamworth, Bromsgrove, Redditch and Wyre Forest.

However, the other towns should be congratulated on being willing to work together to promote the local economy.

Shame the same could not be said for the rest , things look promising if a few towns are willing to work together to promote local economies, unfortunately over here in Bury they have decided to put the entire town up for sale, no joke, Bury have decided to outsource ALL services and provisions, yes All, to private companies, yep that sounds good for the town don't it. maybe they should sell us on E-Bay, highest bidder wins, this is despite Bury had the Largest single investment for any town outside London in 2008

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
