  1. Researchers identified a #cellularmechanism that alters the #gutmicrobiome in a way that promotes #cancer. The study could demonstrate the increased formation of long-chain #fattyacids – the preferred food of certain cancer-promoting #bacteria: go.tum.de/864170

  2. #NASA's #Curiosityrover has detected the largest organic molecules ever found on #Mars -- decane, undecane, and dodecane -- suggesting that complex prebiotic chemistry may have occurred in the planet's ancient lakebeds. These compounds, which are made up of 10, 11, and 12 carbons, respectively, are thought to be the fragments of #fattyacids that were preserved in the sample. Fatty acids are among the organic molecules that on Earth are chemical building blocks of life.

  3. I find the search for the evidence of life fascinating. It just comes down to chemistry and eliminating all other possibilities. Painstaking work that takes years with the technology we have, but it seems they are getting closer to proving we are not unique in the Universe, and maybe that revelation will help us.

  4. Macronutrients provide biomatter & energy for postembryonic animal #development. This study shows that free #FattyAcids act as a primary nutrient signal to trigger early development in #Celegans, expanding the function of specific nutrients #PLOSBiology plos.io/40hJZvi

  5. Want to get #Americans into #carbonCapture? Turn it into #butter and let them eat it!

    > derived from the #carbon in #coal, #methane or #carbonDioxide... which is then turned into long-chain #hydrocarbons, oxygenates them to create #fattyAcids, before adding #glycerol to form #triglycerides, a form of #fat... water and an emulsifier, before finally including beta carotene for color and rosemary oil to add a “grassy” flavor

  6. The Fats of Life: Essential Fatty Acids in Health and Disease
    The Fats of Life delineates the importance of essential fatty acids, with a focus on distinctions between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid variants. The chemical and biochemical characteristics of these fatty acids and their metabolism to a vast array of potent bioactive messengers are described in the context of their potential effects on general health and impact on various diseases and neurological disorders

  7. #MultipleSclerosis & the #microbiome: Deleting the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (a sensor for gut #microbiota) in #Tcells triggers a change in intestinal #BileAcids & short chain #FattyAcids, which appear to protect against MS. @GaultierAlban &co #PLOSBiology plos.io/3lsPhS2
