Hey peeps! It's been weeks since we've updated our blog, yeah? It's because our members were all so busy with their own schedule. However, we've decided we should put aside some time to update our blog for our loyal readers! (Although there is only one person commenting here) Hence,
How recycling could keep your organs young

receptor:
1. a cellular structure that is postulated to exist in order to mediate between a chemical agent that acts on nervous tissue and the physiological response
2. an organ having nerve endings (in the skin or viscera or eye or ear or nose or mouth) that respond to stimulation.
Comment:
Vinni: Though we know that damaged protein accumulates in our body as we grow older, but we do not know if it has caused functional decline of our organs. Hence, Cuervo explains that finding a drug that stops the existing receptor proteins breaking down could have the same effect as the ones tested on the livers of young normal mice.
Games Time!

Old newspaper could be worth its weight in gold
(Click on the heading for link)
Our Comments:
Vinni: It is good that the technology has been advancing well and even old newspaper could be worth it's weight in gold. So, hang on your old newspapers! (:(Though it's currently taking place in Japan!)
May: I find that it's unbelievable as even old newspapers can recover gold and other precious metals from industrial waste metal solutions.
Games and Quizzes will be postpone till further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Our Comments:
Jocelyn: Well, I think this drugs are very cool. However, it has side-effects and I would not risk my life for it.
Vinni: The younger the people are, the more temptations made to eat drugs. Since the article stated, "More than half the respondents were 35 years old or younger." .
Poh Im: People should not take too much of the drug even there is mild side-effect.
Hannah: I think it is normal for people to take drugs especially for this advanced generation where brain power is needed.
