AIDS and Cellular Aging AND Sexing Pterydactyls (Huh?)


Hi Dr. Palmer   Yesterday I found this article and I thought it's really interesting. It talks about the demographic shift of HIV-infected people. The research also suggests that HIV causes fast aging in some cells that play an important role in the body's response to the infection.

I also found another article which I think is closely related to what we studied in class. The article talks about newly-found fossil of a flying reptile which lived in the same era with dinosaurs and an flying reptile egg. The new discovery has given scientists a chance to find out more about the sex and gender of these extinct creatures. More information on its reproduction also can be discovered through the fossil.
