 | | |  Lifestyle profiling represents a new method where the chemistries that are obtained from the personal objects of a person are used to build their lifestyle profile. This is then used to infer the person’s location and characteristics which are further applied to various forensic investigations. | | | | |  Ricin is one of the most toxic substances known to science with an LD50 between 3 and 30 µg/kg in humans. Potentially lethal when inhaled, ingested, or injected, death can occur within 36 to 72 hours upon exposure. Ricin works by preventing the body’s cells from producing essential proteins, which leads to cellular death. There is no known antidote for ricin poisoning. | | | | |  There has recently been a surge in research into the biosynthetic pathways of cannabinoids and the potential for commercialized metabolic engineering. | | | | |  Metabolomics, the study of small molecules the body produces during metabolism (metabolites) may be a future key to identifying diabetes-related kidney disease. | | | | |  While genetics and other factors like age and sex contribute to each individual's response to exercise, little is known about the biological mechanisms by which physical activity brings about beneficial changes to the body. | |
