Love. It is a devious instinct. It shows blatant disregard to one's reality. It advocates the individual to ponder away from the herd mentality.

Dame of Nightmares

[mericandream15-blog]

Matthew A Cruz also self proclaimed mericanDREAM took his imagination elsewhere with his incredibly knowledgable co-producer Ethan Reece also known as NACHR in their first chapter together in music; an epic musical battle against the Dame. Ethan, not only expresses his ability to structure and craft modish compositions as a progressive metal artist but now in storytelling. Their first composition will consist of original samples, both emceeing, and a spine-chilling explanation of the Dame of Nightmares. Ethan is the lead producer and composer for the instrumentals and the direction of their music and Matthew is the lead director and writer of the production known as “The Dame Project”.

Snail venom sting in tail of cancer and addiction

Cone snail venom has given University of Queensland researchers a lead on the possible detection and treatment of some cancers and addictions.

UQ School of Biomedical Sciences' Dr Richard Clark said cone snails produced a venom that immobilised prey including worms, other snails and fish.

"The power and selectivity of these toxins make them both valuable drug leads and excellent molecular tools for understanding the human body's processes.

Dr Clark said some of the toxins targeted the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) family.

"These receptors in the nervous system play diverse roles and have been implicated in a range of diseases including Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, tobacco addiction and lung cancer."

"Our study focused on a specific toxin and we investigated its structure and how it worked to see if we could engineer a molecule that would only target the receptor associated with cancers and addictions.

The study, published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry, was done in collaboration with Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology's Professor David Adams and Dr Frank Mari from the Florida Atlantic University in the USA.
