2/5 "In #yeast, #epigenetic information is lost over time due to the relocalization of #chromatin-modifying proteins to #DNA breaks, causing cells to lose their identity, a hallmark of yeast #aging."
3/5 "Using a system called “#ICE” (#inducible changes to the #epigenome), we find that the act of faithful #DNA #repair advances aging at #physiological, #cognitive, and #molecular #levels, including #erosion of the #epigenetic #landscape,..."

The portacath was removed, & the patient was given liposomal amphotericin B, for 4 weeks.
His symptoms were gone by week 2, and the interstitial infiltrates were nearly resolved by week 4.

So my mum (who knows everything) has found this method of multiplying fresh #yeast, which many of you in the UK (& me during lockdown) have difficulties getting their hands on. Here's my test.
½ cube fresh yeast
15 gr sugar
100 ml water
100 gr wheat flour

Mix & let it rise until bubbly. Use any available baking form (or ice cube form, which I do not possess) & apportion. Tip: use a wet spoon, dip in water before every transfer (tested, works). Freeze.

Now we need to figure out how powerful that yeast is compared to the original and we will do that tomorrow. Stay with me.

1/ Since the start of our #covid19 #confinement in #France, I've gone back to making homemade #bread about 3 times per week, so between that and the book I'm reading on the history of bread, I'll leave some interesting tidbits here whenever the fancy strikes me.

2/ First up: #DidYouKnow that the #French #blé was once the general word for any #cereal crop ("plante qui produit le grain dont on fait le pain"), much like the 🇬🇧 #English #corn ("any of various cereal plants")?
To talk about wheat, the word was (and remains) "froment".

3/ You know flour and flower are pronounced alike, but #DidYouKnow that the similarity is related to the fact that #flour was once spelled "flower", i.e. "the finer portion of ground grain"?
Not coincidentally, the #French term is "fleur de farine" ("flour flower"). ⤵️
