Researchers link ocean organisms with increased cloud cover and potential climate change
...s hypothesized that airborne particles produced by oxidation of the chemical isoprene ?which is emitted by the phytoplankton ?may have contributed to a doubling of cloud droplet concentrations seen over a large area of ocean off the eastern coast of South America.

... it should be possible to slow down the process of oxidation and ageing,' Shchepinov says. The isotopes could be used in animal feed so that humans could get the "age-defying" isotopes indirectly in steaks or chicken fillets, for example, rather than eating chemically enhanced products themselves. Shchepino...Power-boosting signal in muscle declines with age
