[What is Barley ?]

Barley is an annual grass. Barley grass is the leaf of the barley plant, as opposed to the grain. It is capable of growing in a wide range of climatic conditions. Barley grass has greater nutritional value if harvested at a young age.

[How does it work?]

The fiber in barley might lower cholesterol and blood pressure in people with high cholesterol. Barley may also reduce blood sugar and insulin levels. Barley seems to slow stomach emptying. This could help keep blood sugar stable and create a sensation of being full, which might help to control appetite.

Today on Bored and Hungry we make the Central America meal Alote Chuco

Audio
“Life is Beautiful” “Deputy Willie’s One Tough Chap!”- Riyou Kinugasa, Takuya Kobayashi, and Hiromi Mizutani

Alote Chuco:
Blue Corn Chips
Red Beans
Dried Chili Peppers
1 oz. Pumpkin Seeds
1 tbsp. Lime Juice

Directions:

Separately grind chips, seeds, and peppers into a fine powder using food processor and coffee grind. Set aside in separate containers.

Clean beans and soak over night in water. Drain beans and simmer in warm water for about 2 hours, or until desired doneness. Drain water, set aside, and keep warm.

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and stir in ½ cup of corn chip powder. Reduce heat and simmer for around 5 minutes, until lightly thickened. Pour or spoon hot Atole into a cup or bowl, mix in lime juice, 3 tbsp. of red beans, 1 tbsp. of pumpkin seed powder, and ½ tsp. of chili powder. Serve hot and enjoy.

Probing protein interactions in living mammalian cells on a microtubule bench. Mirela Boca et al (2015), Scientific Reports https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/srep17304

Microtubules are μm-long cylinders of about 25 nm in diameter which are present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Here, we have developed a new method which uses these cylindrical structures as platforms to detect protein interactions in cells. The principle is simple: a protein of interest used as bait is brought to microtubules by fusing it to Tau, a microtubule-associated protein. The presence of a protein prey on microtubules then reveals an interaction between bait and prey. This method requires only a conventional optical microscope and straightforward fluorescence image analysis for detection and quantification of protein interactions. To test the reliability of this detection scheme, we used it to probe the interactions among three mRNA-binding proteins in both fixed and living cells and compared the results to those obtained by pull-down assays. We also tested whether the molecular interactions of Cx43, a membrane protein, can be investigated with this system. Altogether, the results indicate that microtubules can be used as platforms to detect protein interactions in mammalian cells, which should provide a basis for investigating pathogenic protein interactions involved in human diseases.
