Le plaisir et la gauche
Peut-on jouir, dans un monde injuste, sans être complice de l'injustice ? Pourquoi la politique, et en particulier la gauche, a-t-elle cessé de prendre au sérieux les questions du corps et du plaisir ?Dans un monde où nos plaisirs, qu'ils soient érotiques, alimentaires ou festifs, semblent formatés par le capitalisme et restreints par des impératifs politiques, Michaël Foessel tente de comprendre comment la dévalorisation de ce sentiment a fait, trop souvent, confondre modération et ascèse.Il nous invite à redécouvrir la dimension politiquement subversive du plaisir et à nuancer les injonctions du moralisme progressiste ambiant. Parce qu'il est temps, "devant l'imminence du désastre, de lui préférer les éclats de rire, le jeu ou toute autre forme d'allégresse susceptible de convaincre, malgré tout, que la fête n'est pas finie".
Enzym, který třímá klíč k lidskému stárnutí a brzy nás dovede k delšímu a zdravějšímu životu. Vědci se shodují na nové teorii, podle níž je lidské stárnutí následkem buněčného stárnutí. Pokaždé, když se buňka dělí, se její telomery (konce chromozomů) zkracují. S každým zkrácením telomer klesá schopnost buňky obnovovat své molekuly, v důsledku čehož stárne. Lidské stárnutí je tedy výsledkem stárnutí bilionů tělesných buněk. Některé buňky však nestárnou. Pohlavní a kmenové buňky se množí neomezeně dlouho a nestárnou, protože produkují telomerázy, které obnovují, tedy znovu prodlužují telomery, jež tyto buňky udržují mladé. Tato převratná kniha pojednává o tom, že budeme brzy schopni telomerázu využívat jako účinný terapeutický prostředek s potenciálem výrazně prodloužit délku života, ba dokonce zvrátit lidské stárnutí.
