New research found that while all physical activity is beneficial, static activities — such as strength training– were more strongly associated with reducing heart disease risks than […]

Traditionally, the effectiveness of medical treatments is studied by randomized trials, but is this really the only reliable way to evaluate treatment effectiveness, or could something be done differently? How can the effectiveness of a treatment method be evaluated in practice? Could some […]
Continue Reading →Researchers found that the filamin A-Drp1 complex mediates mitochondrial fission in a mouse model of hypoxic heart cells. Results show that hypoxic stress brought about the interaction of filamin A with Drp1 and increased Drp1 activity in heart cells. This process led to mitochondrial fragmentation and cell senescence. Further investigation demonstrated that the drug cilnidipine […]

However, new research has revealed this intuition is misleading; we are actually better at remembering names than faces. Source: So, you think you're good at remembering faces, but terrible with names?

Surprisingly, these false expectations can persist even when reality demonstrates otherwise, the study found. Source: Pain can be a self-fulfilling prophecy
