Heart attacks and strokes triggered by electrical misfiring in the heart are among the biggest killers on the planet. In 2022, researchers created a “liquid wire” that, when injected into pig hearts, can guide the organs to a normal rhythm. Learn more on #WorldHeartDay: scim.ag/4iUYkai

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

Phosphorylated α-synuclein pS129 is found in aggregates that are pathological hallmarks of PD and DLB. The toxicity of pS129 has been up for debate for years. Combining LSM, MRI, rsfMRI and task fMRI, we demonstrate a toxic role for pS129 in synucleinopathies. 1/2 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The compound was likely contaminated with endotoxins. At least three people were hospitalized. It’s simple: don’t get recreational IVs or peptide injections. You don’t need them, there is no solid evidence of benefits, and they can make you very sick.

Canada's largest ice cream company used to source its fruits and nuts from U.S. suppliers — some for over 30 YEARS. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products. So, what did Chapman's do? They called Italy. They called Spain. They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.

The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.
