Understanding the regulation of gene activity has been an important goal for many decades. If gene regulation goes awry, it can lead to serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, or autoimmunity. #NobelPrize

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine focuses on the discovery of a vital regulatory mechanism used in cells to control gene activity. Genetic information flows from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA), via a process called transcription, and then on to the cellular machinery

Did you know that an artificial neural network is designed to mimic the brain? Inspired by biological neurons in the brain, artificial neural networks are large collections of “neurons”, or nodes, connected by “synapses”, or weighted couplings, which are trained to perform

Mythbuster of the day 💥 from British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) . Recreational running doesn't cause knee osteoarthritis and may have a protective effect. Only 3.5% of recreational (amateur) runners have osteoarthritis (knee or hip) compared with 10.2% of sedentary individuals bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/6/3…

This is really important. My HR zones are calibrated against my lactate thresholds, established from lab testing. Z1 and Z2: <LT1 Z3: LT1-LT2 Z4 and Z5: LT2-VO2max Avoid generic HR zones from Garmin etc. These can be off by more than 20 beats! I would recommend RPE instead
