Blood factors transfer beneficial effects of exercise on neurogenesis and cognition to the aged brain

ByThe Short Paper

Article

In this study, they found taking a specific enzyme produced after exercise from one mouse and placing it in another mouse was effective. The enzyme was glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific phospholipase D1 (Gpld1), a GPI-degrading enzyme and acts to improve age related brain degeneration and cognitive impairments.

TL;DR Specific enzymes produced from exercise can be transferred from one organism to another to reduce brain age degeneration and improve cognition

Article There are many organs that COVID-19 may target due to a common receptor that COVID-19 uses to enter, ACE2. This can cause issues in cardiac, renal, endocrine, and ocular systems and more. TL;DR COVID-19 has been shown to cause more than respiratory issues, many organs are affected due to a common receptor on all of…

Magnetic Fields Discovered in Ancient Star-Forming Galaxy

ByThe Short Paper

Polarized thermal emission from dust in a galaxy at redshift 2.6 Magnetic fields are really important for how galaxies evolve and how stars are born. We’ve known about these magnetic fields in our own Milky Way and nearby galaxies, but we didn’t know when they first appeared in the Universe. Now, we’ve found evidence of…
