Dr Robert Sapolsky neuroendechronology researcher theorizes in his new book that there is no free will due to bias , genetics and other factors. While that may be true on one biological level I would argue (and theorize) that on another level, with practice, we can achieve a “free will in the moment” that is all we would ever want, and need to enjoy this life. The key, is to learn to “UNTHINK”. https://lnkd.in/eXHHVBRH

Did you know, some 90% of your body's free radicals originate in your mitochondria? ⁠ So, your mitochondria are where antioxidants are most needed to address cell stress. ⁠ But the problem is that most antioxidants have trouble reaching your mitochondria — where the vast majority of your body’s free radicals live.⁠ This is why our scientists created MitoQ, a unique antioxidant molecule that is bioavailable to your mitochondria, where it's needed most.⁠ One study suggested that MitoQ increased the level of the essential/vital antioxidant, catalase by an impressive 36%. ⁠ Learn more about the study here: https://bit.ly/3JhvwGj

Sleep is an enduring biological puzzle in that it appears to lack an adaptive advantage and Dr. Susan Harbison's lab is investigating the genetic networks underlying sleep and their interactions with the environment. Learn more about her research: https://go.nih.gov/WyKegvs #NHLBI75

🔬🫁🧬 Exciting Breakthrough in Organ Self-Repair Research! 🚀 Researchers are unraveling the incredible mysteries of our body's innate ability to self-repair organs 🤯. ⚡ Researchers in the lab of Harvard Medical School geneticist Norbert Perrimon have just provided new insight into how regeneration ends by revealing that nerves play a role in helping the injured gut finish healing and return to normal function. #RegenerativeMedicine #OrganRepair #Athenaeumpub

【Doppler Effect: A Look from Biology Aging】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/gVvgAbNM (Authored by Jorge Barragán, from Universidad del Gran Rosario, Argentina.) For any wave system, if there is a difference in relative speed between the source and the waves it produces, a shift in the frequency of the waves will occur, known as the #Doppler_effect. This study investigates heart and respiratory rate data from healthy people of both sexes, verifying the frequency distribution before and after puberty and explores the relationship of the frequency distribution with the evolution of the basal metabolic rate throughout life. The results show that the frequency distribution found is the expression of a generalization of the Doppler effect in the case of biological physical systems. #Oscillatory_Variables #Metabolic_Acceleration
