As reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers showed this finding was even more relevant in women who had a much lower incidence of atherothrombotic heart attack then men at 47% versus 75% of cases.

She’s on our beauty podcast, Clean Beauty School, this week chatting about her beauty philosophy, how to keep skin looking younger for longer, and what ingredients actually deliver the results you want (according to loads of research, too).

Health secretary Wes Streeting has slammed what he called extraordinarily naive and self-defeating” general practitioners in a speech to the BMA.Streeting was speaking at the union’s special representative meeting on Sunday 14 September, where BMA members debated the government’s 10 year plan for the NHS.BMA representatives passed a motion supporting GPs to re-enter into dispute with the government over the 10 year plan,1 warning that the plan posed an “existential threat” to the GP partnership model and the “very concept of the family doctor.”The BMA’s General Practitioners Committee (GPC) for England ended its previous dispute with the government earlier this…

UC Davis researchers tracked the movement of fluorescent particles inside the cells of microscopic worms, providing novel insights into cellular crowding in a multicellular animal. They found that the cytoplasm inside the worms was significantly more crowded and compartmentalized than in single-celled yeast or mammalian tissue culture cells, which are more commonly used to gauge internal cellular dynamics. The scientists published their study “Giant KASH proteins and ribosomes establish distinct cytoplasmic biophysical properties in vivo” in Science Advances. This difference highlights the importance of studying cellular processes in living animals rather than cell culture, said first author Xiangyi Ding, a…
