Salman, MacKerell @umsop, Semenza @HopkinsMedicine et al. develop the first dual HIF-1/2 inhibitors that bind to the most highly conserved domains of both proteins, show activity against a range of cancers, are orally bioavailable, (1/2) hubs.la/Q049rXBs0

That “worst headache of your life” could be more than a headache. Dr. Robert Wicks, neurosurgeon at Baptist Health Miami Neuroscience Institute, explains how a brain bleed (hemorrhage) can happen suddenly and why acting fast can save a life.
Watch for:
🍍Sudden, severe headache
🍍Vision changes
🍍Loss of balance or confusion
🍍 Weakness or numbness on one side
Call 911 right away if you notice these signs.

Engaging in creative, skill-based activities like dance, music, visual arts, or gaming can reduce your brain's biological age by ~6 years.
Researchers measured the 'brain age gap' (the difference between predicted and actual brain age) and found that creative experts had significantly younger brains.
This expertise translates to greater neural connectivity in brain regions responsible for motor control, precise timing, mental imagery, and salience detection. They also had more efficient local and global neural networks, which is a signature of robust cognitive function.
Healthy brain aging isn't just about nutrition and exercise protocols. Deliberately challenging your brain with creative and skill-intensive pursuits profoundly enhances neural resilience and longevity.

“It turns out it was not a grizzly bear and she said, “You won the Nobel Prize!”
Yesterday Fred Ramsdell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine but, at the time, he and his wife were completely off-grid camping in Yellowstone National Park.
Unsurprisingly when they finally returned to an area with phone service the messages poured in. Ramsdell talked to us on his way home from Yellowstone, sharing how a day that began with wildlife spotting can end up with the Nobel Prize.

Great to have a chance this week to spend a couple of days as neurosurgery visiting professor at the @uvmvermont. Wonderful hospitality hosted by the chair, Dr. Bruce Tranmer, and my former fellow Dr. Brandon Liebelt, now a very successful skull base surgeon in his own right.
