*It's Not Just You: Scientists Say 👉Modern Life Is Pushing The Human Mind Beyond Its Limits👈: *

Via #ScienceAlert*

Humans evolved 2 fit small groups of familiar people + to respond to immediate, recognizable threats.
What we live with now are vast communities, constant connection + a multitude of overlapping pressures that create a heightened sense of competition..."evolutionary mismatch" is then leading 2 significant problems

Naukowcy z Japonii odkryli, że zwiększenie poziomu mitochondrialnego białka COX7RP u myszy wydłuża ich życie średnio o 6,6% i spowalnia procesy starzenia. COX7RP wspiera tworzenie tzw. superkompleksów w mitochondriach, co poprawia efektywność produkcji energii i zmniejsza ryzyko chorób związanych z wiekiem. Myszy z dodatkowym COX7RP wykazywały lepszy metabolizm, mniej oznak zapalenia i dłuższy okres zdrowego życia. Wyniki sugerują, że manipulacja tym białkiem może stać się kluczem do przyszłych terapii przeciwstarzeniowych.

(1kg cement = 1kg CO2, our concrete lasts max. 50-100 years. That is a massive problem. We could use some of the Roman's self healing concrete lasting 2000 years.) (But of course, the profits...🙄 )
