So it’s all in your head? New implications for the #brain in age-related #muscleweakness: in older adults, electrode-stimulated muscles can often generate more force than self-generated resistance, suggesting a role for the nervous system #livebetterlonger https://t.co/hk7Q6xyevb

This is the rare occasion when it’s nice to be described as salamander-like. Humans are able to regrow cartilage using #microRNAs similar to those in salamanders—now we just have to figure out how to do it better #livebetterlonger https://t.co/aDUa9I1dob
