Reply to Scientists discovered that a change in the brain's neural pathways while dieting facilitates rebound weight gain, this discovery could be a target for drugs to combat the yo-yo effect by giuliomagnifico

trueee, but in combating the yoyo effect you would desensitize a mechanism and this would result in a lifelong treatment plan. Might just be preferable to use the old ozempic if it proves to be safe longterm. Although adjuncts are always nice if all else fails.

Reply to comment by wascilly_wabbit in Study reveals that although private automobiles continue to be the dominant travel mode in American cities, the share of car trips has slightly and steadily decreased since its peak in 2001. In contrast, the share of transit, non-motorized, and taxicab trips has steadily increased by giuliomagnifico

because they are counted as taxicab trips. just add up the numbers if it bothers you

Reply to comment by InterminousVerminous in New psychology research provides insight into the impact of sexual passion styles among long-term couples: Too much control over one’s sexual passion harms the sexual satisfaction of both partners by lolfuys

>Overall, the study showed that inhibited sexual passion had a strong negative effect on sexual satisfaction of both partners.

The only thing resolute that can be gained from this is that not being horny is not conducive to a healthy sexual relationship. Well euh... Kudos

Reply to comment by Robot-Candy in Research finds people who are married have a lower risk of developing dementia after the age of 70 than those who are unmarried or divorced. Previous studies suggest that being married later in life protects against dementia, and that being single in old age increases the risk of dementia by Wagamaga

It's not like the research could have picked up that those with predementia and or other health factors predisposing to cognitive decline in middle age are likelier to end up unmarried. Loneliness is horrible, but given the right cognitive functioning it should not even occur in the first place.

im pretty sure there is an error correction mechanism that removes genetic sequences which seem out of place or mutations. no idea how likely it is to always work, but infected cells are cleaned up through autophagy, programmed apoptosis (this is like murder and suicide), so viral sequences will most likely be removed at some point. chronic viral infections like aids and herpes are forever though. edit: i do not have a degree or anything in this area, so if you want to know more im sure youtube has simple videos explaining these things

mrna transcriptase makes dna into mrna. reverse transcriptase makes mrna into dna. this gets laced into the nucleus dna via a few other enzymes. im a bit rusty on the specifics but there are a few mechanisms through which this proces can take place throughout all organic life. its how bacteria exchange antibiotic resistance genes and such

cause they integrate into your dna via reverse mrna transciptase. this is only a concern with specific viruses types and only when you get older and immune system gets weaker. thinking of aids or herpes family viruses here. edit: also stress due to exhaustion will deplete your natural dna restoration mechanisms and immunity against cells showing abberant behavior, so then you get flare ups causing pathological damage to tissues
