A new study suggests when menthols are unavailable, people who prefer them will opt for replacement therapies like nicotine gum. "We can improve health outcomes by emphasizing policies that reduce sales of flavored products and increase accessibility of nicotine replacement therapies,” said Roberta Freitas-Lemos, the study's lead author.

To date, no treatments for systolic heart failure target heart muscle contraction and mitochondrial activity at the same time. But Junco Warren and her team recently discovered that delivery of the Perm1 gene in mouse models can simultaneously boost the strength of the heart muscle and boost mitochondria production. The result? A stronger heart with more energy. Their work indicates a potential pathway for heart disease treatment. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/eVaTyRxq
