Start with an unladen 800. For the second run, wear a loaded rucksack—heavy, but still allowing you to move at a good clip. Next, keep the pack on and carry a dumbbell. Then, add another dumbbell. By this point, you should be loaded up enough that 100 meters is quite difficult—probably requiring a break to make it through. Finally, disencumber yourself and sprint another 800.

Are You a Carboholic?
Why cutting carbs is so tough
Gary Taubes explores why cutting carbohydrates can feel almost addictive, coining the term "carboholic" to describe this phenomenon. He explains that even small amounts of carb-rich foods spark an insulin response that sends energy to fat cells, leaving other cells starved—and triggering cravings for more carbs. Experts like Drs. Ludwig and Lustig echo this, noting that reducing insulin levels tends to reduce these cravings, while reintroducing carbs often leads people straight back to old habits. Taubes and others suggest that eating satiating fats can help suppress such carb-driven binge behaviors.

Targeting the Mitochondrial-Stem Cell Connection in Cancer Treatment:
A Hybrid Orthomolecular Protocol
The mitochondrial-stem cell connection (MSCC) theory builds on the metabolic theory of cancer, which holds that cancer originates primarily from impaired energy metabolism in cells—specifically dysfunctional oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) in the mitochondria—rather than solely from genetic mutations. In the MSCC model, when stem cells lose efficient mitochondrial function, they can transform into cancer stem cells (CSCs), which drive tumor growth, recurrence, and resistance to treatment. Conventional therapies often target DNA mutations but do not restore mitochondrial function or eradicate CSCs, which can limit long-term success.

27-year-old Nature paper earns expression of concern
Delayed response to image manipulation
Nature has issued an editorial expression of concern for a 1998 paper after it was found that Figure 1a contained duplicated and flipped control lanes, an issue first raised on PubPeer in 2016. Despite the early alert, the journal only acted in June 2025—nearly nine years later—stating that without access to the raw data, the concern was the most appropriate way to inform readers.

Role of advanced glycation end products in cardiovascular disease
AGEs form under hyperglycemic conditions like diabetes.
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) form through non‑enzymatic glycation and oxidation of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, especially under hyperglycemic conditions like diabetes. AGEs promote cardiovascular disease by cross-linking extracellular matrix proteins—such as collagen and elastin—altering tissue structure and increasing stiffness, while also activating their cell-surface receptor RAGE to trigger intracellular signaling pathways (e.g. p21^ras, MAPK, NF‑κB). This leads to inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, reduced NO availability, and upregulation of adhesion molecules and cytokines, all of which contribute to atherosclerosis, vascular stiffening, and heart failure. Clinical correlations show higher serum AGE levels associated with severity of heart failure, and early studies suggest that interventions targeting AGE formation or AGE–RAGE signaling may hold therapeutic promise.
