Title: Scientists Reveal the Secrets Behind Mussels’ Adhesive Powess A team of chemists from McGill University in Canada and Charité-Universitätsmedizin in Germany have made a groundbreaking discovery that sheds light on how mussels are able to attach themselves to rocks with such strength and quickly release themselves. Their findings, published in the prestigious journal Science, provide valuable new insights into the complex process by which mussels adhere to surfaces. The majority of previous research on the adhesive properties of mussels has focused on the chemical binding mechanisms involved. However, this recent study took a different approach, examining the dynamics of…

Title: Potential Treatment for Long-COVID Parosmia Shows Promising Results In a breakthrough discovery, researchers have identified a potential treatment for long-COVID patients suffering from parosmia, a condition that impairs the sense of smell. Parosmia has been found to afflict up to 60% of COVID-19 patients, with symptoms persisting for months or even years after infection. The innovative treatment involves a minimally invasive procedure known as CT-guided stellate ganglion block. This procedure stimulates the autonomic nervous system by injecting anesthetic into the stellate ganglion, a cluster of nerves located in the neck. The entire procedure can be completed in less than…
