Echo Point, Blue Mountains.

During the past week we’ve discussed a number of great links; on Google+, Twitter, Nuzzel The Daily ‘Paper’ and so on. Here are a few of my favourites.

• Graphene Running Shoes : Good stuff. Hope this combination (graphene/synthetic rubber) quickly finds uses in a load of other clothing.
• Exercise Can Change Gut Microbial Composition (Independent Of Diet) : Very interesting research – look forward to seeing more on this.
• Holography-Based 3D Printing : Interesting – hope this leads to the rapid printing of replacement human organs.
• Boosting The Regenerative Potential Of Adult Tissues (To Help Prevent – And Even Reverse – Age-Related Losses) By Inhibiting TOR : Fascinating research.
• Modifying CRISPR/Cas9 To Activate Genes Without Creating Breaks In The DNA : Should lead to a range of treatments (this research involved the treatment of diabetes, kidney disease and muscular dystrophy in mouse models; human trials soon). Promising indeed.

We also talked about Physical endurance, working memory and cognitive function, Healthy mitochondria and the tackling of Alzheimer’s disease and a whole lot more. Keep up with the World of Health & Fitness in the Straight to the Bar Community on Google+.
