⚡Gatekeepers of Strength: Allopurinol, Calcium & the RyR Revolution”!   Did you know that an old gout drug might hold the key to reversing age-related muscle weakness and heart failure? Using cryo-EM, researchers found that allopurinol and xanthine derivatives directly activate ryanodine receptors—calcium channels essential for muscle contraction.   💡 This could change how we think about cardiac therapeutics and sarcopenia. Tune in for the full story—explained for med students, researchers, and curious minds alike.   🎧 Listen. Learn. Share. Let’s unlock the...

Dr. Baliga's 'Got Knowledge Doc?' PODKASTS

🧠 Is your brain orchestrating how fast you age? New insights suggest that aging isn’t just about wear and tear—it may be centrally coordinated by the brain through molecules like GDF15, responding to stress, senescence, and energy demands.   💬 Fascinating findings from Nature (June 2025) show how psychological stress accelerates aging at a cellular level—and how lifestyle interventions like exercise may help reverse it.   👇 How are you integrating brain–body science into your approach to aging and wellness?   #AgingScience #BrainHealth #Longevity...
