🫀 The Heart Ages—But Can We Intervene?   New insights from Nature Reviews Cardiology highlight how endothelial dysfunction, inflammageing, CHIP, and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASP) drive cardiovascular ageing. Promising interventions—from gerotherapeutic diets and exercise to NAD+ boosters, senolytics, and ACBP neutralization—may help delay decline and promote resilience.   💡 Can we target the biology of ageing to extend cardiovascular healthspan, not just lifespan?   👇 Join the conversation: Which intervention holds the most promise—and what...

🌞 New Guidelines on Vitamin D Supplementation! 💊🧪 JAMA’s latest synopsis recommends empirical vitamin D dosing—without routine testing—for children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with prediabetes. The evidence? Conditional, with wide confidence intervals—but the low cost and minimal harm may tip the scales.   Let’s discuss: Is this the dawn of “test less, dose more” in preventive medicine? #VitaminD #PublicHealth #Endocrinology #JAMA #ClinicalGuidelines #PreventiveCare

Vasubandhu was a 4th–5th century Indian Buddhist monk, philosopher, and co-founder of the Yogācāra school of Mahayana Buddhism. Renowned for his works on Abhidharma, he developed key philosophical concepts such as “consciousness-only” (vijñaptimātra) and authored texts on Buddhist metaphysics, logic, and meditation. His influential treatises, including Abhidharmakośa and Thirty Verses, significantly shaped Buddhist thought in India, Tibet, and East Asia.
