That’s interesting that GPLD1 is released from the liver through exercise and it’s what keeps the blood-brain barrier healthy. I wonder why exercise is the trigger? why is it not released on a schedule?

But also, oops, you cant vote, sucks that you were going to vote for us anyway

That’s a real boneitis situation

Isn’t lithium already used to treat bipolar disorder? I don’t know that it’s this lithium orotate they are talking about, but it feels like it would be good data to check rates of Alzheimer’s on people using lithium as treatment for bipolar disorder.

Either way, I hope this pans out into something useful for once.

Appreciate an expert’s input. So this is not so much a new discovery as a new method of creating these 3D double bonds that were previously a much bigger pain to create. That is progress, but not the “new frontier” level progress the article tries to sell you on.

I did my best to read through it, but I am not a chemistry buff, so this is my best attempt at explaining it. In molecules, the bonds between atoms can be single, double or triple, but it was a stated rule that double bonds only formed in 2D molecules. This discovery proves that is not the case and a double bonded atom can indeed take a 3D shape. With this limit removed in the shapes molecules can take. This is an opening for a huge jump in medicine and other chemistry related discoveries/creations as the set of tools chemists have to play with opened up just a little further.
