❤️‍🩹 Cardiovascular disease doesn’t affect just one heart — it impacts relationships. A new comprehensive review published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology highlights how intimate partner relationships play a critical role in cardiac recovery and long-term health

🔬 What does the science tell us?

Researchers analyzed 12 randomized controlled trials involving more than 1,400 patient–partner dyads to evaluate couples-based interventions in heart disease care. The findings are insightful:

❤️ Health behaviours improved in ~77% of studies
👉 Better physical activity, medication adherence, smoking cessation, and dietary habits when partners were involved

🧠 Mental health outcomes were mixed
👉 Some reductions in anxiety and depression, especially when emotional support was addressed

🏥 Why does this matter for cardiac rehabilitation?
Social support and relationship quality are as influential as traditional risk factors like cholesterol or physical inactivity. The review recommends a stepped-care approach in cardiac rehab:

✔️ Brief education on the role of relationships in heart health
✔️ Relationship-enhancement programs for distressed couples
✔️ Referral to specialized couples therapy when needed

✨ Key takeaway:
Treating heart disease may be more effective when we care for the couple, not just the patient. Integrating emotional and relational components could be the next frontier in cardiac rehabilitation.

📆 On February 12, we celebrate the birth of Charles Darwin (1809–1882), a scientist whose ideas reshaped biology forever 🧬🌍

Darwin is best known for developing the theory of evolution by natural selection, a groundbreaking concept that explained how species change over time. Through careful observation during his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle 🚢 and years of meticulous research, Darwin showed that individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits to future generations.

📖 His seminal work, On the Origin of Species (1859), provided a unifying framework for understanding the diversity of life, adaptation, and common ancestry. These ideas laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology, genetics, ecology, and even medicine.

🔬 More than a century later, Darwin’s insights continue to influence how we study life, nature, and our place within it 🌱

🔬👩‍🔬 The International Day of Women and Girls in Science, established by the United Nations, highlights a critical truth: women and girls remain underrepresented in STEM fields worldwide, particularly in leadership, decision-making roles, and emerging scientific disciplines. This gap is not about ability, it’s about access, opportunity, and systemic barriers.

💡 Why does this matter?

✔️ Diverse scientific teams lead to stronger innovation and better research outcomes
✔️ Gender equality in science supports sustainable development and economic growth
✔️ Inclusive research ensures science reflects and benefits all of society
✔️ Ensuring equal access to quality education, mentorship, research funding, and scientific careers is essential, not only for fairness, but for the future of global science and the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

💜✨ Let’s celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Together, we can build a future where science has no gender, and every girl feels empowered to dream, discover, and lead.

Parkinson’s disease is often viewed through a motor lens, but science tells a more interconnected story. A recent study reveals a shared molecular pathway linking Parkinson’s disease, depressive disorder, and gut dysfunction through what researchers call the inflammation–miRNA axis.

🔬 What’s the key finding?
Across human postmortem brain samples and validated mouse models, researchers identified a conserved microRNA pattern characterized by:

⬇️ Downregulation of miR-199a-5p and miR-219a-5p
⬆️ Upregulation of miR-200a-3p

This miRNA triad is tightly associated with:
✔️ Chronic neuroinflammation (TNFα, IFN-γ, NFκB1 activation)
✔️ Microglial and astroglial responses
✔️ Altered serotonin signaling, critical for mood and gut motility

🧠➡️🦠 Why does the gut matter?
Remarkably, the same inflammatory–miRNA profile was found not only in the brain, but also in the ileum, directly implicating the gut–brain axis. This helps explain why depression and gastrointestinal symptoms often appear early in Parkinson’s disease—sometimes even before motor signs.

💡 Why this matters?
By uncovering a shared molecular convergence, this work opens the door to:

✔️ Earlier biomarkers
✔️ Novel therapeutic strategies targeting miRNAs
✔️ Treatments that could simultaneously address neurological, psychiatric, and gastrointestinal symptoms

📖 Curious to dive deeper into the molecular mechanisms behind this triad? Read the full article ⬇️

🧠✨Science Spotlight: Alan Hodgkin

Did you know that our understanding of how nerve cells communicate has its roots in groundbreaking work from the 1950s? British physicist and neuroscientist Sir Alan Hodgkin helped uncover how electrical signals travel along nerve fibers, transforming neuroscience forever.

In recognition of this achievement, Hodgkin shared the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on the fundamental mechanisms of the central nervous system ⚡🔬. His discoveries continue to shape research in neuroscience, medicine, and biophysics today.

A powerful reminder that curiosity-driven science can change how we understand the human body and improve lives worldwide 🌍.
