Use electricity to manage joint and muscle pain with a TENS unit
A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator, or TENS unit, uses electricity to naturally relieve pain in joints, muscles, and deep tissue. Sometimes a TENS unit includes an EMS setting or electronic muscle stimulation, to encourage muscle growth. An.....»»
How yeasts manage to compensate for the genetic imbalance of extra chromosomes
Having extra chromosomes is typically an issue for an organism and can disrupt development or cause disease. But some cells benefit instead. For example, cancer cells or pathogenic yeasts can use extra chromosomes to escape treatment and become drug-.....»»
NASA"s heliophysics experiment to study the sun on European mission
