Sophie Turner Reveals How Joe Jonas Found Out the Ending of Game of Thrones
Reports have been circling for a few weeks now that Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner revealed how the show ends to her fiancé, Joe Jonas. During her recent appearance on Good Morning America, she revealed exactly how her man got ahold of such precious intel. “Actually, he was on set for most of it, so he kind of figured it out, and then he had to sign an NDA,” Turner said. “He had to have full photo approval on set, his camera was covered up, everything.” When asked if Jonas is good at keeping secrets,…
Read MoreMeasurement of thoughts during knowledge acquisition
In a recent learning study they were able to show that new conceptual information is stored along spatial dimensions in form of a mental map located in the hippocampus. Together with colleagues from the Donders Institute at Radboud University in Nijmegen, they observed brain activity patterns that support the idea that the neural mechanisms that support navigation in physical space might also be involved in conceptual learning. “We, as humans, are remarkably flexible in the use of our knowledge: For instance we are able to apply what we have learned…

Exercise helps to prevent the degradation of cartilage caused by osteoarthritis, according to a new study from Queen Mary University of London. The researchers show for the first time how mechanical forces experienced by cells in joints during exercise prevent cartilage degradation by suppressing the action of inflammatory molecules which cause osteoarthritis. The study, published in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, demonstrates the benefits of exercise on the tissues that form our joints and how this is down to tiny hair-like structures called primary cilia found on living cells. During exercise…
Read MoreNatural gene therapy for intractable skin disease discovered
Pathogenic gene mutations causing a type of intractable skin disease can be eliminated from some parts of patients’ skin as they age, according to Hokkaido University researchers and their collaborators in Japan. This represents a form of natural gene therapy. In general, there is no fundamental treatment method capable of curing diseases caused by gene abnormality because it is difficult to remove certain genetic mutations from all affected cells. Loricrin keratoderma (LK) is one such disease; caused by loricrin mutations, it is characterized by dry, thickened, scaly skin from birth.…
