The city is getting ready to revamp hundreds of street signs that walking advocates say are misleading. No Exit signs, erected as warnings for drivers, often do not apply to pedestrians, according to Coun. Paula Fletcher, whose motion titled I m Walking Here was approved at this week s council meeting. I think during COVID people have been walking like they ve never walked before, said Fletcher, who represents Ward 14, Toronto-Danforth.

LA JOLLA (April 1, 2021) Neurons lack the ability to replicate their DNA, so they re constantly working to repair damage to their genome. Now, a new study by Salk scientists finds that these repairs are not random, but instead focus on protecting certain genetic hot spots that appear to play a critical role in neural identity and function.
The findings, published in the April 2, 2021, issue of
Science, give novel insights into the genetic structures involved in aging and neurodegeneration, and could point to the development of potential new therapies for diseases such Alzheimer s, Parkinson s and other age-related dementia disorders.
