Our bodies cannot distinguish between nanoparticles and viruses, but we have immune cells that specialise in consuming and removing viruses. However, the same cells also consume nanodrugs, and this may offer us new immunotherapies to help combat cancer. Stock photo: Shutterstock Standard Researchers...

Dalen-Lorentsen, who has a PhD in sports medicine and has worked closely with elite sportsmen and women, doesn’t think that warming up is appropriate in all situations. He believes that it all depends on the kind of activity session you’re planning to do. Because warming up and the activity itself are essentially...
