Long Standing Physical Chemistry Mystery Solved
How does a proton move through water? In 1806, Theodor Grotthuss proposed his theory, since when many others attempted an updated solution realizing that Grotthuss was incorrect, but it remained the standard textbook answer. Until now.

Oxytocin Has Heart “Healing” Properties
Researchers show that, in zebrafish and human cell cultures, oxytocin has an unsuspected function: it stimulates stem cells derived from the heart’s outer layer (epicardium) to migrate into its middle layer (myocardium) and there develop into cardiomyocytes, muscle cells that generate heart contractions.
