Health News:Discovery could open door to frozen preservation of whole organs ♦ New strategy discovered for treating arthritis ♦ Can physical exercise enhance long-term memory?

Discovery could open door to frozen preservation of tissues, whole organs A new approach to 'vitrification,' or ice-free cryopreservation, has been discovered, which could ultimately allow a much wider use of extreme cold to preserve tissues and even organs for later use.
New strategy discovered for treating arthritis Arthritis patients could one day benefit from a novel form of medicine, according to researchers.

Mice that spent time running on wheels not only developed twice the normal number of new neurons, but also showed an increased ability to distinguish new objects from familiar objects
