In 2020, mortality climbed worldwide, but dropped in rural Bangladesh. Geochemist Lex van Geen works at the intersection of public health and environmental risks. His research on natural arsenic contamination in groundwater has alerted the world community to this insidious danger...

Japanese children develop their manner of walking differently from children in other countries. Researchers discovered that the way Japanese children walk, or their gait, develops differently from children in other nations. Gait is a complicated, unconscious motor pattern that is required for the ma...

Front-loading calories early in the day reduces hunger but does not affect weight loss. In dieting, there’s the old saying that one should “breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper.” It is based on the belief that consuming the bulk of daily calories in the morning optimize...

Brazilian scientists propose conducting experiments using lab-grown mini-brains to study the effects of drugs on fetal brain development. Depression affects a significant portion of pregnant women worldwide, with estimates ranging from 10% to 16%. While most women can improve with the help of antide...

Researchers at Scripps Research discovered that apremilast (Otezla®) can reduce alcohol consumption by over 50% in individuals with severe alcohol use disorder. A clinical trial conducted by Scripps Research Institute has revealed that apremilast, an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of psor...

Analysis of meteorites reveals that Earth’s water and essential volatiles likely originated from asteroids beyond Jupiter, challenging the notion that the inner Solar System was the primary source of these materials. Imperial College London researchers have discovered the probable distant origin of ...

The Houston Methodist team employed a bacterial protein which effectively reduced cholesterol levels by more than 40% within a span of three hours. Researchers at Houston Methodist have restored fertility in infertile mice by lowering their high cholesterol levels using a bacterial protein, reinforc...

“Our brain continues to develop longer than we thought,” states Ph.D. student Dorien van Blooijs. According to recent findings from the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht), our brain’s decline occurs later than previously believed. The study, published in Nature Neurosc...

Scientists Unveil Solutions to Enigmatic Radar Characteristics of Jupiter and Saturn’s Moons A collaborative investigation led by Dr. Jason Hofgartner, Senior Research Scientist at the Southwest Research Institute, sheds light on the puzzling radar signatures of icy satellites orbiting Jupiter and S...

The mission is gathering observations with airborne sensors, a research ship, and autonomous instruments like gliders that skim the upper layers of the Pacific Ocean. NASA’s S-MODE mission is conducting its third expedition to study the role of ocean surface eddies in climate change. By using ...

A study reveals that the 3D genome structure shapes cancer mutations, unexpectedly linking alcohol-related mutations to early-replicated DNA and providing a new research resource. Scientists from the University of California San Diego have discovered a link between the topography of the human genome...

Bone cavities called air sacs emerged in the precursors of long-necked dinosaurs around 225 million years ago, according to the analysis of a specimen found in Rio Grande do Sul state, South Brazil. The missing link has just been found, bridging the gap between the earliest dinosaurs, which varied s...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, collaborating internationally, used data science, pharmacology, and structural details to explore at the atomic level how each amino acid in the adrenaline-binding receptor affects its activity when interacting with this natural ligand. They...

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) can provide nearly 10 times higher energy density compared to the present Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and hence are identified as one of the potential future storage systems. However, LMBs pose certain safety concerns and cannot be used for fast-charging applications....

Scientists at Scripps Research have developed atomic-level structural models of enzymes linked to autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, such as lupus and Alzheimer’s disease. When nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA, accumulate in a cell’s cytoplasm, they trigger an alert to the immune s...

Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys have discovered positive connections between certain HIV medications and Alzheimer’s disease. Nearly seven million individuals in the U.S. are currently battling Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and projections suggest this number could rise to almost 13 million ...

New research reveals that spinal cord neurons possess the capability to learn and retain information independently of the brain. The spinal cord is often described as merely a conduit for transmitting signals between the brain and the body. However, the spinal cord can actually learn and remember mo...

The first high-precision image of a seismic fault zone transforms our knowledge of earthquakes. The idea that earthquakes release stress by a single strong quake along a single fault plane may need to be corrected. Recent research conducted by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), in collabor...

Observations from airborne and ground-based sources offer unique data and engage the public. Teams led by Southwest Research Institute successfully executed two groundbreaking experiments — by land and air — collecting unique solar data from the total eclipse that cast a shadow from Texas to Maine o...

Researchers show that the possible cause of local bone erosion in cholesteatomas are fibroblasts from the bone that express a protein called activin A. Chronic inflammation of the middle ear can cause several problems and complications that can affect a person’s hearing and balance. One such problem...

Research at an archaeological site near Laguna challenges the hypothesis that the Southern Jê’s ancestors displaced the communities that constructed shell middens and burial mounds (sambaquis) along the coast of Santa Catarina state for over 5,000 years. Brazilian researchers have revised the ...

Removing the bursa during rotator cuff surgery may impair healing, as it plays a crucial role in tendon and bone health. Research suggests that surgeons should reconsider its removal and explore its use for drug delivery to improve repair outcomes. A new study from orthopedic scientists and biomedic...
