Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development opens the door to improving our ability to visualize,… Continue reading New two-in-one microscope gives a detailed glimpse inside cells
Researchers have mapped the complex nerve pathways that supply brown adipose tissue, otherwise known as ‘brown fat’. It’s the first step in developing a way of stimulating the nerves to burn fat as a novel treatment for obesity and related metabolic co… Continue reading Mapping nerves that supply brown fat a step toward new obesity treatment
A new study has found that renting privately is more strongly associated with faster biological aging – how old your cells are regardless of actual age – than unemployment or being an ex-smoker. The findings highlight the important link between housing… Continue reading Renting ages your cells faster than unemployment or being an ex-smoker
Researchers have used plasma technology to transform a species of blue-green microalgae into a bioactive coating with incredible wound-healing properties. They say the novel coating can be applied to dressings and medical devices to protect patients fr… Continue reading Plasma tech transforms blue-green algae into a wound-healing wonder
A new study has found that exposure to light at night messes with our internal body clock, increasing the risk of mental illness, while daytime light exposure reduces that risk. The findings offer a simple and effective, non-pharmacological means of im… Continue reading Exposure to light at night found to increase risk of depression by 30%
Researchers have found that replacing a nutrient that pancreatic cancer cells rely on to survive and grow with a copycat version starves the cancer, slowing its spread. The finding opens the door to an entirely new approach to treating this deadly type… Continue reading Replacing a critical nutrient with a mimic starves pancreatic cancer
Researchers have found that remnants left over after a cell divides contain RNA that, when taken up by other cells, can spread cancer’s genetic blueprint. The finding opens the door to harnessing this mechanism as a way of treating cancer.Continue Read… Continue reading Leftovers of cell division spread cancer’s genetic blueprint
With a continuing hot streak felt across the Earth, 2023 is now on track to be the warmest year on record. And September was no exception; in fact, it broke existing records by a large margin, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).Co… Continue reading Monthly temperature for September hits another record high
A new study has found that people with non-COVID respiratory infections such as colds, flu, and pneumonia can suffer from ‘long’ symptoms that persist well beyond the acute infection stage. The findings increase awareness about the existence of long-la… Continue reading Move over long COVID, ‘long colds’ are a thing, too
Researchers have found that treating Special Operations Forces veterans with two psychedelics improved their mental health symptoms and, unexpectedly, their cognitive functioning. The findings underscore the benefits of psychedelic therapy, especially … Continue reading Psychedelics improve mental health & cognition in Special Ops vets
