Antimatter has intrigued and confounded physicists for almost a century, and the effect of gravity on antimatter has been a point of disagreement. New research may have settled the debate by finding that antihydrogen atoms, the antimatter counterpart o… Continue reading Antigravity disproved: Antimatter responds to gravity just like matter
Researchers have developed an AI model that can predict in real-time whether a surgeon has removed all cancerous tissue during breast cancer surgery by examining a mammogram of the removed tissue. The model performed as well as, or better than, human d… Continue reading AI model improves cancer tumor removal during breast surgery
It’s well known that good food is the foundation of good health. In the US, poor nutrition and food insecurity are major contributors to poor health outcomes and excess healthcare spending. A new report suggests that implementing medically tailored mea… Continue reading National food prescriptions would save US lives & billions of dollars
Researchers have developed a quick and easy way to turn the wood-based bioproduct lignin into nanoparticles that can create a transparent coating with anti-fog properties or a colorful antireflective surface. The discovery transforms this abundant wast… Continue reading Wood waste transformed into transparent, anti-fog coating
Researchers have provided experimental proof of a pathway that controls aging, finding that quieting some mobile DNA sequences in roundworms led to a longer life. Not only does the discovery provide a greater understanding of how we age, but it also op… Continue reading “Jumping genes” pathway provides a potential way to slow aging
Researchers investigating how specialized immune cells called killer T cells change over the course of our lives have found that, in older age, these cells are replaced by less effective versions that struggle to fight viral invaders. The world-first d… Continue reading Immune cells replaced by suboptimal versions in older adulthood
A new study has found that bioactive compounds in brown seaweed, local to South Australia, inhibited the breakdown of essential skin proteins and significantly increased collagen levels compared to commercially available anti-skin-aging agents. It pave… Continue reading South Australian seaweed found to have anti-skin-aging properties
A new study has identified rare genetic variants associated with male pattern hair loss, including two that haven’t been identified before. In addition to increasing our understanding of the condition, the findings may pave the way for personalized the… Continue reading New rare gene discovery provides further insights into male hair loss
A new study has found that light therapy applied to mice during deep sleep increased the brain’s ability to clear away beta-amyloid, a toxic protein linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The finding may lead to a non-drug, non-invasive treatment for the condition.

A new study has found that a bioactive compound found in coffee beans improved learning and memory decline in aged mice. The findings open the door to developing a supplementary medicinal compound to treat or prevent age-related cognitive decline.Conti… Continue reading Coffee compound improves age-related decline in memory and learning
