Researchers have identified the molecular pathway that allows male mosquitoes to hear females, a factor that’s crucial to their reproduction. The discovery could lead to the development of insecticides that exploit this pathway as a novel way of contro… Continue reading Targeting mosquito hearing to reduce disease transmission
Researchers have created a 3D-printed plant-based calamari ring that’s high in protein and looks and tastes like the real thing. The mock seafood has the potential to address issues of overfishing by offering a sustainable, vegan alternative.Continue R… Continue reading 3D-printed plant-based calamari rings may soon be on the menu
A new study has found that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, damages the genes of the mitochondria, the cell’s energy generators, causing dysfunction in organs other than the lungs that continues after the lungs have recovered. The finding ma… Continue reading Long COVID may be caused by damage to cells’ energy generators
Researchers have discovered the way that red blood cell particles interact with white blood cells called macrophages to reduce inflammation and the formation of fatty deposits on arterial walls. They say their findings offer a potential treatment for t… Continue reading Red blood cell find could lead to treatment for arterial fat deposits
Researchers have identified a new molecular pathway that stimulates injured brain cells to repair themselves after an ischemic stroke. The discovery may help limit or reverse the damage caused by the condition and promote recovery.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading New mechanism discovered that stimulates brain self-repair after stroke
A new study suggests that people with low levels of vitamin K in their blood are more likely to have reduced lung function and to report lung problems like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or wheezing.Continue ReadingCategory: Heal… Continue reading Feeling wheezy? Study links low vitamin K levels to lung issues
It’s not often that inflammation gets a good rap. It’s been linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. But a new study may have uncovered a positive use for the body’s natural response to irritants. Researchers have found that … Continue reading Inflammation found to slow the progression of the malaria parasite
Microplastics are everywhere, including being found to enter our bodies through cavities exposed to the outside world. Two new studies have further examined the effect of microplastics on our health, with one finding that they cause brain inflammation … Continue reading Microplastics trigger brain inflammation, found in heart tissue
A new worldwide meta-analysis has looked at the minimum number of steps needed to reduce the risk of dying from any cause and cardiovascular disease. The study shows that it takes fewer steps than we first thought to reap the health benefits of walking… Continue reading Walking just 4,000 steps a day can reduce your risk of death
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking vaccine that generates two types of immunity against the Epstein-Barr virus, a virus that almost all of us carry and which has been found to be a primary cause of diseases like multiple sclerosis and some can… Continue reading Groundbreaking Epstein-Barr virus vaccine may prevent MS
