A study looking at the health records of nearly 200,000 people in the United Kingdom has found a link between cancer and the consumption of ultra-processed foods. The researchers call for health warnings to be added to these foods but other experts sug… Continue reading Researchers call for health warning labels on ultra-processed foods
Unlike normal skin, scar tissue doesn’t contain any hair follicles. New research now indicates that when such follicles are transplanted into scar tissue, that tissue changes to become much more like uninjured skin.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sc… Continue reading Study suggests hair follicle transplants could eliminate scars

By using machine learning and cutting-edge microscopes, scientists have uncovered what they believe to be a new form of communication between cancer cells. Described as a “type of electrical language,” the discovery may be key to the way cells within t… Continue reading “Electrical language” of cancer cells may spill secrets of tumor growth
Among the many mechanisms shaping the Antarctic ice sheet are the processes playing out in its lower layers, and a newly discovered sub-glacial river suggests it may drain away faster than we thought. Scientists say the 460-km-long (285-mile) river sho… Continue reading 460-km-long river discovered snaking though base of Antarctic ice sheet
Building or repairing structures in difficult-to-reach locations is a daunting task, as bringing in the cranes, scaffolding and whatnot can be quite difficult. That’s why scientists are creating a honeybee-inspired system, which uses flying 3D-printing… Continue reading Bee-inspired technology uses aerial drones to 3D-print structures
When it comes to keeping mosquitoes from spreading malaria, some proposed approaches involve killing the insects, or stopping them from acquiring malaria parasites. A new method, however, stunts the growth of the parasites once they’re in the mosquito’… Continue reading Modified mosquitoes die before their malaria parasites become infectious
Asthma is an incredibly common disease that’s usually managed by treating the symptoms. But new research shows a potential way to target a root cause of the disease, with a molecule preventing structural changes in the airways of asthmatic mice and all… Continue reading New treatment for a root cause of asthma proves promising in mice tests
The world’s most sensitive dark matter detector is up and running, ready to tackle one of the most perplexing mysteries of the universe. With a sensitivity at least 50 times greater than its predecessors, the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is lurking quiet… Continue reading World’s most sensitive dark matter detector joins the hunt for WIMPs
A new systematic review has found repurposing some drugs currently used for ADHD and depression could offer small improvements to cognitive symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The review focused on a family of drugs developed to stimulate the brain’s noradrenaline system.
