New research has found that daily users of crystal methamphetamine who turned to cannabis to manage their cravings used the stimulant drug less, especially female users. The findings suggest a new harm-reduction strategy is needed for people who use il… Continue reading Cannabis may be the gateway out of drug addiction
A new study has found a link between high blood insulin levels, frequently seen in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and pancreatic cancer. The researchers say their findings may lead to new cancer prevention strategies and targeting treatments … Continue reading High blood insulin levels linked to pancreatic cancer in new study
Locating diamond deposits in the earth isn’t always an exact science, so the greater the number of methods of doing so, the better. A new study now suggests that soil microbes may point the way to such buried treasures.Continue ReadingCategory: Science… Continue reading Microbes in surface soil may indicate presence of diamonds down below
A new study has found that four major childhood allergies share a common feature: an imbalance of gut bacteria during infancy. It’s hoped that the findings will inform treatments that correct the gut microbiome in children, potentially preventing lifel… Continue reading Gut bacteria imbalances in infancy linked to major childhood allergies
Researchers may have found an effective, green way to remove microplastics from our water using readily available plant materials. Their device was found to capture up to 99.9% of a wide variety of microplastics known to pose a health risk to humans.Co… Continue reading Plant-based filter removes up to 99.9% of microplastics from water
Farmers around the world regularly burn post-harvest crop waste, producing a significant amount of greenhouse gases and air pollution in the process. A new portable system, however, can be brought to farms to convert that waste into useful products.Con… Continue reading Towable tech travels to farms to convert waste into valuable products

Astronomers have announced a bumper crop of 62 new moons orbiting the ringed planet, pushing its total to well over 100.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTa… Continue reading Huge haul of 62 new moons gives Saturn the solar system record
Scientists have discovered a completely new branch on the tree of life. This “supergroup” contains an incredibly diverse range of predatory microbes that are extremely different genetically from any other form of life on Earth.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading New branch on Tree of Life contains organisms unlike any others on Earth
A new study published in Nature Communications has homed in on a part of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that seems to be shared across all known variants. The research also reveals an antibody fragment that can hypothetically block the virus from enterin… Continue reading Antibody “master key” discovery could neutralize all COVID variants
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a debilitating genetic disorder that eventually leaves patients in a wheelchair. In a new study, researchers have found that an existing cancer drug shows promise in slowing the progress of DMD by changing the type … Continue reading Cancer drug pulls surprising double duty to treat muscular dystrophy
