A new study has suggested that by protecting and restoring wildlife, we can enhance natural carbon capture mechanisms and reduce climate change.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Climate, Climate Crisis, Wildlife, Animals, Extinction, … Continue reading Protecting and restoring wildlife offers a new climate solution
Scientists at Yale University have uncovered an overlooked mechanism that may be behind the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. The team points the finger at small swellings on axons near plaques that build up in the brain, and identified a protein that could be a biomarker for early detection of the disease as well as a target for future treatments.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first drug that can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes. A recent trial has shown that the drug, named teplizumab, can give patients several extra disease-free years.Continue ReadingCategory: Me… Continue reading First drug that delays onset of type 1 diabetes approved by FDA
Researchers at Yale and the University of Rhode Island (URI) have demonstrated a new technique to fight cancer by attaching immunotherapy drugs to a molecule that seeks out the acidic environment of cancer cells. In tests in mice, a single dose was eno… Continue reading Homing missile molecule eradicates even advanced cancers in mice
While science continues to identify and unravel the role of the thousands of proteins in the human body, many of them are too small to be picked up with current techniques. These ghost microproteins live in what scientists refer to as the “dark matter”… Continue reading Yale’s cellular spray paint highlights “dark matter” of the genome
Dinosaurs sit at the crossroads between reptiles and birds, leading scientists to debate whether they were warm- or cold-blooded. A new study may have found the answer for different groups of dinosaurs, by analyzing metabolic markers from their breath … Continue reading Were dinosaurs warm- or cold-blooded? Clues lie in their breath and bones
Researchers have homed in on several strains of gut bacteria that are associated with the severity of a common form of stroke. The findings build on a growing body of research suggesting future therapies targeting the gut microbiome could reduce a pers… Continue reading Stroke severity linked to certain strains of gut bacteria
New research has found the world’s first portable MRI machine can accurately detect ischemic strokes. The machine was cleared for use by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2020 and researchers are increasingly demonstrating it to be as effectiv… Continue reading Portable MRI can accurately detect most common form of stroke
By studying the behavior of a protein tightly linked with a wide range of cancers, scientists have uncovered the role it plays in regulating body weight. The discovery deepens our understanding of the way our bodies respond to food, or lack thereof, an… Continue reading Study pinpoints a protein that’s a key regulator of body weight
Promising new research has raised the possibility of treating type 2 diabetes without drugs. Across three different animal models researchers have demonstrated how short bursts of ultrasound targeted at specific clusters of nerves in the liver can effe… Continue reading Diabetes successfully treated using ultrasound in preclinical study
