Medical Xpress / School meals could unlock major gains for human and planetary health
Healthy, sustainable school meals could cut undernourishment, reduce diet-related deaths and significantly lower environmental impacts, according to a new modeling study led by a UCL (University College London) researcher.
Medical Xpress / Mental health conditions linked to higher risk of unintentional injury
People with mental health conditions face a significantly higher risk of physical injuries, according to a new University of Michigan study.
Medical Xpress / Key phospholipid points to potential treatment for vascular dementia
A possible new treatment for impaired brain blood flow and related dementias is on the horizon. Research by scientists at the University of Vermont Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine provides novel insights into the ...
Phys.org / Scientists build a quantum computer that can repair itself using recycled atoms
Like their conventional counterparts, quantum computers can also break down. They can sometimes lose the atoms they manipulate to function, which can stop calculations dead in their tracks. But scientists at the US-based ...
Phys.org / Deepest gas hydrate cold seep ever discovered in the Arctic at 3,640 m depth
A multinational scientific team led by UiT has uncovered the deepest known gas hydrate cold seep on the planet. The discovery was made during the Ocean Census Arctic Deep–EXTREME24 expedition and reveals a previously unknown ...
Medical Xpress / Clearing the brain of aging cells could aid epilepsy and reduce seizures
Temporal lobe epilepsy, which results in recurring seizures and cognitive dysfunction, is associated with premature aging of brain cells.
Phys.org / Is democracy always about truth? Why we may need to loosen our views to heal our divisions
We find ourselves in the midst of a crisis of truth. Trust in public institutions of knowledge (schools, legacy media, universities and experts) is at an all-time low, and blatant liars are drawing political support around ...
Medical Xpress / This 'super flu' could cause widespread serious illness, experts say
Flu season has arrived, and with it a variant making headlines as a "super flu."
Phys.org / NAC protein complex slows early synthesis to optimize cellular protein production
Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The genetic code of our genome ...
Phys.org / Fishing fleet tracking can reveal shifts in marine ecosystems
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have already leveraged the vast troves of geolocation data from vessel-tracking systems to pinpoint where whales and other large marine species are endangered by ship ...
Phys.org / The way our cells respond to estrogen depends on how DNA is 'supercoiled'
Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, which is why the body changes so much during menopause. This is because estrogens regulate hundreds ...
Phys.org / More eyes on the skies can help planes reduce climate-warming contrails
Aviation's climate impact is partly due to contrails—condensation that a plane streaks across the sky when it flies through icy and humid layers of the atmosphere. Contrails trap heat that radiates from the planet's surface, ...
