Medical Xpress / Sustained reduction in abdominal fat can preserve cognitive function
A long-term MRI study demonstrates that lower accumulation of abdominal fat (visceral fat), measured throughout the entire follow-up period, is associated with a significant slowing of brain atrophy, preservation of key brain ...
Tech Xplore / New understanding of insect flight points way to stable flapping-wing robots
The way bugs and birds flap their wings may look effortless, but the dynamics that keep them aloft are dizzyingly complex and difficult to quantify. Cornell researchers have created a computational model that shows the effect ...
Science X / Here's why your face doesn't perceive itchiness the same way your body does
In a new study, researchers from North Carolina State University show that itch sensations in the face are perceived differently from those in the body due to differences in signaling between trigeminal (located in the brain) ...
Tech Xplore / Hidden math link helps designers build fantastic shapes
Termite mounds are remarkable structures that regulate temperature, balance airflow, and maintain structural stability in some of Earth's harshest climates. And like other irregular, disordered systems, they can be difficult ...
Medical Xpress / Nonprofit hospitals spend billions on management consultants... with no clear effect

Medical Xpress / How sugar fuels sight: Glucose metabolism linked to epigenetic and gene expression changes in the retina
National Eye Institute (NEI) scientists have found that the way the retina metabolizes glucose directly controls which genes get switched on and off in light-sensing photoreceptors. The findings suggest that metabolic disruptions ...
Medical Xpress / Cranberry juice may boost UTI antibiotics
More than 400 million people experience a urinary tract infection every year, and some epidemiological studies estimate that more than half of all women will develop at least one in their lifetime. Most UTIs are caused by ...
Phys.org / The Big Bang of plant life: Discovery sheds light on how cells form walls
Cell walls are a crucial structure of plant life, protecting cells from damage, giving plants shape, and containing energy-rich nutrients. And yet the process of how the walls begin to form remains mysterious.
Medical Xpress / The brain may use dopamine to bend time and shape memory
Ever heard of getting a "dopamine hit" from something you enjoy? These exciting moments also appear to influence memory, although perhaps not in the way you'd expect.
