Medical Xpress / Postbiotic gummies cut gum bleeding in six weeks, trial suggests
Continuous consumption of foods containing heat-inactivated Lactiplantibacillus pentosus can help reduce gum bleeding, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo. These postbiotic foods can improve inflammatory conditions ...
Phys.org / A 19-year 'goldmine' of mountain cloud and rainwater samples provides fresh insights about air pollution
Rainfall history is just as critical to predicting air pollution as where the air came from, a team led by University of Michigan Engineering researchers, in collaboration with scientists at the Appalachian Mountain Club ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired phototransistor could cut AI energy use by sensing and storing data
Inspired by the human brain, Oregon State University researchers have developed a new light-sensitive device that combines sensing and memory while controlling how digital memories strengthen or fade over time. The research ...

A new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has uncovered a previously unknown connection between nucleic acid structures called R-loops and age-related inflammation—or inflammaging—that ...
Medical Xpress / Why weight‑loss drugs don't work for some people
Weight-loss jabs are the latest craze for shedding a few pounds. Their effect has been dramatic, with drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy (semaglutide) causing users to lose up to 15% of their body fat on average.
Medical Xpress / Newborn neurons routinely break then repair DNA during brain cortex formation, study reveals
Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to reach the areas where they form neural circuits in the brain cortex. In a study published in Nature, ...
