Scientists are using artificial intelligence to study how speech patterns may reveal important clues about brain health, memory, and biological aging. Your voice does more than help you communicate. The way you speak, the words you choose, and the pauses you make may also contain clues about how your brain is aging. A new study […]

Scientists have discovered a surprising connection between the muscles in the abdomen and blood flow in the brain. The finding could change how researchers understand the way blood moves through the brain during movement, breathing, and sleep. When we think about blood flow to the brain, we usually think about the heart and the arteries

Reading time: 4 minutes Rainwater is often seen as one of the cleanest and most natural sources of water. Many households collect rain from their roofs and store it in tanks for drinking, cooking, cleaning, or gardening. But new research suggests that rainwater can pick up unwanted contaminants as it travels from the roof into

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to detect early. In many cases, the disease does not cause clear symptoms in its early stages, and by the time doctors discover it, the cancer may already have progressed. Now, researchers are testing a new approach that could help change that. Scientists have developed an

Watching too much TV in midlife may be linked to changes in brain structure later in life. A long-term study found that people who frequently watched television had smaller volumes in several brain regions. Some of these areas support memory, thinking, and other important cognitive functions. However, the findings do not prove that television directly

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a painful condition affecting the digestive system. Scientists have spent decades trying to understand its underlying causes in order to improve treatments for these chronic and often debilitating disorders. A recent study now marks a major breakthrough. Researchers from the UK and Denmark have resolved a 30-year-old question: why is

A newly designed airflow system could significantly limit the indoor transmission of airborne diseases. During the winter months, as people spend more time indoors, the quality of indoor air becomes increasingly important. This concern is heightened during cold and flu season, when respiratory infections are more likely to spread in confined spaces. At the University
Small Adjustment in Airflow Lowers Indoor Infection Risk by Up to 90% Read More »
Scientists at UCLA report that the carrier molecule PP045 can generate fully formed hair strands. UCLA researchers have discovered a small molecule capable of reactivating dormant yet intact hair follicles. In early human tests, applying the carrier molecule PP405 to the scalp nightly for a week showed encouraging outcomes. “Nearly everyone faces hair loss at
