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

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

During his visit to Beijing in September 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Chinese leader Xi Jinping that undergoing multiple organ transplants could potentially make a person “younger” and extend life to 150 years—a claim widely regarded as science fiction. Interestingly, this statement came just days after scientists discovered a molecular “switch” that can reduce

Sleep is often viewed as a passive break from wakefulness, but new research reveals it’s an active and essential biological function. A recent study has demonstrated that during sleep—particularly at night—the brain plays a key role in releasing growth hormone, which helps repair muscles, strengthen bones, and regulate metabolism. Scientists have now identified the brain
