The Anti-Aging Compound Rejuvenates Youth Indicators Effectively

Biology, Genetics, Science /

In pre-clinical studies, a small molecule successfully stimulated neuron regeneration, decreased inflammation, and enhanced memory, speed, coordination, grip strength, and other factors. These findings hold significant promise for aging and associated diseases. Researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center investigated telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), an enzyme crucial for synthesizing and elongating telomeres—the […]

New Dinosaur Named After a Deity Due to its Unique Headgear

Biology, Science /

The Natural History Museum of Utah has unveiled a previously undiscovered species of horned, herbivorous dinosaur, an ancestor of the Triceratops. Its distinctive and impressive headgear has led to it being named after a deity. Paleontologists discovered fragments of the dinosaur’s skull in 2019 in northern Montana, near the US-Canada border. As they began assembling

A Commonly Overlooked Exercise for Relieving Lower Back Pain

Healthcare, Medicine /

A high-end ergonomic chair or frequent physio sessions with special equipment may not be the ultimate answer to non-specific lower back pain. An Australian randomized controlled trial has discovered a highly effective method to alleviate unexplained lower back pain that requires no special equipment and is freely accessible anytime, anywhere. Walking daily not only boosts

Do Plants Have Surprising Intelligence? Cornell Discovers in Goldenrod

Biology, Science /

Recent research reveals that goldenrod plants exhibit a form of intelligence by adjusting their responses to herbivores based on neighboring plants and environmental cues, challenging conventional notions of intelligence. Goldenrod can sense the presence of nearby plants without physical contact, using cues like far-red light ratios reflected from leaves. When grazed upon by herbivores, it

Study Reveals Why Some Don’t Get COVID Despite Infection

Healthcare, Medicine /

A UK-based study involved volunteers allowing scientists to deliberately infect them with SARS-CoV-2, aiming to understand why some individuals naturally avoid contracting COVID-19. This pioneering research could lead to improved vaccines and treatments.

Previous studies have examined COVID-19’s effects on patients, but none have tracked the disease from the initial entry of the virus to the development of illness. The newly published research by University College London (UCL) addresses this gap.

Are Morning Poos a Common Occurrence? a Gut Expert Explains

Healthcare, Science /

You’re not imagining it—people are more likely to have bowel movements in the morning, typically after breakfast. Researchers have studied this phenomenon. But why is this? And what if you typically have bowel movements later in the day? Can you train yourself to become a morning pooper? To understand the timing of our bowel movements,

Study Suggests Hepatitis E Might Be Sexually Transmitted

Healthcare, Medicine /

Researchers have discovered that the hepatitis E virus (HEV) is associated with sperm in pigs, suggesting it may be sexually transmitted and linked to male infertility, according to a study in PLOS Pathogens. HEV, the leading cause of acute viral liver infection worldwide, is prevalent in pigs in the U.S. Though the virus is typically found in organs rather than muscle and is killed when meat is cooked, its presence in reproductive tissues is a new and concerning finding.
