A group of scientists from Helmholtz Munich has identified a new use for vitamin K, typically recognized for its part in blood clotting. In its fully reduced configuration, the researchers discovered that vitamin K operates as an anti-oxidant by efficiently inhibiting ferroptotic cell death. Ferroptosis is a natural kind of cell death in which cellular

What makes people brain distinct from that of all other animals– including also our closest primate relatives? In an analysis of cell kinds in the prefrontal cortex of 4 primate species, Yale researchers identified species-specific– particularly human-specific– features, they report on Aug. 25th in the journal Science. And they discovered that what makes us human

Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke’s 3rd law states that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Indika Rajapakse, Ph.D., is a believer. The engineer and mathematician now discovers himself a biologist. And he believes the charm of blending these 3 disciplines is crucial to unraveling how cells function. His latest development is a

Digital health tools may help identify early indications of hearing loss and avoid additional damage, a new study highlights. Virtual care, combined with newly available over-the-counter hearing aids, could help people residing in rural areas and far from experts to maintain their hearing on point. “We can really meet people where they are,” states Samantha
