Clues of an overactive immune system may surface more than ten years before the more severe physical symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) become evident. A recent study suggests that declining mental health could be among the earliest indicators of the condition, which affects around 2.8 million people globally. Early Symptoms May Foreshadow MS Years Before

Dinosaur Teeth Suggest Prehistoric Air Was Surprisingly Poor

Archaeology, Science, Social / Samilton Santos

Fossilized dinosaur teeth offer more than just clues about diet and lineage—they also serve as unexpected archives of ancient atmospheric conditions. New research shows that if humans had existed alongside dinosaurs, breathing might have been quite difficult due to significantly elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the air. A Global Effort to Decode Ancient Enamel
