A recent study conducted by researchers at Tampere University and the University of Oxford is reshaping the understanding of heart attack causes. Traditionally, high cholesterol levels and lifestyle factors were considered the primary contributors, but the new findings highlight bacterial infections as a significant, previously underappreciated trigger. Scientists discovered that fatty plaques

Scientists at Northwestern University have reported promising findings showing that a newly developed compound, NU-9, was able to halt early Alzheimer’s-related brain damage in mice, offering hope that the disease could one day be managed at an early stage. The research suggests Alzheimer’s may eventually be treated preventively, similar to how conditions like high cholesterol are controlled

A recent study in Science Advances reveals that coral reefs play a key role in regulating daily rhythms of nearby marine microbes, beyond providing habitat. Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem monitored microbial populations above a coral reef in the northern Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea, comparing them to populations in adjacent open waters during both winter and summer.

Endangered African penguins living off the coast of South Africa have likely suffered mass starvation due to severe food shortages, according to a recent scientific study, with some populations declining by as much as 95 percent in just eight years. Researchers estimate that fewer than 10,000 breeding pairs of the small black-and-white penguin remain worldwide, placing the species at serious

Scientists at Cambridge University have made a groundbreaking advance in age reversal, successfully rejuvenating human skin cells by roughly 30 years. Using a technique called partial cellular reprogramming, inspired by Nobel Prize–winning stem cell research, the team managed to restore youthful cellular function without fully reverting the cells to an embryonic state. This approach allows the

Scientists have achieved a significant medical breakthrough by permanently curing Type 1 diabetes in mice through a dual transplant method that combines blood-forming stem cells with insulin-producing islet cells. This innovative treatment works by reprogramming the immune system, creating a hybrid of donor and recipient cells that halts the autoimmune attack responsible for destroying

Recent studies reveal that spending just 15 minutes of daily play with children can have a profound impact on their overall development. Engaging in brief, consistent interactions helps enhance cognitive abilities, language skills, and problem-solving capabilities. Activities such as storytelling, puzzles, role-playing, and imaginative games stimulate brain development, encouraging children to

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have made a groundbreaking advancement in dental science by developing a protein-based gel capable of regenerating tooth enamel. Published in Nature Communications, this innovative gel leverages natural processes to repair and strengthen teeth, offering a potential alternative to traditional fillings and dental restorations.

Scientists at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge have made a major breakthrough in the field of anti-ageing and regenerative medicine by successfully reversing the biological age of human skin cells by approximately 30 years. This advancement is significant because it demonstrates the potential to rejuvenate cells without compromising their identity or function, a challenge that has long

Tears are a baby’s way of communicating, and research shows that responding with love and comfort is crucial for healthy development. Studies indicate that letting infants “cry it out” for extended periods without any soothing can have harmful effects. Prolonged, unsoothed crying is linked to elevated stress hormones, altered brain development, and long-term impacts on emotional security and
