It’s not really news after a decade, but I still think it’s worth a look. This is something I think about sometimes, and it’s better to let the actual scholars speak....

A new study suggests that a high-fat diet may impair memory by causing inflammatory effects and issues in cell-signaling management in the brain cells, especially as people age, but the omega-3 fatty acid DHA may help mitigate these effects. The research, focusing on microglia and hippocampal neurons, found that palmitic acid...
Scientists have identified two types of brain cell linked to a reduced risk of dementia in older people — even those who have brain abnormalities that are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease1....
Antarctica is likely warming at almost twice the rate of the rest of the world and faster than climate change models are predicting, with potentially far-reaching implications for global sea level rise, according to a scientific study....
Researchers often use the genitalia of insects to differentiate species, since they are a reliable signature of a species uniqueness. A newly discovered beetle has been found to have genitalia that look remarkably similar to a bottle opener.
Scientists have created an infant ‘chimeric’ monkey by injecting a monkey embryo with stem cells from a genetically distinct donor embryo. The resulting animal is the first live-born chimeric primate to have a high proportion of cells originating from donor stem cells. However, the monkey had to be euthanized when it was...
A public statement signed by more than 1,000 scientists in support of meat production and consumption has numerous links to the livestock industry[.]...
Researchers have developed a new mechanism to make water droplets slip off surfaces, described in a paper published in Nature Chemistry. The discovery challenges existing ideas about friction between solid surfaces and water and opens up a new avenue for studying droplet slipperiness at the molecular level. The new technique has...
A key function of our immune system is to detect and eliminate foreign pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Immune cells like T cells do this by distinguishing between different types of proteins within cells, which allows them to detect the presence of infection or disease....
…expedition coordinator Candio said, “we still are not able to identify it beyond the fact that it is biological in origin.” He added, “We likely won’t learn more until we are able to get it into a laboratory setting.”...
The Autoimmune Registry has determined that biomarkers of immune system activity similar to those seen in many autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases justify the inclusion of Long COVID on its list of diseases.
