“New research shows microbes in our cities are evolving to resist the very cleaners we use to eliminate them. It also identifies novel strains living in Hong Kong that were previously only found in Antarctic desert soil.” ~ learn more
“In the new study, researchers tested a range of doses of BBP on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and looked for abnormal changes in egg cells. They saw that at levels similar to those detected in humans, BBP interferes with how […]
Created by a team of MIT engineers, “The algorithm determines the specific nature of that relationship, such as whether two variables are synergistic—meaning one variable only influences another if it is paired with a second variable—or redundant, such that a […]
“When the human body breaks down fat in a process called lipolytic cholesterol metabolism, isoprene is released in exhaled breath. As it turns out, a decline in isoprene can indicate the presence of lung cancer. The team, led by researchers […]
This study was published in Nature Medicine and funded by Flow Neuroscience, a company that makes a $500 brain stimulation headset. It, “aimed to prove the efficacy of a non-invasive technology called transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). A weak current […]
I had to look up this type of trial, where researchers use a large dataset to put together a hypothetical trial to try and glean causality from correlations. “Semaglutide was associated with 40% to 70% reduced risks of first-time [Alzheimer’s] […]
“The researchers’ semiconductor-free devices, which they produced using standard 3D printing hardware and an inexpensive, biodegradable material, can perform the same switching functions as the semiconductor-based transistors used for processing operations in active electronics.” ~ learn more
The 3rd large cluster randomized trial demonstrating the same result was recently published. April 2018, February 2024, August 2024. ~ learn more
