“Researchers at MIT have discovered a new phenomenon: that light can cause evaporation of water from its surface without the need for heat.” ~ learn more
“In preliminary experiments, the tool was able to distinguish between patients with diagnosed pancreatic, gastric or colorectal cancer and people without cancer — and the analysis took just minutes. By detecting certain chemicals in blood, the test could identify when […]
“The demonstration that making an mRNA cancer vaccine in this fashion generates similar and strong responses across mice, pet dogs that have developed cancer spontaneously, and human patients with brain cancer is a really important finding, because oftentimes we don’t […]
“Growing evidence suggests a link between the debilitating neurological illness and the microbes that live in our intestines. The vagus nerve may be a pathway.” ~ learn more
Oh, my! “Among articles stating that data was available upon request, only 17% shared data upon request. The presence of Data Availability Statements was not associated with higher rates of data sharing(p= .55), indicating a lack of adherence to journals’ […]
Science does not have to be written with dry language and locked away behind inaccessible journals. Adam Mastroianni proves the point by publishing the results of eight studies he conducted. “It goes like this: when people imagine how things could […]
In January of 2024 I shared a post about Lantern Bio, who’s “product is a genetically modified bacterium which infects your mouth, outcompetes all the tooth-decay-causing bacteria, and doesn’t cause tooth decay itself”. This data scientist makes the valid point […]
This is a very provocative analysis. Are there implications for aging science? “Let’s start with calorie restriction, shall we? Everyone knows that it slows aging, isn’t it? Well, not really. Take a look at the chart below… Each bar represents […]
“An individual E. coli has no brain, obviously, and is even many orders of magnitude simpler than a human cell, and yet already it possesses something like a sense of smell, drive, even a memory. Chemotaxis recasts E. coli not […]
What a breakthrough! This builds on the researcher’s 2021 finding that linked DNA breaks with learning. “When a long-term memory forms, some brain cells experience a rush of electrical activity so strong that it snaps their DNA. Then, an inflammatory […]
