Healthy but sedentary people show a coordinated drop in muscle mitochondrial function that may silently precede cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Research reveals how to reverse it.
A massive sibling study of over 120,000 children finds no link between prenatal paracetamol (acetaminophen/Tylenol) use and ADHD or autism, challenging earlier warnings.
New research shows spiders thrive in monotonous managed forests, challenging the ecology dogma that habitat heterogeneity always boosts biodiversity. Conservation implications explored.
Red-tailed hawks compensate for missing feathers during molt by adjusting wing and tail movements, a UC Davis study finds. Discover how these birds maintain flight performance with clever biomechanical tricks.
A new French epidemiological study links aspartame consumption to increased risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Researchers urge regulatory review and consumer caution.
A large-scale study identifies a robust gut microbiome signature for colorectal cancer linked to low fiber intake. A dietary fiber intervention partially reversed the signature.
