Because there is more to know
A recent study led by food scientist Thanutchaporn Kumrungsee can be the first step in showing vitamin B6’s potential in lowering the odds of patients becoming seriously ill with the coronavirus. The study paper published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition found that vitamin B6 may help calm cytokine storms […]
Earth’s global average surface temperature in 2020 tied with 2016 as the warmest year on record, according to an analysis by NASA. Continuing the planet’s long-term warming trend, the year’s globally averaged temperature was 1.84 degrees Fahrenheit (1.02 degrees Celsius) warmer than the baseline 1951-1980 mean, according to scientists at […]
A randomized controlled trial held by Massachusetts Eye and Ear hospital studied about the difference in infection rates of ‘sinus’ and discovered that antibiotics increased gastrointestinal side effects in various patients. Antibiotics are not necessary for patients after most routine endoscopic sinus surgeries despite the common practice to prescribe them, […]
In a study involving epilepsy patients, National Institutes of Health scientists discovered how a set of high-frequency brain waves may help us spot small differences in things and objects between the past and the present. The study was published in the journal Nature Communications. “Our results suggest that every experience […]
High doses of Vitamin C under study for treating COVID-19 may benefit some populations, but investigators exploring its potential in ageing say key factors in effectiveness include levels of the natural transporter needed to get the vitamin inside cells. Age, race, gender, as well as expression levels and genetic variations […]
Partially sleep-deprived individuals might be especially vulnerable to fear-related conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder or anxiety, according to a new research. The study appears in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, published by Elsevier. “This study provides us with new insights into how sleep deprivation affects brain function to […]
These interventions aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19 have also reduced transmission of other circulating respiratory infections, such as seasonal influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Researchers have now said that current reductions in these common respiratory infections, however, may merely postpone the incidence of future outbreaks, thereby increasing […]
In new study researchers, led by Research Scientist Dimitra Atri of the Center for Space Science at NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), identified which stars were most likely to host habitable exoplanets based on the calculated erosion rates of the planetary atmospheres. In the paper titled Stellar flares versus luminosity: XUV-induced […]
Proteins are the workhorses of our cells, and their movement controls a vast array of biological processes. Studying the choreography of proteins– how they move around and interact with each other– is an essential part of understanding fundamental biology. One of the main tools for studying protein motion is called […]
A potential new strategy for treating eye diseases that affect millions of people around the world, often resulting in blindness – has been discovered by a team of scientists. Many serious eye diseases–including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and related disorders of the retina–feature an abnormal overgrowth of new retinal […]
