Study finds how gut microbes play role in regulating stress responsiveness throughout day
18 days ago
3 mins
A study by University College Cork and APC Microbiome Ireland reveals that gut bacteria play a crucial role in managing stress through interactions with circadian rhythms. Published in Cell Metabolism, the research shows that gut microbiota influence the body's stress response system, the HPA-axis, in a time-dependent manner. Specific bacteria, like Lactobacillus reuteri, were identified as key influencers. This discovery opens new possibilities for psychobiotic treatments targeting gut bacteria to improve mental health, especially in today's stress-filled world.

A study by UT Arlington reveals that reminders can help older adults with age-related memory issues, particularly in prospective memory, which involves remembering to perform tasks like taking medication. Conducted with Arizona State University, the study involved experiments testing memory performance in younger and older adults. Results showed that reminders helped both age groups under high memory load conditions. The study suggests that digital tools and reminders can aid older adults in managing daily tasks and maintaining independence.

Study finds how cancer cells of fat may improve cancer treatment
about 1 month ago
3 mins
Scientists at the Van Andel Institute in Michigan have found that limiting cancer cells' access to fat may improve the effectiveness of certain cancer treatments. The study, published in Cell Chemical Biology, highlights the potential of dietary changes to enhance anti-cancer therapies. By focusing on ferroptosis, a type of cell death, researchers showed that reducing fat access makes cancer cells more sensitive to treatment. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in other cancer models.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a solar-powered reactor that converts carbon dioxide from industrial sources or the air into sustainable fuels, while also transforming plastic waste into valuable chemicals. This innovative system, inspired by photosynthesis, uses sunlight to convert CO2 into syngas and plastic into glycolic acid. The research aims to eliminate fossil fuels and offers a sustainable alternative to carbon capture and storage, contributing to a zero-carbon future.

Why e-waste management is important and how it can be done
about 1 month ago
2 mins
With the rapid advancement of technology, e-waste has become a significant environmental issue. As World Environment Day approaches, it's important to focus on e-waste management to reduce health risks and conserve resources. Strategies include buying long-lasting products, repairing devices, using multipurpose gadgets, and choosing eco-friendly options. Security is also a concern, as personal data can remain on discarded devices. Educating others about e-waste is essential as its volume increases.

The Bahama Warbler, an endangered bird, may now only survive on Abaco Island after Hurricane Dorian destroyed its habitat on Grand Bahama. Researchers from the University of East Anglia found 327 warblers in central and eastern forests of Grand Bahama before the hurricane. The warblers prefer habitats with mature Thatch Palms. The study, funded by Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens and the Sir Philip Reckitt Educational Trust, aims to support conservation efforts on Abaco Island.
