Edith Cowan University research revealed that muscle strength benefits are seen with consistent, short exercise sessions. Participants performing a three-second eccentric bicep contraction thrice weekly saw strength improvements. Daily 20-minute exercises might be more beneficial than a single 2-hour weekly session. Regularity,...
Researchers at Mays Cancer Center at The University of Texas Health Science at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) have identified protein markers that could signal for early development of metastatic lung cancer, providing possibilities for a new treatment.
To date it has been unclear exactly how the sex of a bee is determined. A research team from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) comprising biologists and chemists has now identified a key gene and the molecular mechanism linked with it. In the current issue of the scientific journal Science Advances, they describe how...
Do fruit flies remember their larval lives? To find out, scientists made the neurons inside larvae glow, then tracked how they reshuffled as they formed adult brains.
Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Alexei Ekimov receive the prize for their work on glowing nanoparticles that are used in fields from electronics to surgery.
The newly identified titanosaur, Garumbatitan morellensis, roamed what is now Spain around 122 million years ago. The unusual shape of some of its bones could hold clues about the evolutionary history of a unique group of sauropods.
We can find the staircase in every building, which is common for out daily life and even for our cardiovascular health but we usually look for some advanced gym equipment's and wide park for that. New Study from Tulane University shows that including stair climbing in our daily routines can greatly reduce the risk of heart...

Standing at a crosswalk, the signal changes from "don't walk," to "walk." You might step out into the street straight away, or you might look both ways before you cross.
The notion that some level of microbial exposure might reduce our risk of developing allergies has arisen over the last few decades and has been termed the hygiene hypothesis.
Today. we all live in eras where there is an ocean of convenient appliances, gadgets & household things meant for the sole purpose of making our lives easy. But there can be hidden dangers underneath the charm of such mundane objects. There’s nothing surprising about some of these types of risks — while others might lurk in...
Recordings show prolonged activity in the visual cortex when looking at images, outlasting conscious awareness of image. More than a quarter of all stroke victims develop a bizarre disorder — they lose conscious awareness of half of all that their eyes perceive.
Oral contraceptives, the ever-reliable soldiers in the fight against unwanted pregnancies, find themselves ensnared in a web of discussions and debates regarding their potential link to depression, particularly among adolescents and women in their initial stages of use. We plunge into this discourse, unwrapping findings,...
Parkinson’s disease, renowned for its debilitating effects on movement, has always been intrinsically linked to the diminishment of dopamine, a chemical imperative for motor functions. However, a groundbreaking study by the University of Montreal divulges surprising revelations about the resilience of brain’s movement...
Scientists in China have developed a method to produce spider silk from genetically modified silkworms, offering a strong, sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers with applications in various industries. Researchers have synthesized spider silk from genetically modified silkworms, producing f
