Ever notice that batteries in electronics don't last as long as they did when they were brand new? New research is dedicated to figuring out why.

A study finds links between oral bacteria and brain health. Some bacteria improve memory, while others may increase Alzheimer’s risk. Researchers suggest that oral health monitoring could provide early signs of cognitive decline.

Researchers have detected microplastics in human brains at much higher concentrations than in other organs – and the plastic accumulation appears to be growing over time, having increased 50% over just the past eight years.

Body-weight cycling (also known as yo-yo dieting) has been shown to significantly increase the risk of kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes, regardless of body mass index (BMI) and other traditional risk factors.

A study led by King’s College London warns that global warming could make vast regions of the planet too hot for human survival. At 2°C warming, 6% of land could exceed heat tolerance for young adults.

SickKids researchers have identified OLIG2, a protein that activates stem cells driving medulloblastoma, the most common childhood brain cancer. Blocking this protein with CT-179 prevented tumor formation and relapse in preclinical models.

While foams are an essential component of many drinks and foods little is understood about these highly complex systems. A team of researchers has connected unique capabilities to investigate foams, bring a greener food future a step closer.

Researchers have developed HuT mice, a genetically engineered model with human-like telomeres, enabling scientists to study aging and disease more effectively. The mice mimic human telomere shortening, providing insights into cellular aging.

A study on painted lady butterflies reveals that their migration patterns are shaped by environmental cues rather than genetic differences. Researchers traced their origins and found that seasonal changes influence migration distances.

A new study from Penn State University explored whether vitamin D levels across pregnancy are associated with birth outcomes and fetal growth patterns.
