Poorly insulated nerve cells promote Alzheimer's disease in old age
Poorly insulated nerve cells promote Alzheimer’s disease in old age
Researchers have shown that defective myelin actively promotes disease-related changes in Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's disease, an irreversible form of dementia, is considered the world's most common neurodegenerative disease. The prime risk factor for Alzheimer's is age, although it remains unclear why.

Neutrons show how pre-filled syringes clog
Neutrons show how pre-filled syringes clog
The hypodermic needles on pre-filled syringes can clog when stored incorrectly. A research team subjected the process to a detailed and systematic investigation, including activities at the Research Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) of the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The results will help improve manufacturing and storage conditions accordingly.

Analysis: Europe has lost over half a billion birds in 40 years. What is the single biggest cause?
Analysis: Europe has lost over half a billion birds in 40 years. What is the single biggest cause?
Professor Richard Gregory (UCL Biosciences) explains that pesticides and fertilisers are the single biggest cause of birds shocking decline across Europe and suggests how best to respond, writing in The Conversation. A trickle of studies warning that the enormous variety of living things on Earth is diminishing has turned into a flood.

Multi-cancer blood test shows real promise in NHS trial
An NHS trial of a new blood test for more than 50 types of cancer correctly revealed two out of every three cancers in more than 5,000 people who had visited their GP with suspected symptoms, in England or Wales. The test also also correctly identified the original site of cancer in 85% of those cases.

Eventually everything will evaporate, not only black holes
New theoretical research by Michael Wondrak, Walter van Suijlekom and Heino Falcke of Radboud University has shown that Stephen Hawking was right about black holes, although not completely. Due to Hawking radiation, black holes will eventually evaporate, but the event horizon is not as crucial as has been believed.

Primates' DNA highlights applications for human health
Primates’ DNA highlights applications for human health
The genomes of 233 primate species reveal key features of primate evolution, human disease and biodiversity conservation. The Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE, CSIC-UPF), Pompeu Fabra University, Illumina, and Baylor College of Medicine have co-led a series of major new studies that will be published in special issue of the journal Science.

Highschool student partners with SFU music specialist to research the developing teenage brain
When Burnaby eighth grader Advaith S. Iyer decided to participate in the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair (GVRSF) for the first time this spring an ambitious research idea emerged. Seeking to test the cognitive load - the amount of work the brain is doing - associated with playing musical instruments, his high school laboratory equipment was insufficient for his complex experiment.

Trove of genetic data yields insights into primates’ evolution
An unprecedented dataset containing the genetic information of 233 species promises to improve our understanding of primates- evolutionary biology. A new dataset of genetic information collected from 233 primate species, the largest and most complete of its kind, promises to yield insights into primates- evolutionary biology and how genetics influences their behavior, says Yale biological anthropologist Eduardo Fernandez-Duque.

Prisoner healthcare puts patients at risk
Prisoner healthcare puts patients at risk
The healthcare needs of prisoners in England are not being met and essential changes are needed to ensure patient safety, according to new research led by Cardiff University. The first nationwide analysis of patient safety in prisons in England found that prisoners are experiencing delayed access to healthcare services and medication-related harm.

Antipsychotic drug use increased in Canadian long-term care homes in first year of pandemic
Other aspects of treatment in long-term care homes generally remained the same a year into the pandemic While most aspects of care quality in long-term care homes did not differ in the first year of the pandemic from pre-pandemic levels, a new study shows that the use of antipsychotic drugs increased in all provinces.

Better search for the cause of hereditary diseases
Better search for the cause of hereditary diseases
So far, it has not been possible to explain the causes of around half of all rare hereditary diseases. A Munich research team has developed an algorithm that predicts the effects of genetic mutations on RNA formation six times more precisely than previous models. As a result, the genetic causes of rare hereditary diseases and cancer can be identified more precisely.

Swiss energy system could be independent and carbon-neutral by 2050
Swiss energy system could be independent and carbon-neutral by 2050
Researchers from EPFL and HES-SO Valais have modeled the Swiss energy system under the hypothetical constraints of carbon neutrality and energy independence by 2050. The results show that these two constraints could be met while reducing energy system costs by about 30% compared to 2020. A carbon-neutral and independent Swiss energy system in 2050 is theoretically achievable using the currently untapped local renewable energy resources.

Multiple species of semi-aquatic dinosaur may have roamed pre-historic Britain
Palaeontologists at the University of Southampton studying a British dinosaur tooth have concluded that several distinct groups of spinosaurs - dinosaurs with fearsome crocodile-like skulls - inhabited southern England over 100 million years ago. The team, from the University's EvoPalaeoLab, carried out a series of tests on the 140 million year old tooth, discovered in the early 20th century, in a thick, complicated rock structure named the Wealden Supergroup.

Couples' social networks took long-lasting hit during COVID
Couples’ social networks took long-lasting hit during COVID
A UCLA study shows that a the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, social interactions, both virtual and in person, declined significantly for married couples. The decline was found to be greater and more long-lasting for Black and Latino couples and lower-income couples than for white couples and wealthier couples.

Being socially active in mid-late life linked to 30-50% lower dementia risk
Being socially active in mid-late life linked to 30-50% lower dementia risk
People who are socially engaged when middle aged and beyond are 30-50% less likely to develop dementia later on, finds a new review of evidence led by UCL researchers. The narrative review, published in Nature Aging , summarises the observational, interventional and mechanistic evidence for social participation as a way to reduce dementia risk, from studies conducted across the globe, while also providing recommendations for how societies could collectively reduce dementia risk.

Successfully outsmart harmful mutations
An international research team led by Zoya Ignatova from the University of Hamburg has developed a novel strategy to suppress genetic mutations using artificially engineered transfer RNAs (tRNA). These mutations can lead to serious diseases. The tests, which were successfully performed on patient cells and mice, could provide a new approach to combat various and currently incurable diseases.

Rapid test for sepsis
In the case of blood poisoning, the bacteria in the blood must be identified as fast as possible so that a life-saving therapy can be started. researchers have now developed "sepsis sensors" with magnetic nanoparticles that detect bacterial pathogens within a short period of time and identify suitable candidates for antibiotic therapies.

Microorganisms break down petroleum components in the seabed
Archaea cultivated in the laboratory are active even at high temperatures and without oxygen The seafloor is home to around one-third of all the microorganisms on the Earth and is inhabited even at a depth of several kilometers. Only when it becomes too hot does the abundance of microorganisms appear to decline.
