Storing fat at the waist may NOT up diabetes risk, surprise findings indicate
Conventional wisdom holds that storing fat around your belly puts you at increased risk for type 2 diabetes. But unexpected new findings suggest that, for some people, conventional wisdom may be wrong.
Physical activity can promote learning and wellbeing at secondary school
A study suggests that adolescents who engage in active school transport and leisure-time physical activity perform better at secondary school than their inactive peers. Regular leisure-time physical activity, even in moderate doses, was also associated…

Tau-regulating protein identified as a promising target for developing Alzheimer’s disease treatment
A gene encoding a protein linked to tau production — tripartite motif protein 11 (TRIM11) — was found to suppress deterioration in small animal models of neurodegenerative diseases similar to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), while improving cognitive and mo…

Materials science: How molecular entanglements determine the structure of polymers
The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the microscopic structure of the materials as well as their pr…
