For The Better

Women with overactive bladder are frequently frustrated with treatment, which leads to discontinuation of therapy. Asynchronous telehealth visits keep women engaged in follow-up care, accelerates trials of different medications and reinforces behaviora…

A new research article features one major challenge overcome through a remarkably simple idea, opening the door to expanded use of PCMs for energy-efficient heating and cooling.

Researchers have successfully leveraged an FDA-approved drug to halt growth of tumors driven by mutations in the RAS gene, which are famously difficult to treat and account for about one in four cancer deaths.

New research has shown how catchment restoration — through the management of alien tree infestation in the mountains of the southwestern Cape — could have lessened the impact of climate change on low river flows during the Cape Town ‘Day Zero’ drought.

Researchers have identified a potential way to battle the health effects of obesity and type 2 diabetes in women after discovering an important factor that could determine how their bodies use and store fat.

A preclinical study led by a neuroscientist shows that dysregulated kappa-opioid receptors (KORs) in the brain’s medial prefrontal cortex region (part of the frontal lobe) contribute to working memory deficits in severe alcohol dependence. The research…

How can Einstein’s theory of gravity be unified with quantum mechanics? It is a challenge that could give us deep insights into phenomena such as black holes and the birth of the universe. Now, a new article presents results that cast new light on impo…

A new study confirms that pangolins confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade in Viet Nam host SARS-CoV-2 related coronaviruses.

A study of more than 2,000 streams around North America found that those altered by human activity are at greater risk of flooding.

Researchers have developed new antimicrobial technology for air filters which can in seconds kill bacteria, fungi and viruses including SARS-CoV-2 — providing a potential solution to prevent the spread of airborne infections.

A new study reveals that two indigenous groups in the Bolivian Amazon have among the lowest rates of dementia in the world. An international team of researchers found among older Tsimane and Moseten people, only about 1% suffer from dementia. In contra…

Researchers believe that tannic acid plays a role in inhibiting three important molecular pathways involved in the SARS-CoV-2 infection.

In the wake of the Great Depression, the federally sponsored Home Owners’ Loan Corporation drew maps of neighborhoods in U.S. cities that characterized their desirability for mortgage lending. Many neighborhoods with Black and immigrant communities rec…

Amyloid beta, a protein known to build-up in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, also helps skin cancer cells thrive when they spread to the brain, a new study finds.

Antarctic fish have adapted over millennia to survive in the freezing temperatures of the Southern Ocean. However, in doing so, they have lost their ability to grow at rates seen in their warmer water cousins, even when they are now held at the same wa…

A new study suggests that consistently maintaining face mask use until, and even two to 10 weeks beyond, reaching various vaccination coverage thresholds could not only prevent a substantial number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths but also end up…
