  • Scientists reverse stroke damage with stem cells
    on September 17, 2025

    Scientists in Zurich have shown that stem cell transplants can reverse stroke damage by regenerating neurons, restoring motor functions, and even repairing blood vessels. The breakthrough not only healed mice with stroke-related impairments but also suggested that treatments could soon be adapted for humans, marking a hopeful step toward tackling one of the world’s most devastating conditions.

  • Brain rhythms reveal a secret switch between old memories and new adventures
    on September 17, 2025

    Scientists have uncovered how the brain reroutes its communication pathways depending on whether it’s processing something new or recalling the familiar. By fine-tuning the balance between different inhibitory circuits, the brain flexibly shifts between reactivating stored memories and integrating fresh sensory input. This discovery not only reshapes our understanding of brain rhythms but also opens new doors for exploring how attention, cognition, and even neurological disorders like […]

  • Stanford scientists reveal simple shift that could prevent strokes and obesity nationwide

  • New drug could be first to stop deadly fatty liver disease
    on September 16, 2025

    Scientists at UC San Diego have identified a new drug, ION224, that could transform the treatment of MASH, a dangerous form of fatty liver disease tied to obesity and diabetes. By blocking a key liver enzyme, the drug reduces fat and inflammation, halting the root causes of liver damage. In a year-long clinical trial, patients showed major improvements without serious side effects, offering hope to millions affected worldwide.

  • Exploring influential indicators for cultivating selenium-rich lily using a random forest model
    by Hao Gong on September 16, 2025

    Selenium (Se) is a vital nutrient for human health and closely associated with various bodily functions. Human intake of Se is often increased through the diet, and the Se level in crops is not solely dictated by soil Se levels. For example, it also depends on the interactions between plants and soil elements. This study explored the factors influencing the Se bioaccumulation coefficient in lilies in karst areas, based on 1:50,000 land-quality geochemical survey data. Utilizing a random […]
