  • Why do lymphatic vessels form a jigsaw puzzle-like pattern?
    on March 20, 2025

    While researchers have long been familiar with the surface structure of lymphatic vessels, a groundbreaking study has now focused on their jigsaw puzzle-like pattern. This arrangement helps cells tolerate changes in fluid pressure, such as swelling. Similar cell shapes are found on the surface of plant leaves, and the principle has been employed in human-led design as well.

  • Engineer develops new security protocol to protect miniaturized wireless medical implants from cyberthreats
    on March 20, 2025

    Scientists recently unveiled a first-of-its-kind authentication protocol for wireless, battery-free, ultraminiaturized implants that ensures these devices remain protected while still allowing emergency access.

  • Researchers discover Achilles heel of Lyme disease pathogen
    on March 20, 2025

    Researchers have discovered that an enzyme can serve as an ideal target for developing new therapeutics against Lyme disease, and most likely other tick-borne diseases as well.

  • Recycled cements drive down emissions without slacking on strength
    on March 20, 2025

    Engineers have developed an approach for recycling cement waste into a sustainable, low-carbon alternative that is comparable in performance to the industry standard.

  • How family background can help lead to athletic success
    on March 20, 2025

    Americans have long believed that sports are one area in society that offers kids from all backgrounds the chance to succeed to the best of their abilities. But new research suggests that this belief is largely a myth, and that success in high school and college athletics often is influenced by race and gender, as well as socioeconomic status, including family wealth and education.

  • Adaptive defenses against malicious jumping genes
    on March 20, 2025

    Adverse genetic mutations can cause harm and are due to various circumstances. ‘Jumping genes’ are one cause of mutations, but cells try and combat them with a specialized RNA called piRNA. Researchers have identified how the sites responsible for piRNA production evolve effective behaviors against jumping genes. This research could lead to downstream diagnostic or therapeutic applications.

  • Scientists use cellular programming to mimic first days of embryonic development
    on March 20, 2025

    Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create ‘programmable’ cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting with any actual embryos.

  • Supplementation Behavior and Expenditures in Healthy German Vegans, Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians and Omnivores: A Cross-Sectional Study
    on March 20, 2025

    Purpose: Dietary supplements may ensure an adequate intake of nutrients of concern in all diets. Supplementation behavior and expenditures in vegetarians and vegans, however, have been rarely discussed in the literature. Methods: We reviewed supplementation expenditures in a cohort of 115 healthy adult German vegans, lacto-ovo-vegetarians and omnivores, characterized by comparable sociodemographic data. Supplementation behavior (excluding protein supplements) was re-analyzed to estimate […]

  • The Two Dimensions of Nutrition for the Planet: Environment and Health
    on March 20, 2025

    PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Protecting the planet is protecting the future. Food production systems are among the most important human activities threatening planetary health. Diet, food systems, the environment, and health are interconnected. Accordingly, this review aims to assess the effects of nutrition on the planet and the relationship between some types of diets defined as sustainable and the planet and human health.

  • Patterns of implicit and explicit identity as a vegan or vegetarian in predicting healthy orthorexia and orthorexia nervosa
    on March 18, 2025

    Orthorexia nervosa (OrNe) is an eating disorder characterised by a pathological interest and preoccupation with healthy foods and a healthy diet. Evidence suggests that tendencies towards OrNe may be prevalent across diet groups, and this is particularly the case in vegans and vegetarians. Our previous work has identified that alongside individual differences in obsessive compulsiveness and perfectionism, cognitive biases (attentional preference for healthy-related cues) are associated with…

  • Healthful vs. Unhealthful Plant-Based Restaurant Meals
    on March 13, 2025

    Background: Vegan/vegetarian (VEG) restaurants and VEG options in omnivore (OMNI) restaurants may serve unhealthful plant-based food that may be more harmful than a typical American diet. Methods: A sample of 561 restaurants with online menus were analyzed over a 3-year period. Each plant-based menu entrée was counted, up to a maximum of ten entrées per restaurant, meaning that a restaurant customer could select from ten or more healthful plant-based choices. Entrées containing refined […]

  • Impact of Vegan and Vegetarian Diets on Neurological Health: A Critical Review
    on March 13, 2025

    CONCLUSIONS: While plant-based diets provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, their neurological implications depend on nutrient adequacy. Proper planning, supplementation, and food preparation techniques are essential to mitigate risks and enhance cognitive health. Further research is needed to explore long-term neurological outcomes and optimize dietary strategies.
