A healthy diet and avoiding stressful news helped prevent anxiety and depression during Covid, even better than interacting with friends, following a routine, or pursuing hobbies. A preliminary finding about diet was published earlier this year and the final findings are presented at the ECNP conference in Vienna, Austria.

Whether food, e-liquids or pharmaceuticals: ingredients from the cannabis plant form the basis for numerous products. Ande the numbers are drastically increasing. But what must be taken into account in analysis and regulatory guidelines? An online congress on May 12 will provide answers.

An AI tool was assessed by researchers to predict cancer risk in lung nodules. The study was led by the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania and the model seems to work equally well on diagnostic CT and low-dose screening CT.

Two mutations in the melanocortin 2 receptor gene — which is involved in the production of the stress hormone cortisol — may have played a role in the domestication of dogs by allowing them to develop social cognitive skills in order to interact and communicate with humans.

How we speak matters to animals. Horses, pigs and wild horses can distinguish between negative and positive sounds from their fellow species and near relatives, as well as from human speech, according to new research in behavioral biology at the University of Copenhagen.

An experiment, elegant in its simplicity, helps explain why water becomes electrified when it touches hydrophobic surfaces.

Asphaltenes, a byproduct of crude oil production, are a waste material with potential. Rice University scientists are determined to find it by converting the carbon-rich resource into useful graphene.

The ‘Lab-on-a-chip’ technology means to carry out a single or multiple laboratory function on a single chip. This technology has been adopted by many players in the pharmaceuticals and life sciences industry. LAB Worldwide goes one step further to discuss another revolutionary technology i.e. the organ-on-a-chip technology along with its multiple advantages for the drug discovery and development process.

Eating fire ants might prepare a lizard’s immune system to be stung by the ants, according to a new study by researchers at Penn State. The study comprehensively assessed how the immune system responds to lizards eating and being stung by these ants and might help researchers understand how other native species respond and adapt to the invasive insects.

Scientists have created the first completely digitally manufactured plasma sensors for orbiting spacecraft. These plasma sensors, also known as retarding potential analyzers (RPAs), are used by satellites to determine the chemical composition and ion energy distribution of the atmosphere.
