Regular exercise can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety — in many cases as effectively as medication or psychotherapy.

The determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in postharvest analysis using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC–MS) has proven to be a suitable tool for predicting the extent of chilling injury and minimizing food losses. The peach example presented here may serve as a model case for other commodities.

A gene shared by salamanders, zebrafish and mice could point toward a new path for regenerative medicine: researchers have identified key genetic programs involved in regrowth and used them to partially restore digit regeneration in mice. The findings do not bring human limb regeneration within immediate reach, but they offer a promising proof of principle for future gene-based therapies.

New research from Virginia Tech identifies key molecular changes behind age-related memory loss — and shows they can be reversed. By targeting specific brain processes with advanced gene-editing tools, scientists improved memory performance in older animals, opening new possibilities for dementia research.

Researchers have found that parents think that their children are getting sufficient sleep but that not the case as a study in Rhode Island in the USA reveals that kids sleep less than their parents realize.

In a new study, scientists have found that residential wood burning is a major contributor to winter air pollution across the United States. It further states that although only 2 % of U.S. homes rely on wood as their primary heating source, residential wood burning accounts for more than one-fifth of Americans’ wintertime exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

Researchers have recently tested a Crispr/Cas9 gene-editing technique to help the immune system in a person’s body to fight advanced gastrointestinal cancers. The results have revealed promising signs of safety and potential effectiveness of the treatment.

Researchers at Kaist have developed the first technology to selectively acetylate specific RNA molecules inside living cells using the CRISPR-Cas13 system. This breakthrough enables precise, programmable control of RNA function and marks a major step forward in RNA-based therapeutics and gene regulation research.

They may be tiny, but mosses pack a climate punch. A groundbreaking study across 413 subtropical forests reveals that these overlooked plants store surprising amounts of carbon, challenging global models and offering a low-cost, nature-based path to climate solutions.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a way to make mRNA vaccines safer and more effective — by adding anti-inflammatory molecules inspired by olive oil. Their new lipid design not only reduces side effects like soreness and fatigue but also boosts vaccine performance against diseases like Covid-19 and cancer.
