Researches are exploring the idea of artificially dimming the sun to prevent the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet in the background of the climate change issue. This solution is claimed to have high risks and incalculable consequences for future generations.

A study carried out by the University of Oxford has revealed that the use of the social networking site Facebook across the globe cannot be linked directly to the negative well-being of its users.

A virtual reality headset has been modified by researchers with a noninvasive electroencephalogram sensor which helps to measure brain activity. The headset can be used for helping people with anxiety as well as for measuring their attention or mental stress levels.

Scientists have developed a therapy by using an allogeneic ‘off the shelf’ engineered ‘twin stem cell approach’ to maximize an attack on cancer cells that have spread to a part of the brain known as leptomeninges.

Mutations in our genes can lead to severe problems, like colon or liver cancer. But cancer is very complex. Mutations in the same genes can lead to different subtypes of tumors in different people. Currently, there is no good way to produce such tumor subtypes for study. Now, scientists created a method to model certain liver cancer tumor subtypes using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9.

A novel approach has been discovered by researchers at the National University of Singapore for predicting resistance against cancer therapy. In this approach, a unique combination of oncogenes helps to determine the outcome.

Canadian and Chinese scientists have described an unusual fossil from around 125 million years ago that shows a dramatic moment in time when a carnivorous mammal attacked a larger plant-eating dinosaur.

A study led by McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences researchers at the Population Research Health Institute (PHRI) has found that not eating enough of six key foods in combination is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults.

Researchers have developed an innovative method that makes it possible to selectively modify ring systems within molecules. By using photocatalysis, a smaller ring could be inserted into a larger, aromatic ring. This achievement has the potential to make drug production more efficient and enable new drug structures.

A study led by the University of Bern has recently revealed that 623 people died in Switzerland in the summer of 2022 due to heat related health issues. Climate change is the main reason behind the heatwaves.
