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.

The mosquito species Culex modestus has been found in Finland for the first time. In Southern Europe it is known to spread West Nile virus, but it is highly unlikely for the disease to occur in Finland.

Our body’s fat metabolism plays a vital role in energy production in our body. A research team at the University of Basel, has discovered a molecular switch that regulates lipid metabolism in our cells. This switch controls the storage or conversion of lipids into energy.

The mosquito species Culex modestus has been found in Finland for the first time. In Southern Europe it is known to spread West Nile virus, but it is highly unlikely for the disease to occur in Finland.

A new modelling study has revealed that plastic waste found on Seychelles beaches as well as other islands in the region come from far off sources such as Asian countries especially Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka.

A research study has revealed that unroasted, raw chocolate has a fruity flavor and sour taste that is lost when the cacao beans are processed at high temperatures. For this reason, some chocolatiers are now skipping the roasting step.

Researchers have introduced a new ‘glow in the dark’ protein method called Lunas (luminescent nucleic acid sensor) by which viral diseases can be detected within 20 minutes. This method can be a revolutionary move for the healthcare industry.
