A hefty grant of 1.5-million-dollars has been secured by researchers from the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine in order to work on collaborative projects aimed at understanding disease transmission and mitigating the impacts of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) on dairy herds and the broader agricultural industry.

A new study at the University of Warwick has revealed that sleep problems at age 14 i.e. early teens are often linked with self-harm behaviour at that age and future self-harm at age 17.

A new study has revealed that taking more steps and walking faster can significantly reduce the risk of major heart problems especially in people that have high blood pressure. The study also found out that compared to a daily step count of 2,300 steps, every extra 1,000 steps was linked to a 17 % reduction in the risk of developing a major adverse cardiovascular event, up to 10,000 steps.

Researchers in a new study have found out that regularly helping people outside the home has the ability to significantly slow down cognitive decline in middle-age and older adults.

Research has revealed that the Covid infection might lead to aging of blood vessels by about five years especially in women. It also stated that people who had been vaccinated against Covid generally had arteries that were less stiff than people who were unvaccinated.

An analysis of studies incorporating data from almost 30 million people has highlighted the role that air pollution — including that coming from car exhaust emissions — plays in increased risk of dementia.

Newly discovered alkaloid compounds from millipede secretions show potential for targeting neuroreceptors linked to pain and neurological disorders. Found in Andrognathus corticarius, the molecules may open new avenues for drug development once they can be synthesized in larger quantities.

Leading experts from around the world have identified key research priorities that are needed to detect and mitigate the threat of future mosquito-borne Zika virus outbreaks.

Just 15 minutes in nature can ease anxiety, lift mood, and boost mental well-being — even in the heart of a city. A new Stanford-led study shows how small doses of green space offer big mental health benefits, especially for young adults.

Chemists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a groundbreaking method to upcycle discarded plastics into superior materials with enhanced properties. By editing polymer structures at the molecular level, this innovative approach could revolutionize recycling, reduce waste, and pave the way for a sustainable circular economy.
