A study has revealed that young adults are more likely to switch to vaping from smoking if they are made aware of the fact that vaping is less harmful than smoking.

The biogenic polyamine spermidine has received a lot of attention since it was scientifically shown to slow down the aging process when taken in adequate quantities. Determining the spermidine levels in foodstuffs requires the right analysis strategy given that many have a highly complex matrix. Scientists at the Westphalian University in Recklinghausen, Germany have developed an efficient, fully automated method based on HPLC-TOF-MS to determine spermidine in the “superfood” Apilarnil.

A new study has revealed that smartwatches can play a crucial role in helping people to quit smoking. A custom app fitted on the smartwatch makes use of its in-built motion sensors to detect typical smoking movements and raises awareness by sending a message which has the potential to help people quit smoking.

Scientists from Arc Institute and NVIDIA have developed a new AI model – Evo 2. The model is capable of identifying patterns in gene sequences across disparate organisms that experimental researchers would need years to uncover.

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have harnessed machine learning and molecular dynamics to advance our understanding of the interactions between metal nanoparticles and blood proteins. This development paves the way for targeted nanomedicine applications, from cancer therapy to advanced diagnostics.

Researchers at the University of Delaware are uncovering the role of fat tissue at the gene level. Their findings reveal that visceral fat, which surrounds vital organs, undergoes drastic gene expression changes linked to inflammation and disease. This breakthrough could pave the way for targeted treatments to improve metabolic health and combat obesity.

The European Commission has announced an EU Cardiovascular Health Plan with an aim to improve heart health across Europe. The European Society of Cardiology has welcomed this landmark initiative.

With the aim of extending health longevity, scientists at the Center on the Biology of Aging are rapidly advancing their research on aging. The research has the potential to transform human health and life.

Researchers have revealed that three factors – high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a) can strongly predict cardiovascular risk in American women over a period of 30-years.

Chlorine is a quiet hero of modern life, from cleaning pools to crafting essential products like medicines and plastics. Now, Rice University chemists have unveiled a groundbreaking, eco-friendly way to add chlorine to organic molecules using gentle blue light, paving the way for cleaner, more precise, and cost-effective innovations in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and beyond.
