Scientists have recently discovered that the temporal pole region of the brain surface has critical functions in word comprehension, face recognition and the regulation of behavior. It is interesting to note that researchers struggled to link a specific function to this region of the brain for the first 100 years of research on the cortex.

Doctors often advise patients undergoing muscle pain associated with the intake of statins to take vitamin D supplements, however, a new study by scientists at the Northwestern University, Harvard University and Stanford University have revealed that the supplements do not help to improve the patients’ problem.

New studies have revealed that even a short 10-minute exercise session is enough to increase the number of immune cells in the bloodstream which helps to destroy cancer cells in cancer patients.

Researchers made use of broken-down soy proteins to reduce ice crystal growth on frozen vegan foods which helped to increase the shelf life of these products.

New scientific research investigates inflammation and insulin resistance in habitual coffee drinkers to understand how coffee may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), mediated by inflammatory biomarkers in the body 1.

Under the EU project ‘Beyond Epica’, researchers have developed a new method under which greenhouse gas concentrations in 1.5 million-year-old ice can be measured even more accurately.

A Large, real-world study found that Covid-19 vaccination is more effective than natural immunity in protecting against all causes of death, hospitalization and emergency department visits.

Researchers at the University College London have concluded in a recent study that cases of cognitive decline in older people has more than doubled in the last ten years.

An innovative proposal to tackle the global plastic pollution crisis with a combination of DNA-like encoding of plastics and international law has been put forward by a transdisciplinary team of QUT researchers. The QUT research team, from chemistry and law, have published their multi-pronged approach in Polymer Chemistry.

Researchers have recently identified a weak spot in prostate cancer cells that were not found earlier. This revolutionary breakthrough may have the potential to develop more effective therapies for other types of cancer.
