Scientists quantified the reactive polysulfide content of 22 different types of vegetables. They revealed that these health promoting compounds are not only found in the leek genus, such as onions and garlic but also in the cruciferous family of vegetables, such as broccoli and cabbage.

The EU-funded Resilience project aims to prevent heart failure in cancer patients who need anthracyclines. The project is testing a promising preventive treatment called remote ischaemic conditioning in lymphoma patients at risk for anthracycline cardiotoxicity. If the results are positive, heart failure could be significantly reduced in cancer survivors.

Results from a new international study, just published in the journal of Psychosomatic Medicine, found that people with cardiovascular disease that have higher levels of loneliness, social isolation, and that live alone, tend to die prematurely.

Researchers have developed a new method to store and release highly pure hydrogen with salts and amino acids. This unique method has the potential to store hydrogen on a large-scale.

The relationship a dog has with its owner is related to its stress level. This is the conclusion of a newly published study from Linköping University, Sweden. The results, published in the journal Scientific Reports, also suggest that the link between stress and the owner's personality traits differs between dog breeds.

The EU funded project Most-H2 is developing an innovative concept for hydrogen storage, from the laboratory to the tank. With a budget of approximately six million euros over 48 months, the project focuses on research and innovation to find the best storage solutions.

Vaginal microbiota reflects the regulation of the duration of gestation and the onset of labour. The microbiota may even have a direct effect on them, as indicated by a study conducted at the University of Helsinki and HUS Helsinki University Hospital.

What's all the buzz around futuristic labs or Labs of the Future?  // The adoption of next-gen technologies in order to come up with pioneering solutions in a highly-efficient environment is one of the central features of the Lab of the Future but is its development practical or a mere fantasy? Read on to find out…

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.

Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel (CrCoNi). Not only is the metal extremely ductile — which, in materials science, means highly malleable — and impressively strong, its strength and ductility improve as it gets colder. This runs counter to most other materials in existence.
