A research team based in Berlin, in close cooperation with numerous angling clubs organized in the Angler Association of Lower Saxony, has presented a groundbreaking study. Scientists and practitioners worked together to conduct a set of whole-lake experiments and assess the outcomes of ecosystem-based habitat enhancement versus fish stocking in 20 gravel pit lakes over a period of six years.

Dr. Alexis Wood and her team at the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center analyze cross-sectional data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis to explore the impact of red meat on inflammation. Their study, recently published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, reveals no direct association between red meat intake and markers of inflammation when adjusted for body mass index.

Indian astronomers have suggested a new method to assess the environment of extra solar planets. The polarization of light is used to study polarization signatures which help to examine planets beyond the solar system using existing instruments.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in U.S. adults and this can be traced back to their younger days when they were at high risk for the disease but were not given timely treatment because of the country’s limited resources and medical personnel.

Dr. Madjid Mohseni, chemical and biological engineering professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada has developed a new water treatment technology which can remove “forever chemicals” from drinking water efficiently.

New research by a team at Queen Mary University of London shows that bumblebees can modify their response to ‘noxious’ (painful) stimuli in a manner that is viewed in other animals as consistent with the ability to feel pain.

Sleep is generally defined as a period during which the body and mind are at rest — as if disconnected from the world. However, a new study led by Delphine Oudiette, Isabelle Arnulf, and Lionel Naccache at Paris Brain Institute shows that the frontier between wakefulness and sleep is much more porous than it seems.

Researchers have developed a new ultrasensitive biosensor which has the potential to detect minute amounts of tumor-derived materials, such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. Molecular profiles are then generated for each sample and analyzed to detect a brain tumor and define its type, as well as predict its location within the brain.

A new research by the University of Minnesota has revealed for the first time the creation and elimination of synapses between neurons in the brains of live mice. The research offers an understanding into what exactly happens when memories are created and forgotten and could help treat conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder.

Scientists from the University of Bristol and NHS Blood & Transplant have announced the discovery of a new rare blood group system – Er. The study conducted by the researchers has helped to solve a 30-year mystery.
