A systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 cohort studies involving more than one million adults from eight countries finds that moderate consumption of black, green or Oolong tea is linked to a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Kathryn Macapagal, an associate professor of medical social sciences and psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has stressed that social media is not universally harmful for the youth but in fact has many advantages especially for teens that are LGBTQ, immunocompromised or have disabilities.

Plastic additives are chemicals that are added to plastic products during manufacturing, and many of them are known to be endocrine disrupting compounds. A current study shows that these chemicals can have species-specific effects that may damage the population structure and biodiversity of coral reefs.

Primary human cells are cultured directly from living tissue or blood cells and offer a physiologically relevant tool for various applications in life sciences research. Amsbio offers a range of cryopreserved primary human cells such as lung products, kidney products, intestinal products and liver products for research purposes.

IBS PCS scientists and their research partners showed that micromasers have features that allow them to serve as excellent models of quantum batteries. The energy is stored into the electromagnetic field, which is charged by a stream of qubits sequentially interacting with it.

A group of researchers has developed an entirely novel approach to treating eating disorders. The scientists showed that a group of nerve cells in the hypothalamus control the release of endogenous lysophospholipids, which in turn control the excitability of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, which stimulates food intake.

The 2023 King Faisal Prize was awarded to Northwestern University professor Chad A. Mirkin for his outstanding work in chemistry. He was honored for his contributions to nanochemistry, specifically the discovery and development of spherical nucleic acids.

Researchers Kelvin Sze-Yin Leung along with his colleagues analyzed how certain compounds found in sunscreens could interact with microplastics and other pollutants, thus making them more harmful.

Sample preparation is key in all areas of analytical science however, it is probably the most laborious, disliked and often the trickiest part of the whole analytical workflow. It also has the biggest impact on the final results.

Cognitive and computer scientists have found child language development and the historical evolution of the world’s languages share a common cognitive foundation — a core knowledge base where patterns of children’s language innovation can predict patterns of language evolution, and vice versa.
