In the fight against Alzheimer's, researchers have developed a promising, preventative therapeutic approach. They specifically targeted the amyloid beta biomolecule, which triggers the hyperactivity of nerve cells typical of the brain disease in its early stages. They succeeded in developing and using a protein drug that can suppress the effects of the harmful molecule. Read more ›

For a long time, scientists assumed that jellies (commonly known as jellyfish) were a dead-end food source for predatory fish. However, a team has now discovered that fish in Greenland waters do indeed feed on jellyfish. In two of the analyzed species, they even made up the majority of the food. The results suggest that the role of jellyfish as prey in marine food webs should be reconsidered, especially in... Read more ›

New analysis has shown that the UK's first large scale offshore mussel farm might in fact serve as a form of restoration rather than creating habitats never seen in the area before. A map dating from 1871 shows a large area of the seabed -- stretching from Torquay in the west and beyond Lyme Regis to the east -- as being home to 'rich shell beds'. The region has now...

A high-sugar diet is seen as a risk factor for obesity and chronic illness. Researchers have analyzed data on sugar intake among children and adolescents in a long-term study, finding that intake has been declining steadily since 2010 -- but is still above the level recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The health benefits of sunshine could outweigh the risks for people living in places with limited sunlight, such as parts of the UK, a study suggests. Exposure to higher levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in areas with low sunlight was linked to a drop in deaths from cardiovascular disease and cancer, according to the research. Read more ›

Early life exposure to 'forever chemicals' in the environment permanently disrupts the gut microbiome in mice, contributing to the development of metabolic disease in later life, according to new research. The results suggest that human exposure to these chemicals during early childhood may be contributing to the recent epidemic of metabolic disorders, including obesity and type 2 diabetes among adults.
