Gut instincts: Intestinal nutrient sensors

Researchers have developed strategies to identify regulators of intestinal hormone secretion. In response to incoming food, these hormones are secreted by rare hormone producing cells in the gut and play key roles in managing digestion and appetite. The team has developed new tools to identify potential 'nutrient sensors' on these hormone producing cells and study their function. This could result in new strategies to interfere with the release of these... Read more ›

Effects of chemical mixtures: Neurotoxic effects add up

How do complex mixtures of chemicals affect our health? New research has shown that chemicals that occur in complex mixtures and in concentration ratios as found in humans act together. Even if the concentrations of the individual substances were each below the effect threshold, the chemicals in the mixture showed a cumulative neurotoxic effect. Read more ›

Why do we love carbs? The origins predate agriculture and maybe even our split from Neanderthals

A new study reveals how the duplication of the salivary amylase gene may not only have helped shape human adaptation to starchy foods, but may have occurred as far back as more than 800,000 years ago, long before the advent of farming. Read more ›

Raising happy eaters: Unlocking the secrets of childhood appetite

The foundation for healthy eating behavior starts in infancy. Young children learn to regulate their appetite through a combination of biological, psychological, and sociological factors. Researchers propose a model that explores these factors and their interactions, providing guidelines for better understanding childhood appetite self-regulation. Read more ›

Tool helps analyze pilot performance and mental workload in augmented reality

Researchers developed HuBar, a visual analytics tool that summarizes and compares task performance sessions in augmented reality (AR) by analyzing performer behavior and cognitive workload. Using aviation as a case study, the research team demonstrated that HuBar provides insights into pilot behavior and mental states, helping researchers and trainers identify patterns, pinpoint areas of difficulty, and optimize AR-assisted training programs to improve learning outcomes and real-world performance.

Specific type of DNA could be a target of future cancer therapies

Researchers found a higher concentration of a specific kind of DNA -- extrachromosomal or ecDNA -- in more aggressive and advanced cancers that could mark them as targets for future therapies. They found significantly higher amounts of ecDNA in tumors from previously treated patients, leading to the theory that ecDNA might give a survival advantage to those tumors. Read more ›

Understanding landslides: a new model for predicting motion

Along coastal California, the possibility of earthquakes and landslides are commonly prefaced by the phrase, 'not if, but when.' This precarious reality is now a bit more predictable thanks to researchers who found that conditions known to cause slip along fault lines deep underground also lead to landslides above.
