Cells have tiny doors called membrane rafts. These doors let in signals from the outside. These signals start big chemical activities inside the cell. But seeing these doors in action is hard. They are very small and always moving. Scientists have a new way to watch these doors. They use a special
The U. S. government is diving headfirst into AI-driven science with a bold new project called the Genesis Mission. Launched by President Donald Trump, this initiative aims to revolutionize how federal agencies handle scientific research. The main idea? Combine massive government datasets with cutti
Obesity is not just about eating too much or not moving enough. It's a complex issue. Tiny creatures living in our gut, called gut microbiota, play a big part in this. These microbes help control how our body uses energy, fights off germs, and handles food. When these gut bugs are out of balance, i
Orange juice, a popular breakfast staple, might do more than just quench your thirst. Recent research suggests that drinking 100% orange juice daily could positively impact your heart health and potentially extend your life. But before you rush to the fridge, let's dive into the details. The study
Cancer is hard enough. But when a patient also has lung issues, things get even tougher. One such problem is CTEPH. This is a condition where blood clots block vessels in the lungs, making it hard to breathe. A treatment called BPA might help. BPA uses tiny balloons to open up blocked blood vessels
In Ireland, a big push is on to help people with lung diseases like COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) stay active. The goal is to find the best ways for each person to keep moving, because what works for one might not work for another. COPD makes even simple movements tough. People with
A recent study from Sweden has stirred up conversations about birth control and breast cancer. This study followed over 2 million women under 50 for more than a decade. The findings show that while hormonal birth control is generally safe, there are slight differences in breast cancer risk depending
Dark matter has been a big question in science for a long time. It's like an invisible glue holding galaxies together. Now, a scientist thinks they might have found some proof of it. The idea of dark matter started way back in the 1930s. A scientist named Fritz Zwicky noticed that galaxies were spi
A recent study dug into how heart and lung fitness (CRF) affects thinking skills in older folks. It turns out, being more fit can make a big difference in how sharp someone stays as they age. The study looked at data from over 2, 300 adults aged 60 to 79. They found that people with higher CRF scor
The immune system's response to HIV treatment can vary greatly among individuals. Some men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV do not experience a full immune recovery, even with antiretroviral therapy (ART). This is a critical issue because it highlights the complexity of HIV treatment and
