| New bird app spreads its wings Posted: 21 Apr 2022 06:41 AM PDT Researchers have helped design an app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by breaking down language barriers between scientists. |
| Lab grown, self-sustainable muscle cells repair muscle injury and disease, mouse study shows Posted: 20 Apr 2022 12:16 PM PDT In proof-of-concept experiments, scientists say they have successfully cultivated human muscle stem cells capable of renewing themselves and repairing muscle tissue damage in mice, potentially advancing efforts to treat muscle injuries and muscle-wasting disorders in people. |
| Cannabis poisoning cases in pets have increased significantly, study finds Posted: 20 Apr 2022 12:16 PM PDT A survey of veterinarians in the U.S. and Canada highlights mounting cases of cannabis poisoning among pets and sheds new light on symptoms, treatments, and outcomes. |
| Got food cravings? What's living in your gut may be responsible Posted: 20 Apr 2022 12:15 PM PDT New research on mice shows for the first time that the microbes in animals' guts influence what they choose to eat, making substances that prompt cravings for different kinds of foods. |
| Gastric inflammation: How a bacterial infection causes tissue changes Posted: 20 Apr 2022 10:35 AM PDT When the bacterium Helicobacter pylori infects the stomach, it causes gastric inflammation and increases the risk of stomach cancer. Researchers have been able to elucidate characteristic changes which occur inside the gastric glands during an H. pylori infection. The researchers discovered a novel mechanism which, by restricting cell division in healthy stomach tissue, protects the stomach against cancerous changes. An inflammation of the stomach, however, deactivates this mechanism, enabling cells to grow in an uncontrolled manner. The researchers' findings may herald a new treatment target in stomach cancer. |
| Warming climate and agriculture halve insect populations in some areas Posted: 20 Apr 2022 08:29 AM PDT Climate change and intensive agricultural land use have already been responsible for a 49% reduction in the number of insects in the most impacted parts of the world, finds a new study. |
