| Posted: 02 May 2022 06:48 AM PDT A study of nearly 9,000 children found those who eat a vegetarian diet had similar measures of growth and nutrition compared to children who eat meat. The study also found that children with a vegetarian diet had higher odds of underweight weight status, emphasizing the need for special care when planning the diets of vegetarian kids. |
| Reducing sedentary time mitigates the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases Posted: 02 May 2022 06:48 AM PDT A new study suggests that reducing daily sedentary time can have a positive effect on the risk factors of lifestyle diseases in only three months. Spending just one hour less sitting daily and increasing light physical activity can help in the prevention of these diseases. |
| Image-based mechanical simulations improve accuracy in gauging healing progress of bone fractures Posted: 02 May 2022 06:48 AM PDT When you first break a bone, the body sends out an inflammatory response, and cells begin to form a hematoma around the injured area. Within a week or two, that blood clot is replaced with a soft material called callus that forms a bridge of sorts that holds the fragments together. Over months, the callus hardens into bone, and the healing process is complete. But sometimes, that bridge between the bones fails to form, creating a nonunion. |
| Lighting the tunnel of plant evolution: Scientists explore importance of two-pore channels in plants Posted: 02 May 2022 06:47 AM PDT Two-pore ion channels are present in many eukaryotes -- both animals and plants. While the possible involvement of these channels in environmental stress responses have been discussed in higher plants, their localizations and functional significance remain largely unknown. Now, researchers have found the missing pieces of evolutionary history of two-pore channels in a species of liverwort. |
