#20 — Potential Drug for Tackling Lower Back Pain
Navitoclax shows promise in treating lower back pain by eliminating senescent osteoclasts, but human trials are required for confirmation.
#19 — New Findings Open Doors to Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
Researchers at the University of Leicester have identified two proteins that transport cholesterol from our intestines, potentially leading to new therapies for reducing cholesterol absorption and lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke.
#18 — Incredible Molecule Boosts Lifespan and Muscle Function
Scientists at the Buck Institute have found a molecule that improves mitochondria function, extends lifespan, and may treat age-related diseases.
#17 — Asian malaria mosquito spreading drug-resistant malaria in Africa
A mosquito called Anopheles stephensi is spreading rapidly in Africa, increasing the risk of malaria infection and resistance to control methods.
#16 — Unveiling Tuberculosis's Achilles Heel
Researchers have used computer simulations to uncover the intricate journey of a crucial component, triglycerides, within the Tuberculosis pathogen's cellular barrier.
#15 — Models predict future Earth's supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, will bring extreme heat
In 250 million years, Earth's supercontinent will become inhospitable to most mammals, including humans. This is based on a recent study using newer climate models.
#14 — New evidence pushes the Moon's age back 40 million years
New analysis of crystals brought back from the moon by Apollo astronauts suggests that the moon is 40 million years older than previously thought.
#13 — Challenging prehistoric gender roles, evidence shows women too were hunters
Evidence suggests that women were also physically capable of hunting and found examples of equality in ancient tools, diet, art, burials, and anatomy.
#12 — This gene is associated with longevity in Golden Retrievers
A gene called HER4 could hold the key to extending the lifespan of golden retrievers and potentially offer insights into human cancer studies.
#11 — How Neanderthal DNA is distributed in humans
New genetic analysis revealed that the presence of Neanderthal DNA varies slightly between European and Asian populations, with a slightly higher proportion in the genomes of ancient European populations.
#10 — Seaweed was a delicacy in Europe until the early middle ages
A new study has revealed that our European ancestors consumed seaweed and freshwater plants for thousands of years, long before these nutrient-rich resources became marginal in the region.
#9 — An atlas of the human brain
Scientists now understand how over 85 billion neurons in the human brain cooperate to shape our thoughts and emotions.
#8 — How to wipe out a cell's memory?
Scientists have devised a groundbreaking method to enhance the reprogramming of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) – versatile cells that can mimic embryonic stem cells and potentially revolutionise regenerative medicine.
