Researchers take a closer look at the migration of heavy metals from soil to rice in China
Soil and water contaminants like pesticides and heavy metals build up in living organisms. Known as bioaccumulation, this usually affects aquatic animals and plants used for food. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals in crops is a hot topic among scientists because of the threat they pose to human health. Besides having toxic effects, some metals are […]

New study reveals why flu shots fail to give long-lasting immunity
Influenza vaccines can boost immunity, but this improvement is only short-lived. American researchers recently found that immunization increases the levels of antibodies against the seasonal flu-causing virus only for a few months, after which these levels plateau due to the loss of bone marrow plasma cells (BMPC). BMPC are the cells responsible for producing influenza-specific antibodies after vaccination. […]

Saline water found to improve yield and quality of cherry tomatoes
Fresh water is an important resource that the world has a very limited supply of. According to experts, 98 percent of the world’s water is salt water, and only two percent is fresh water. But of that two percent, 87 percent is locked up in ice and glaciers and 12 percent is in the ground, […]

High levels of toxicants from plastic products found in stranded dolphins and whales
Consumer waste like plastics pose a huge threat to marine life for various reasons. Apart from their durability and slow biodegradability, plastics also contain and attract toxic contaminants that can accumulate inside aquatic animals if they’re ingested. Over the past few decades, scientists have been sounding the alarm on the increasing amount of plastics found polluting the world’s oceans. A new […]

Scientists discover a reason for pain: Nerve endings in your skin help fight skin infections
Pain is universally viewed as a bad thing. Besides being an unpleasant sensation, pain is also associated with health problems and can affect day-to-day activities. But a new study published in the journal Cell sheds light on a different side of pain previously unheard of. Using an optogenetic mouse model, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (UPIT) discovered […]

Immune cells ATTACK the aging brain and release a substance that hinders new nerve cell production, report scientists
One of the defining features of the brain that sets it apart from all other organs of the human body (except muscles) is that it is made up of cells that cannot regenerate. The nerve cells in the brain called neurons are terminally differentiated, meaning that, unlike skin cells or blood cells, they cannot reproduce. So […]

Flavonoids from fruit can help protect you from viper venom
Flavonoids are active compounds produced by plants as part of their natural defense against microbial pathogens. In edible plants like vegetables, flavonoids serve as both pigments and regulators of their growth. Meanwhile in fruits and flowers, these useful compounds provide them with aroma and color. They also attract pollinators, eventually assisting in fruit dispersion, as […]

Shed and spread: Study finds drug-resistant superbug Candida auris can spread through skin shedding
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been warning the public about an emerging and potentially deadly superbug for years. Candida auris, a pathogenic fungus that belongs to the same family that causes candidiasis, has recently been causing severe illness in hospitalized patients in many countries, including the United States. According to the CDC, […]

Researchers find a new method of using bone marrow stem cells to reverse multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal subjects
Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, is a type of treatment that harnesses the power of stem cells to promote the repair of diseased, dysfunctional or damaged tissue. Stem cells, which serve as the body’s raw materials, are the earliest form of all cells in the human body. Prior to their maturation into specialized […]
