Silymarin from milk thistle can prevent hand-foot syndrome, a common side effect of chemotherapy, reports study
Silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle (Silybum marianum), is a flavonoid commonly used to treat liver disorders. But a recent study suggests that silymarin can also be used to reduce the harmful side effects of chemotherapy. In a recent study, researchers from Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS) in Iran found that topical application of silymarin can […]

New super-enzyme “eats” plastic six times faster
Scientists have created a super-enzyme that can degrade plastic bottles up to six times faster than a previously discovered plastic-eating enzyme. The synergistic enzyme “cocktail” combines PETase and MHETase. These enzymes are produced by Ideonella sakaiensis, a bacterium that has evolved the ability to eat polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a strong, synthetic fiber used in creating plastic […]

Sufficient vitamin D levels can prevent severe COVID-19 outcomes, including death
Vitamin D is both a fat-soluble vitamin and a hormone critical for boosting immune health, suppressing inflammation and absorbing essential nutrients, among other important functions. Now, with COVID-19 still threatening the nation, health experts are scrambling to find out if vitamin D could also aid in the prevention and treatment of the disease. In a recent study, […]

Wildfire plumes worldwide are contributing to ozone pollution and harming air quality
Wildfire smoke contains different trace gases, aerosols and compounds that can affect both human health and the environment. One such compound, called nitrous acid, is often underrepresented in atmospheric models despite its role in air pollution. But a new report is changing that. Scientists from the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) and the Royal Belgian Institute for […]

Scientists can now implant “false memories” into animal brains
The idea of scientists implanting “false” memories might seem like a scene straight out of a science-fiction book. But as it turns out, it isn’t as far-fetched as it seems. In a recent study, neuroscientists at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto succeeded in manipulating mice brains into retaining memories that never happened to them […]

Sitting for too long can change the shape of your heart and increase cardiovascular disease risk: Exercise is key to reversing the damage, say experts
From tough tendons to shock-absorbing joints, humans are built for endurance. This comes as no surprise since survival during ancient times depended on demanding activities like hunting, gathering and farming. Now, emerging research indicates that the human heart is also optimized for endurance. In a major breakthrough, a team of researchers from the US and […]

Researchers discover a protein in plant roots that could help reduce the need for chemical fertilizers
Nutrient-poor soil as a result of harmful commercial farming practices, such as the use of chemical fertilizers, is becoming more common around the globe. But experts find that plants might not need so much fertilizer, after all, thanks to a special protein located in their roots. In a major breakthrough, an international team of researchers […]

Study: The global ocean appears to be absorbing far more carbon dioxide than current climate models predicted
The Earth’s oceans could be soaking up double the amount of carbon dioxide that current climate models have predicted. In a major breakthrough, English and German researchers found a higher net flux of carbon into the oceans than previous estimates after accounting for small differences in surface and near-surface ocean temperatures. The researchers think that scientists […]

Vitamin D deficiency is linked to higher COVID-19 risk and severe outcomes, reveals study
It is a well-known fact that vitamin D performs several important functions, from boosting immune health to regulating blood pressure. Over the past decade, multiple studies have also provided evidence that taking vitamin D could reduce the odds of developing infections like the common cold and the flu. Given these precedents and the ongoing pandemic, scientists are now eager […]
