Prevent age-related cataracts by increasing your intake of vitamins and carotenoids
As people grow older, they become more prone to developing cataracts that can impair their vision or even cause blindness. To prevent this, experts suggest eating more foods rich in vitamins and carotenoids. These nutrients help prevent the onset of age-related cataracts. Earlier studies found links between the consumption of these nutrients and a reduced risk of cataracts in […]

Engineers create nanophotonic structures that can compute using “light and waves”
Analog computing might get a new lease on life thanks to metamaterials that control electromagnetic waves. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) developed a metamaterial whose tiny structures manipulate light to solve mathematical equations. “Photonic calculus” encodes parameters into the properties of an electromagnetic wave. Once the wave passes through the metamaterial, its properties get altered by nanostructures. The modified electromagnetic wave serves […]

Experts discover that walnuts can “change” the expression of genes that fight breast cancer
Walnuts put the “super” in superfood: Not only are they packed with omega-3 fatty acids and polyphenols, but studies have also linked walnut consumption to many health benefits. Just when you thought that walnuts can’t bring anything else to the table, a recent study in Nutrition Research reveals that eating the nuts can alter the genetic behavior of breast cancer cells, […]

Understanding “tiger parenting” – experts say the strict parenting method can also be full of warmth
Tiger parenting entered mainstream consciousness when Chinese-American writer Amy Chua used the term to describe her approach to raising her children in her 2011 book. Researchers elaborated that the parenting strategy is both severe and warm. Chua based her approach on the strict way her parents raised her. Chinese parenting got their children ready for the […]

Can insulin production be restored? Study finds potential new treatments for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
A recent study brought up the possibility of restoring the function of insulin-producing beta cells in diabetes patients. It showed how pancreatic cells change their behavior during the onset of the disease. The study, which employed a human cell system, revealed that diabetes altered the RNA messaging system that gave orders to proteins to act in […]

Beyond the senses: Blind people develop accurate ideas about appearance using inference
People who were born blind will have never seen an animal before. Despite their disability, a recent study has suggested that blind people can have surprisingly accurate ideas about an animal’s appearance. Researchers from John Hopkins University (JHU) investigated how blind people developed insight into the appearance of something that they have never seen. They published […]

Pain got you down? Researchers find certain regions in the brain are involved in both pain and depressive mood
It turns out, the regions that handle pain are also the ones involved with depression, building on evidence that people with depression have a higher sensitivity to pain, even from minor injuries that shouldn’t hurt. Earlier studies have suggested that people with depression do not have full control of their ruminative thought processes, linking this to weakened activity […]

How old is life on Earth? Fossilized fungi could offer clues, say researchers
Ancient fungi might have made their way on land ahead of their plant counterparts. A recent analysis of fossil fungi from the Northwest Territories of Canada suggested that the organisms might be a billion years old. Researchers from Belgium, France and Canada discovered ancient fungi with a complicated and branching shape. They published their findings […]

Scientists explain how the brain’s “inner pickpocket” identifies objects
How do skilled pickpockets figure out an object with just the slightest touch? A study from the University of Cambridge and Columbia University revealed that the brain can identify an object’s properties using purely statistical information. In sum, everyone has an “inner pickpocket” lurking inside them. This interesting finding not only explains why this form of thievery […]

Compounds in lung moss can potentially treat even drug-resistant candida infections
A grayish lung-like lichen may help treat patients with infectious fungal diseases that developed a resistance to pharmaceutical drugs. A new study found that natural molecules in lung moss (Lobaria pulmonaria) possess anti-fungal activity and can selectively target drug-resistant strains of Candida albicans. The use of too many antibacterials, anti-fungals and other pharmaceutical drugs led to […]
