Understanding how resurrection plants control their water structure to survive long periods of drought
Resurrection plants possess the ability to survive for months or years of drought before making a full recovery once water becomes available again. Japanese and Bulgarian researchers learned how one such species pulled it off by comparing it with a non-resurrecting relative. Their findings showed that the Orpheus flower (Haberlea rhodopensis) got ready for dry […]

Deaf after a loud concert? Researchers explain why
Most people know that listening to loud sounds will temporarily disrupt their hearing. Swedish researchers can now tell us how that happens — they identified the specific part of the hearing organ affected by sounds. “We have discovered that a tiny structure in the cochlea known as the tectorial membrane plays an important role in this […]

“Mind-reading” neurons allow us to simulate the thought process of another person
Humans pick up much of what they know by observing other people doing it. This observational learning approach relies on “mind-reading” brain cells that simulate whatever is going on in the mind of the person performing the task. A University of Cambridge research team found the specialized neurons in the amygdala of the brain of […]

Not just a fluke: Study confirms that the universe is expanding faster than expected
Since its explosive birth during the Big Bang, the universe has been expanding nonstop. Experts recently learned that the cosmos was growing faster than their original estimates. NASA-affiliated researchers went over Hubble Space Telescope data on distinct stellar types in the Milky Way’s nearest galactic neighbor. Observation of these distant stars made it possible to […]

Competitive sperm: Study reveals it performs better in the presence of sexual rivals
Competition tends to bring out the best in people. Turns out, that saying applies to sperm as well. Spanish and Swedish researchers found that spermatozoa can alter themselves to compete with rival sperms from another male of the same species. In an animal model of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio), the researchers found that spermatozoa changed their […]

NASA’s exoplanet hunter has discovered an Earth-sized alien world
The TESS space telescope has taken its first step in catching up to the massive achievements of its predecessor, Kepler. The NASA-operated spacecraft has recently found its first Earth-sized exoplanet. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has spotted a planet circling the dwarf star called HD 21749, which is 53 light-years away from Earth. This […]

Reduce inflammation in the gut with the “fasting-mimicking” diet
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammation-related conditions may consider taking up a low-calorie eating pattern. In particular, they could take one that simulates fasting. Researchers report that such a fasting-mimicking diet may help prevent inflammation and improve gut health. In mice models of IBD, the fasting-mimicking diet encouraged the growth of good gut […]

NSAIDs for arthritis pain linked to increased risk of heart valve disease
Arthritis patients often use celecoxib, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for alleviating swelling and pain. But researchers warned that it might trigger serious issues in the aortic valve. Celecoxib goes by the brand name of Celebrex. It belongs to a group of NSAIDs called COX-2 inhibitors. The Vanderbilt University research team evaluated multiple medical records. […]

Evidence of “funerals” in gorilla society? Video shows baby grooming dead mother’s body
Humans aren’t the only ones who mourn for their departed loved ones. A recent study showed that eastern gorillas also held funerals for their dead, even if the late animal wasn’t directly related to their band. These grim routines included healthy animals touching and licking the corpse. Experts worried that Ebola and other infectious diseases […]

Answering a scientific puzzle: Do animals living in extreme cold grow to giant sizes because of their slow metabolism?
Some of the largest living animals in the world dwell exclusively in the polar seas and the deepest parts of the oceans. Blue whales, colossal squid, lion’s mane jellyfish, and other leviathans may have attained and maintained their massive sizes thanks to a combination of extremely slow metabolic processes and oxygen availability in polar waters. The […]
