Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining signatures of string theory. Imagine slicing an apple into smaller and smaller pieces. First you would reach molecules, then atoms, and eventually the subatomic particles inside them, including protons, quarks, and gluons. According to string theory, however, nature may continue […]

Tiny galaxies orbiting the Milky Way may hold clues to one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries. Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies are among the smallest known galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. Astronomers have long viewed them as ancient remnants from the early cosmos. Now, researchers at the Oskar Klein Centre and the LYRA collaboration have used a powerful […]

A major international study has uncovered several new genetic clues tied to hyperemesis gravidarum, a debilitating form of pregnancy sickness once widely misunderstood. The USC team that recently identified the hormone-encoding gene GDF15 as a major driver of pregnancy sickness has now linked nine more genes to its most severe form, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Six […]

Laboratory tests show cranberry juice may strengthen a common UTI antibiotic and reduce bacterial resistance. Urinary tract infections affect more than 400 million people worldwide each year, and some epidemiological studies suggest that over half of all women will experience at least one during their lifetime. Most UTIs are caused by harmful strains of Escherichia […]

Scientists have uncovered evidence that metformin’s effects may begin in an unexpected place: the intestine. For years, researchers believed metformin, the most widely used medication for type 2 diabetes, worked mainly by reducing glucose production in the liver. However, a new study from Northwestern University using mice suggests the drug’s primary target is actually the […]
