Pressure-resistant air sacs allow lake fly larvae to dive hundreds of meters and complicate a long-standing theory about ocean insects. Each day, billions of lake fly larvae vanish into the oxygen-deprived depths of Lake Malawi, surviving pressures once thought capable of crushing an insect’s respiratory system. Their unusual ability is challenging a long-held explanation for […]
Tiny Divers Challenge a Major Theory About Ocean Insects

New Compound Could Help Aging Muscles Repair Themselves
A sulfur-containing compound may shield one of the body’s most important muscle repair signals from the chemical damage that drives age-related decline. Aging muscles may not lose the signals needed for repair. Instead, those signals may remain in place but become chemically damaged and unable to do their jobs. Researchers have now identified a sulfur-containing […]
Exercise Helps Hip Arthritis but the Relief May Be Hard to Notice
Exercise is widely prescribed for hip osteoarthritis, but a study suggests the relief it provides may be too small to notice in day-to-day life. Exercise is one of the most common recommendations for hip osteoarthritis, but a major new evidence review suggests its average benefits may be smaller than many patients expect. The Cochrane review […]

Scientists Tested an 8-Hour Eating Window and Found a Surprising Brain Benefit
Limiting the daily eating window may provide brain benefits beyond those associated with weight loss. Eating within a shorter daily window may provide cognitive benefits beyond those associated with weight loss alone, according to results from a small clinical trial. The pilot study followed older women with overweight or obesity during a weight-loss program and […]
Scientists Reveal the Climate “Perfect Storm” Behind an Ancient Civilizational Collapse
Overlapping climate cycles may have intensified the droughts surrounding the Late Bronze Age collapse. Around 3,200 years ago, societies across the Eastern Mediterranean faced drought severe enough to strain water supplies, agriculture, and food security. Research from Stockholm University, published in Science Advances, suggests these extreme conditions developed not from one isolated event, but when […]
