A Rare and Deadly Cancer May Have an Unexpected New Vulnerability

A Vermont research team achieved disease control in 67% of patients by targeting cancer’s energy system. Mesothelioma often begins with an exposure that happened decades earlier. Asbestos fibers inhaled into the lungs can remain trapped there, causing chronic inflammation that eventually contributes to tumor growth. The disease is rare but highly aggressive, affecting about 30,000 […]

THC-CBD Treatment Dramatically Reduces Agitation in Dementia Trial

A medically formulated THC and CBD treatment reduced agitation in a blinded trial involving people with late-stage dementia. Restlessness, aggression, and emotional distress can make late-stage dementia especially difficult for patients and caregivers. In a first-of-its-kind U.S. clinical trial, a specially prepared medication containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), two active compounds in marijuana, significantly […]

Rare 8,000-Year-Old Rock Shelter Captures a Turning Point in Human History

A Catalan rock shelter preserves a rare record of the transition from hunter-gathering to farming. For thousands of years, people repeatedly returned to a rock shelter above the Montsant River, leaving behind traces of a profound change in human life. Excavations at Coves del Fem (Ulldemolins, Priorat), within Serra de Montsant Natural Park, have now […]

Scientists Say Love Follows Mathematical Patterns

By expanding dynamical systems theories to account for forgetting rates, attraction levels, and reaction patterns, math can now identify ‘relationship danger zones’. Could the course of a romantic relationship be traced through equations? Three decades of research suggest that love can follow recognizable patterns, allowing mathematics to identify signs that a couple may be approaching […]

Long-Term Money Problems May Accelerate Brain Aging

Decades of financial hardship were associated with poorer cognition and brain health later in life. Years of persistent financial strain may leave measurable effects on cognitive performance by middle age and on brain health decades later. Research led by University College London (UCL) linked long-lasting money problems with poorer cognitive outcomes, rather than treating financial […]
