People with type 2 diabetes and highly variable systolic blood pressure had nearly triple the death risk of those with normal blood sugar and steadier readings in an observational study. At a blood pressure check, the cuff around your arm captures a moment in the pressure inside your arteries. Readings that rise and fall across […]

Mice kept more brain tissue and performed better on a memory test after researchers blocked an immune attack, without removing the tau tangles linked to Alzheimer’s. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a potential way to protect the brain from damage associated with tau buildup. In mice with Alzheimer’s-like […]

A sugar in red meat that the human body recognizes as foreign may help explain the food’s link to type 2 diabetes. Preliminary findings from a French study of nearly 90,000 adults linked higher intake of a meat-derived sugar called N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) with a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants with […]

Yellowstone’s wolves helped reduce elk numbers, but tree recovery remained limited, challenging the popular story that their return restored the park’s ecosystem. You might be among the 46 million people who’ve seen a video showing how wolves changed Yellowstone, or you may have heard some other version of this story. Yellowstone, which covers nearly 3,500 […]

Fossils of a newly recognized Egyptian crocodile species come from the same rocks as the Great Sphinx, and a missing snout tip helped inspire the animal’s name. Crocodile fossils recovered in Egypt in the 1920s were initially grouped with a living long-snouted crocodile called the false gharial because of their outward resemblance. A new examination, […]

Satellite measurements of Nicaragua’s Masaya volcano suggest magma is entering one reservoir as another drains, offering clues that could improve monitoring for future hazards. Visitors come to Nicaragua’s Masaya volcano to look into its lava lake, while roughly 2 million people live within 13 miles (21 kilometers) of the active volcano. The molten rock exposed […]

A protein-building molecule helped switch resistant prostate tumors back into a drug-sensitive state in experimental models, offering a potential target for future treatments. Many treatments for prostate cancer, one of the most common cancers in men, target a protein called the androgen receptor, which fuels tumor growth. Tumors can escape that approach by becoming less […]
