Researchers in Sweden have identified an unexpected biological mechanism that could influence future cancer treatments. Scientists in Sweden have uncovered an unexpected anti-cancer effect from a molecule produced by the bacteria responsible for cholera. In a new study from Umeå University, researchers found that this bacterial toxin can slow the growth of colorectal tumors without […]

The health benefits of dietary flavanols appear to come from their ability to trigger responses in the brain and the body’s stress systems. That slightly dry, tightening feeling some foods leave in the mouth is known as astringency, and it comes from naturally occurring plant compounds called polyphenols. Among them are flavanols, which have attracted […]

An international research team has secured more than €1 million to investigate a recently uncovered Roman cult district. Roman-period archaeology in Hesse has reached a new stage of progress. The German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) have together awarded more than €1 million ($1.2 million USD) to fund detailed research […]

Fossils dating back 773,000 years from Thomas Quarry I in Morocco shed new light on the shared ancestry of Homo sapiens, Neandertals, and Denisovans. An international team of researchers has identified and analysed newly discovered hominin fossils from Thomas Quarry I (Casablanca, Morocco).  Using advanced geological dating methods, the team determined that the fossils are […]

A Swiss Brown cow has been shown to use tools flexibly and deliberately, challenging long-standing assumptions about the cognitive limits of livestock. In 1982, cartoonist Gary Larson introduced readers to Cow Tools, a now-famous Far Side comic that shows a cow standing confidently beside a collection of strange, impractical objects labeled as tools. The humor […]
