Chinook salmon need cold water during the first weeks of development for their eggs to survive. California’s most endangered salmon now survive as a single population in the Sacramento River, far from much of the cold mountain habitat where they once spawned. Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon have averaged only a few thousand returning adults […]

P2RX7 may be linked to severe suicidal thoughts and recovery, but researchers still need to confirm the pattern in living people. Severe suicidal thoughts may leave a detectable biological signal in the brain, and that signal could also change when people recover. Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have identified a receptor that may […]

A seed-sized injectable device could make nerve stimulation therapies simpler, safer, and more accessible. Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi, working with Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, have created a tiny injectable device that could offer a less invasive way to treat chronic pain and movement disorders. The device is designed to control nerve activity without surgery, […]

Adults who drank sugar-sweetened beverages every day had a higher observed risk of gastric cancer, while artificially sweetened drinks showed no such association. Sugary drinks are part of the daily routine for many Americans, with approximately 65% of U.S. adults reporting that they consume at least one sugar-sweetened beverage each day. Researchers at the Mass […]

Before insects ruled the skies and reshaped life on land, some of their ancestors may have paddled through shallow coastal water on rows of abdominal limbs. Today, insects occupy nearly every terrestrial environment and account for more described species than any other animal group. Their rise helped transform early land ecosystems by moving nutrients, breaking […]

Thousands of enormous whales are turning the waters off East Greenland into an immense feeding ground that barely existed a generation ago. Fin whales, humpback whales, and common minke whales now gather along a coastline where all three were once rarely seen. Researchers say warmer water, retreating sea ice, and a major relocation of their […]
