New research suggests that explanations based only on climate may not fully account for the major decline of the lowland population in Central America and calls for a reassessment of those assumptions. Between 750 and 900 CE, the population of the Maya lowlands in Central America underwent a dramatic demographic and political decline. In many […]

A surprising lab discovery reveals a light-powered way to tweak complex drugs faster, cleaner, and later in development. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have created a new technique for altering complex drug molecules using light instead of hazardous chemicals. The advance could speed up drug development and improve how medicines are produced. The work, […]

New research suggests our Sun was part of a huge migration of Sun-like stars that moved away from the Milky Way’s center billions of years ago. Scientists have found new evidence that our Sun may have been part of a large-scale movement of similar stars that left the inner regions of the Milky Way about […]

Younger colorectal cancer patients have abnormally stiff colon tissue that promotes tumor growth, pointing to biomechanical forces as a key factor in early-onset disease. Bioengineers from the University of Texas at Dallas co-led a study that uncovered a striking characteristic in colon tissue taken from younger colorectal cancer patients. Colorectal cancer has historically been considered […]

Scientists are uncovering surprising links between aging and the microscopic communities living in the gut. Gut health may depend in part on the age of the microbes that live inside us. Scientists suggest that the biological “age” of the gut could be influenced by the bacteria that populate the intestines. A study published in Stem […]

Pregnancy is known to reshape the brain, but new research reveals that these changes do not stop after the first child. Scientists at Amsterdam UMC have found that a second pregnancy also reshapes the female brain. Earlier work by the same research team had already shown that a first pregnancy can alter brain structure. The […]
