A naturally occurring compound in rice bran may play an unexpected role in regulating intestinal movement. A team of scientists led by Dr. Keisuke Obara, Dr. Kento Yoshioka, and Professor Yoshio Tanaka from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Toho University has discovered that ferulic acid (FA), a naturally occurring polyphenol found in high amounts […]
Popular Weight-Loss Drugs May Also Treat Addiction
Drugs best known for treating diabetes and obesity may also dampen the powerful cravings that drive addiction. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report that medications in the GLP-1 class may help both prevent and treat substance use disorders across a wide range of addictive drugs. Their findings suggest these medications […]
Physicists Finally Realize Long-Predicted 2D Topological Crystal in the Lab
Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator. Physicists at the University of Jyväskylä and Aalto University (Finland) have successfully created a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator in the laboratory. This unusual quantum material was predicted by theory more than ten years ago, but producing it experimentally […]

These Tiny Teeth Could Change What We Know About Human Origins
Tiny fossil teeth from Colorado are revealing new clues about the very first relatives of primates, including humans. Scientists have discovered tiny fossils of Purgatorius, the earliest known relative of all primates including humans, in a more southern part of North America than ever before – a finding that is helping researchers better understand how […]
Breakthrough Discovery Could Make Pancreatic Cancer Respond to Chemo Again
A newly discovered gene switch may help turn chemotherapy-resistant pancreatic cancer into a treatable disease. Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School have discovered a molecular “switch” that determines whether pancreatic cancer cells respond to chemotherapy or resist it—a finding that could help shift some of the most treatment-resistant tumors into forms that respond better to existing […]
