A healthy thymus in adults is tied to longer life, reduced disease risk, and improved cancer treatment response. Two new studies from researchers at Mass General Brigham are challenging the long-standing belief that the thymus becomes unimportant after childhood. By using artificial intelligence (AI) to review standard CT scans, scientists found that adults with a […]

Scientists Reveal Eating Fruits and Vegetables May Increase Your Risk of Lung Cancer
Researchers investigating a rise in lung cancer among younger non-smokers have uncovered a puzzling pattern linked to diet and environmental exposure. A diet packed with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is widely considered healthy and typically seen as a cornerstone of disease prevention. But new research from the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of […]
AI Reveals Explosive Growth of Floating Algae Across the World’s Oceans
Machine learning reveals that ocean conditions are increasingly becoming more favorable for macroalgae growth. For the first time, researchers using artificial intelligence have carried out a global analysis of floating algae and found that blooms are increasing across the world’s oceans. The study links this expansion to changes in ocean temperature, currents, and nutrient levels, […]

5.5 Million Bees Discovered Living Beneath a New York Cemetery
A cemetery hosts millions of vital pollinator bees, showing their ecological importance and the need to preserve their habitats. To cut costs, Rachel Fordyce used to park for free at Ithaca’s East Hill Plaza and walk through East Lawn Cemetery to her job as a technician in an entomology lab at Cornell University. One day […]
The Surprising Diet Rule That Makes “Good” Parasites Work
Worms reduce inflammation only on high-fiber diets; low fiber disables their benefits and disrupts gut health. Intestinal worms may help calm inflammation in the human body, but only when they receive enough dietary fiber. Without sufficient fiber, they shift into a hibernation-like state and lose their protective benefits. This finding comes from a new study […]
