Researchers discovered that a diabetes medication altered how certain immune cells function, potentially reducing harmful inflammation. A medication already used to treat diabetes may protect the heart by changing how immune cells behave in the bloodstream. In a small human clinical trial, researchers found that the drug reduced inflammatory cell clusters associated with cardiovascular disease, […]
Lake Powell Just Hit Its Lowest Level Ever
Snow drought and record warmth have pushed Lake Powell to its lowest level on record, deepening pressure on the Colorado River system. Snow drought and exceptional warmth across the Colorado Basin in 2026 helped push water storage in major Western reservoirs to historic lows. By summer, the effects of the weak mountain snowpack from winter […]

Scientists Discover a Mysterious Giant Deep-Sea Creature Hiding in Plain Sight for 40 Years
A newly identified giant isopod species offers clues to how these deep-sea crustaceans spread around the world, including a possible return to the Americas via Antarctica. A giant crustacean brought from Puerto Rico to Germany as a teaching specimen has turned out to belong to a species unknown to science. Tübingen paleontologist Professor Dolf Seilacher […]
What’s Really Inside Breast Milk? Scientists Discover 7 Molecules Linked to How Babies Grow
Seven molecules in human milk could help explain how a mother’s nutrition connects with her baby’s growth, offering a window into the biology of milk production. Human milk contains thousands of nutrients, metabolites, proteins, immune factors, and other molecules, yet researchers have often studied those components one at a time. Much remains unknown about how […]

Scientists Discover a Surprisingly Simple Way To Relieve Stubborn Carpal Tunnel Pain
A brief procedure using saline could offer lasting relief for stubborn carpal tunnel symptoms without steroids, a small clinical trial suggests. The numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain of carpal tunnel syndrome arise when the median nerve, a major nerve running from the forearm, is compressed inside a narrow passage in the wrist. Corticosteroid injections can […]
Researchers Map the Brain’s Mysterious “Blue Place” and Discover a Record-Breaking Neuron
Scientists exploring the brain’s “blue place” discovered the longest neuron ever measured in a mouse and uncovered new clues about how the brain learns. When mice in a decision-making experiment switched their choices after a negative outcome, neurons near the top of a tiny brainstem region became active. Just before the mice ignored cues that […]
