Gut bacteria may hold clues to cancer survival and chemotherapy side effects before treatment even begins. A tumor can produce large amounts of lactate, a molecule that some gut bacteria consume as food. Mayo Clinic researchers found higher levels of both lactate and one of those bacteria, Veillonella parvula, in adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer […]
Your Gut Bacteria May Reveal How Cancer Treatment Will Affect You
Gut bacteria may hold clues to cancer survival and chemotherapy side effects before treatment even begins. A tumor can produce large amounts of lactate, a molecule that some gut bacteria consume as food. Mayo Clinic researchers found higher levels of both lactate and one of those bacteria, Veillonella parvula, in adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer […]
This Simple Once-a-Week Exercise Could Help Keep Blood Pressure Lower
A weekly wall-squat session may help keep blood pressure gains from slipping away. A study published in BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine found that adults who first completed four weeks of isometric exercise could retain some blood pressure improvements with just one or two sessions a week for another four weeks. Those who continued […]
Scientists Discover a Hidden Hydrogen Pathway That Could Transform CO2 Into Valuable Fuel
Scientists have uncovered an unexpected pathway for hydrogen transfer during catalytic CO2 conversion. A computer model designed to predict how carbon dioxide becomes useful chemicals produced a surprising error: It identified formic acid as the main product instead of methanol. When scientists expanded the model to account for thousands of previously overlooked reactions, its predictions […]

NASA Hubble Cold Case: A Dead Star May Have Given Birth to a New Planet
Astronomers revisiting old observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered a clue that may solve a decades-old cold case. A study published October 5 in Nature Astronomy reports evidence that the white dwarf HS 0209+0832 could be orbited by a second-generation planet. A white dwarf is the leftover core of a low-mass star that […]
What Killed Europe’s Ancient Wild Cattle? Scientists Find a Disturbing Answer
The fate of Scandinavia’s aurochs warns conservationists worldwide that curbing hunting alone may not save species facing depleted genetic diversity and fragmented habitats. The cattle on today’s farms descend from aurochs, wild animals that once roamed much of Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. They disappeared from Scandinavia thousands of years before the species became extinct […]
