Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a significant worldwide health issue that lacks effective treatments. Scientists are still trying to grasp the biochemical pathways that cause this disorder. This is where metabolomics comes in—it's a promising method to understand the metabolic changes linked to AUD.
Alzheimer's disease is a serious illness that makes it hard for people to remember and think clearly. Scientists are looking at new ways to treat it, like using special bacteria called probiotics. Probiotics can help your brain and gut work better together, which might slow down the disease. To make
Sixty years ago, the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) started as a small group aiming to connect scientists in Europe. Today, it's a global force with over 30, 000 members across 39 societies. To celebrate its 60th anniversary, FEBS Letters held a writing contest asking participan
Imagine if you could juice up your phone while drinking water at the same time. Scientists have come up with two materials, CP1 and CP2, made from lead. CP2 is super speedy in moving electrons, which makes energy production quicker and eco-friendlier. While both materials look promising, CP2 could b
Day one of Moana 2's international release was a real wave-maker, raking in $8. 8M from just 10 countries. Imagine this: it's not even a major holiday period outside the US, yet these numbers are making big splashes. In France, the animated flick smashed records, scoring the second-highest opening d
Alzheimer's disease, a tough foe that damages the brain over time, is a major worry due to our growing life expectancy. We need better ways to tackle it, especially those that fight aging. Recent research has given us lots of options, from simple lifestyle changes to fancy new medicines. Regular wor
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a serious health issue that can lead to many health problems and even death. A possible treatment is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT), which can improve the lives of those with SCD. But HCT is not easy; it can be physically and emotionally tough. This study
Imagine you've just had a kidney stone removed through a procedure called retrograde intrarenal surgery. While most people recover well, some may face a dangerous infection called sepsis. A team of researchers has created a predictive model using machine learning to help doctors spot how likely some
In Ireland, where the population is aging and people are living longer, managing chronic diseases has become a significant challenge for the healthcare system. To tackle this, a Chronic Disease Management programme, or CDM, was launched in 2020 in Irish general practices. This programme was part of
Have you ever wondered what goes on in the area where a lake meets the land? This zone, known as the lake riparian zone (LRZ), is crucial for moving stuff between the land and water. But what about chemicals that can mess with hormones, called endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs)? Scientists wanted
