Plants have clever ways to protect themselves. When bacteria attack, they make special chemicals called hydroxycinnamoyl tyramine conjugates. These chemicals can hurt the bacteria, strengthen the plant's walls, and send signals to prepare for more stress. Scientists wanted to understand how these c
In the past, Australia was home to massive kangaroos. These giants weighed up to 250kg. That's way more than today's biggest kangaroos, which max out at 90kg. Scientists have been wondering if these big guys could hop like their smaller cousins. Hopping is a big deal for kangaroos. It helps them mo
The meniscus is a crucial part of the knee. It acts like a cushion between the bones. This cushion helps the knee move smoothly. It also absorbs shock. Without it, the knee would wear out faster. A tear in the meniscus can happen without any injury. This is called an atraumatic tear. It can cause p
Memecoins have been making waves lately, with their market value climbing and social media chatter heating up. This surge in interest might hint that investors are feeling more adventurous again, according to experts. Several memecoins have seen impressive gains recently, sparking a wave of excitem
Scientists have figured out how to make tiny arteries in the lab that work like the real thing. They did this by copying how arteries stretch and move in the body. This is a big deal because it helps them study arteries and test new medicines. The team used two types of human cells: one from vein l
People often overlook how hard it is to go from sitting to standing. This simple move, called sit-to-stand (STS), can show a lot about someone's mobility. Researchers wanted to see if this movement could tell us about a condition called locomotive syndrome (LS). LS makes it tough to move around beca
In Cameroon's Bafut Health District, two significant health challenges are colliding. Onchocerciasis, often called river blindness, is still a big issue. For years, communities have been using a treatment called ivermectin to fight it. But even with this effort, the disease is still around. At the s
Camel milk is loved for its unique taste and health benefits. But what happens when camels are treated with deworming medicines like Albendazole and Ivermectin? This is a big question in food safety. A recent study tried to find out how long these medicines stay in camel milk after treatment. Ten c
A recent experiment in China has shown that Niels Bohr was right in his debate with Albert Einstein about quantum mechanics. The experiment was based on a thought experiment proposed by Einstein almost a century ago. Bohr argued that certain properties of particles cannot be measured at the same tim
Trichinella, a sneaky worm, causes long-term infections by hiding in muscle cells. It's a big problem worldwide. Scientists know that ivermectin, a common drug, works well on adult worms in the gut but fails against the larvae in muscles. Why? They thought the collagen capsule around the larvae migh
