Many mothers aren’t immediately ready to care for their newborns after birth
Anxiety, Not Pain, May Be the Hidden Factor Shaping New Mothers’ Readiness for Newborn Care The first days after childbirth can transform an ordinary hospital...
Longer gaps between meals linked to faster disease buildup in older adults
A new study of older adults has found that people who routinely went longer without eating accumulated chronic diseases more quickly over time, challenging the...
International Review Standardizes Selenosugar Terminology and Selenium Metabolism
Selenosugars, a group of selenium-containing sugar metabolites that account for much of the selenium eliminated in human urine, have received a proposed scientific naming system...
Loneliness, social isolation and healthy lifestyles linked to longer disease- and disorder-free lives
Loneliness may be more than an emotional burden: new research suggests that feeling disconnected from other people, living with limited social contact, and following an...
General Photonic-Crystal Slab Cavities Enable Scalable, High-Power Single-Mode Lasers

Removing KDM2A Demethylase Restores Antitumor Immunity in Liver Cancer
A study published in the British Journal of Cancer reports that removing the gene encoding KDM2A, a histone demethylase, can restore anti-tumor immunogenicity in liver...
Seoul Study Links Short-Term VOC Exposure to Children’s Eczema and Asthma Burden
Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are usually discussed as individual pollutants: benzene, toluene, formaldehyde and a long list of other carbon-based chemicals that evaporate readily...
How Nicotine Products Affect Heart Health and Global Cardiovascular Risks
Nicotine use is often framed as a problem of cigarettes, but a new review in Nature Reviews Cardiology argues that the cardiovascular threat extends across...
Jet engines can’t tell coconut-blend fuel from jet fuel—but the environment can
Air travel’s climate footprint has made sustainable aviation fuel one of the most urgent engineering challenges in modern transportation. Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have...
