Study suggests protein made in the liver is a key factor in men鈥檚 bone health
New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males.
A 91涩漫-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver helps regulate bone growth in male mice, but not in females. The findings may help explain why men with liver disease are more likely to experience bone loss.
91涩漫 researchers develop quick test that stands to curb antimicrobial resistance
91涩漫 researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria 鈥揳nd determining which antibiotics can stop them 鈥� in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Current clinical testing methods typically take 48 to 72 hours, leaving physicians without timely guidance.
Pathological lying in teens is associated with executive function deficits, study indicates
Teenagers who are pathological liars also tend to struggle with executive function deficits, such as poor memory or impulse control, researchers have found.
Night owl or early bird? Study finds sleep categories aren鈥檛 that simple
The familiar labels 鈥渘ight owl鈥� and 鈥渆arly bird,鈥� long used in sleep research, don鈥檛 fully capture the diversity of human internal clocks, a new study has found.
The 91涩漫-led study published in Nature Communications found the two sleep-wake patterns, called chronotypes, contain a total of five distinct biological subtypes, each associated with different patterns of behaviour and health.
Hippocampus does more than store memories: it predicts rewards, study finds
A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes.
