Findings show high-dose thiamine and biotin treatments can restore normal processes
Low-quality sleep is nothing new. However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought to the forefront the topic of stress and how it plays a role in negatively affecting sleep quality.
Astrophysicists say that cosmic inflation – a point in the Universe’s infancy when space-time expanded exponentially, and what physicists really refer to when they talk about the ‘Big Bang’ – can in principle be ruled out in an assumption-free way.
Cancer is a leading cause of human disease and death worldwide, but it's also common in animals. Can we learn something about the genetic mutations associated with cancer in animals that sheds light on the origins of human cancer and how to prevent and treat it?
UC San Diego researchers develop a 3-D culture for a rare disease that has long defied effective study and development of therapies
Findings show that early screening for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can be the key to successful treatment or prevention of advanced fibrosis, scarring of the liver

Researchers have been able to make some key determinations about the first galaxies to exist, in one of the first astrophysical studies of the period in the early Universe when the first stars and galaxies formed, known as the cosmic dawn.
This is going to be another one of those “let’s ask ourselves some difficult questions” newsletter introductions, so if you’re in the U.S., I certainly won’t blame you for not giving Actuator your full attention until after the holiday.
