Language function and the psychosocial wellbeing of patients and their families can be promoted with singing-based rehabilitation. Group intervention provides opportunities for peer support while being simultaneously cost effective.
Alcohol exposure in early pregnancy can change gene function during the tightly regulated embryonic development, and consequently cause developmental disorders - especially neurodevelopmental disorders.
For the first time, astronomers have spotted an exoplanet with a decaying orbit around a star that resembles a future version of our Sun. The doomed world is destined to spiral closer and closer to its maturing star until they collide and the planet is obliterated.
The synthetic production of a critical building block called methanediamine for the first time by researchers in University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Department of Chemistry could lead to key insights into the origins of life. The researchers have discovered a method to produce it in a lab under conditions that mimic icy interstellar nanoparticles in cold molecular clouds in space.
Cambridge scientists have managed to identify and kill those breast cancer cells that evade standard treatments in a study in mice. The approach is a step towards the development of new treatments to prevent relapse in patients.
Study of farmer preferences shows that turning whole areas of farmland into habitats comes with half the price tag of integrating nature into productive farmland, if biodiversity and carbon targets are to be met.
By adding a gender dimension to the theory of “affordance perception” and applying it to the home, a new hypothesis may help answer questions of why women still shoulder most housework, and why men never seem to notice.
Females, on average, are better than males at putting themselves in others’ shoes and imagining what the other person is thinking or feeling, suggests a new study of over 300,000 people in 57 countries.

A new analysis of how far Americans have to travel to receive COVID-19 oral treatments like Paxlovid reveals stubborn discrepancies in health care access.
A new Yale-led study finds that testing for a single immune system molecule on nasal swabs can help detect stealthy viruses not identified in standard tests.
An experimental dementia drug slowed clinical decline in people with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease in a phase 3 clinical trial, a new study shows.
A new study by Yale paleontologists charts the radical evolutionary changes to the thigh bones of dinosaurs and birds that allowed them to stand on two feet.
An ecological rule breaker shows the effects of climate change on body size
A Yale-designed and developed instrument has given astronomers a better idea of how 55 Cnc e — also known as the “hell planet” — got where it is today.
The world’s wildlife populations have declined by almost 70% in the last 50 years as their habitats have been polluted and cleared by humans. Yet, animals play a crucial role in reforestation, a new study has found.
